On first week of Feb I woke up one morning with really sore throat. I've never had anything like that before. I've tried treating it at home but after 10 days I contacted GP, I was prescribed steroids, but that didn't do anything and by that time I had white spots on tonsils and fever so was prescribed 5 days of penicillin. It cleared the white spots but throat remained red still. After 3 days of finishing antibiotics, tonsillitis came back again so again I was prescribed 10 days of penicillin. After 10 days dose, I still had red throat so blood test and throat swab was done. Both came back normal, throat swab was sent to a lab and after 2 weeks I got a text that there's some light growth of bacteria and the lab shows that it's sensitive to penicillin so penicillin again it is. 7 days round again and as soon as I was finished white spots started appearing again.
I went to GP again and she prescribed Co amoxiclav. She also found a swollen lymph node in my neck so she said these antibiotics should sort it out. This brings it to today. I just took the last pill and my tonsils seem normal, lymph node is gone, but I STILL have red, sore throat.
Had anyone maybe had something similar? I'm truly desperate tbh. It's been almost 2,5 months of this and after 4 rounds of antibiotics I'm just just so tired. We have a holiday booked for this Sunday but I'm not sure how wise it is going knowing I most likely will have tonsillitis there again.
