How long to get over tonsillitis?

Just wondering how long it's taken others to get over tonsillitis.

I can remember DD getting it, being diagnosed and going straight back to school (her choice).

DH has had it 10/11 days. He's signed off until Wednesday, but wants to go back to work on Monday (he's a worker and doesn't sit right with him having time off). He's been a bit more perky last couple of days, but we've been out for lunch and 30mins in garden centre and he's found it tiring. He's still got a sore throat, so not talking much, having to be careful what he eats.

With antibiotics, about a week to ten days. Without it would take me longer. Hope he gets well soon.

Thanks for your reply. He's on day 5 of antibiotics. Struggling again tonight, as he feels shattered.
