I had a bad throat pain (no fever and cough) and went to ent. He told I had got a bad tonsils infection and asked me to take antibiotics through iv for three days and rest two days medicine. I got better but once my antibiotics got over again my pain came back and I checked my tonsils area looking little red again n two yellow spots have reoccurred. Should I continue the antibiotics for another 5 days. Kindly help as I don't want to go back to hospital in this situation. Thank you. Medicines I took. Iv for three days- cefuroxime and pantoprazole medicine for 2 days - cifran, pantodac and chymoral forte.
