White Stuff On Tonsils, Had Infected Tonsils Before. Had Major Surgery. Suggestions?
Went to dr gibbons ent in Richmond va. He said I have a severely infected tonsil that has been that way for several months. He gave me augmentin 875 and he sent it off to be cultured.

Hi,
You have been seen by an ENT specialist who has diagnosed a tonsillar infection and treated you emperically along with sending for culture and sensitivity tests. If augmentin itself works you should be fine. Else, once the culture report arrives the right antibiotics would be started. So you do not have to worry.
