Question: Should i still go to the docs.? at the beginning of the week i started to feel a little unwell, the past two.?
days i've had a high temperature, the shakes and a banging headache so i've been taking cold and flu capsules to ease the symptoms. Las night i noticed that my left tonsil had a few little white specks on it but had not noticably swollen up.
This morning when i woke up, i had no temperature and no headache so i havent had to take any painkillers or cold and flu tablets, i have been gargling with anti bacterial mouthwash. My tonsil still hasnt swollen up but it still does have a few white specks on it, in myself i feel a hell of a lot better than i have the past couple of days, i think i just had a viral infection, the only thing is my tonsils, only one has the specks and there is only a few 3 - 4, it is not swollen and there is only a slight twinge on swallowing. it is very difficult to get a doctor appointment at my surgery and most of the time i have to go to the sister surgery which is two buses away from where i live, so i'm sure you can understand i dont want to make that trek if they are just going to tell me to take asprin.
Basically the fact that my flu like symptons have cleared up does this mean i have fought off the illness or should i still go to the doctors.?

go to the doc just to be sure you might need antibiotics Health Question & Answer
Sounds like bacterial tonsilitus. I would go see the doctor and he/she will probably give you some antibiotics. I would worry I have had it several times and antibiotics usually do the trick.Health Question & Answer
Yes, Yes, Yes.....always go to the doctor is you are feeling unwell. You need to ensure that everything is fine ! You don't want to put your life at risk. A friend of mine was feeling unwell also a few weeks ago...she kept putting going off to the doctor....and when she finally went the physician found the problem more serious. If she had gone earlier this could have been prevented !!! GO see a Physician. It will be for your own benefit!!!Health Question & Answer
