I am 33 years old, healthy individual with no history of tonsillitis or any other prolonged, chronic diseases. In april I was diagnosed with acute pharyngitis and given amoxicillin for 7 days by an ent specialist. When it didn?t help, I was referred to hospital and was diagnosed with peritonsillar abscess and pericardial effusion and got operated on 10/05/19 for abscess drainage and tonsillectomy right. Then re-operated on 01/06/19 for retropharyngeal abscess drainage but no root cause/ bacteria was found to avoid the abscess recurrence. My pericardial effusion was punctured on 15/0519 and it didn?t increase or come back any further. I was given unasyn (09/05 - 16/05), ampicillin (21/05-27/05) and pipercilin+tazobactam (31/05-10/06.) I am now released from hospital on 11/06 and not taking and medicine. There was lot of secretion from my wound and slowly now the stitches have come out. Am doing dressing every day but wound not healing. Please advise.
