The pus on my tonsils are gone but it is still a little inflamed. Can I stop taking co-amoxiclav 625mg ?
I just want to ask you if I can stop taking co-amoxiclav 625mg if the pus on my tonsils are gone but it is still a little inflamed. I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago to be diagnosed my physician gave me the medicine to take. It healed but after a week the right side of my tonsils have pus and I self medicated with the drug my physician gave me two weeks ago.

Hi,
Remember, "Self Medication is bad" it can put you into trouble sometimes. If you have taken the above medicines for more than 10 days better stop it, if you do not have any symptoms. Also, do gargles with povidone iodine mouth gargles and drink plenty of warm water.
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar

Thank You for your reply Dr. Kumar I used it for about a week when my physician gave me the prescription and then stop but after 5 days there's accumulation of pus again on the other side of my tonsils so I start the medication again, and now I've been drinking it for 3 days now. If I stop it will the bacteria have immunization on that medication?
Thank You and Regards!

Hi,
You can continue the antibiotic for another 5 days but along with that please do gargles with povidone iodine mouth gargles.
