this could be a peritonsillar abscess. one-sided severe tonsillar swelling is the primary sign of this potentially-serious problem. since i can't see it my advice would be to seek medical care as soon as you can. you need to be re-examined. unless your doctor specifically tested you for strep before prescribing the keflex. failure to respond or even worse on antibiotics could indicate that you have mononucleosis (mono) so this should be considered when you are seen today.
my right tonsil is severely infected and is getting more swollen and infected with keflex medicine. what should i do? . i have had a problem with getting tonsillitis over the past couple years but i mainly get it it on the left side. however this time it is the right one that is infected. i have been taking keflex for it for about 4 days and since that it has gotten more swollen and now completely covered in white puss and infection. should i go to another clinic or hospital? is there anything they can do since i'm already on medicine.
