i have had constant strep
throat/tonsillitis (they actually don't
know. strep tests have come back negative
but they continue to treat me for it
anyways) for over a month and have been on
three different medications, and it won't
go away. my tonsils stay swollen and have
weird patches on them. the packets aren't
quite like the puss pockets that form when
you have been on antibiotics yet, but more
like scars and cuts, as well as little
white dots.
also in recent days my ears and nose have
stuffed up and since starting my latest
medication, apo-amoxi clav (amoxicillin -
clavulanate) my eyes have swollen up, i am
constantly tired and weak and my joints
and muscles are in pain. i get "chill"
like symptoms, but i have no fever. should
i ask my doctor about tonsillectomy? is
there something else that is possibly
wrong?
