Tonsillitis and white spots

0 replies

Just wondering if the white spots caused by tonsillitis can remain after antibiotics are finished?

DS on day 6 of penicillin. He’s feeling a lot better, and temperature has gone, but his tonsils have more pus on them now than when he began the tonsillitis!

We can either keep him on the penicillin for the remaining 4 days, or switch to erythromycin. I’m a little weary of that, as he’s feeling good in himself, it’s no longer sore and he’s never had erythromycin before. Pharmacist said it can cause an awful stomach. I’m also allergic, so don’t want to throw it at him if he’s getting better on the penicillin.

Shall we just ignore the white patches on his tonsils for now, if he’s feeling better?
