My tonsils have been swollen very badly for about two weeks. There is pus on them and they are sore, I was coughing up blood for a couple of days, and now my right ear is starting to ache. I think that it's connected to whatever is going on with my tonsils. I have been to the doctor and the emergency room because of them, I was given a penicillin shot and prescribed azythromyacin. I have since finished the antibiotic I was prescribed, and the penicillin shot is gone from your body in ten days. They are not any better, and the doctor can't tell me what's wrong. What do I do? Do I need them taken out?
That is exactly what is going on with me right now! Have you gotten better yet? I should hope so, as it is now May...
Please let me know what the verdict was. You are the only person I've heard who has the pus covered tonsils AND the earache. Miserable, isn't it?
