I get it every 2-3 months, and am usually perscribed an antibiotic by a doctor, and begin feeling better within 24-48 hours after treatment. I got it again today [this time it had been exactly 4 months since the last
infection] but this time it was directly after getting over a cold that had my throat sore, nose running, and had me coughing. I'm wondering, as I read more and more online, if I would have gotten over all those bouts of tonsilitus without the antibiotcs.
