Why did my Doctor say that?!


Question: Why did my Doctor say that?
I was off school today because i felt sick. My dad wasn't feeling right and he went to the doctor so i went with him. My throat had been sore the last week but wasn't anymore. My doctor took one look at my throat and said i had tonsillitis and gave my a prescription. My throat isn't sore so i am confused about how i have tonsillitis?

Answers:

But you did feel sick today?

What did he prescribe? Antibiotics or analgesia? Its hard to answer your Q without knowing.

My guess is he prescribed antibiotics. Tonsilitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, which could be viral or bacterial. It may be that he could see something indicating a bacterial infection and decide to treat you with antibiotics. Even if the pain has gone the bacteria can still be there.

If he prescribed analgesia (pain relief) then i can understand you question as you are saying that the pain is gone, but i bet it was antibiotics he prescribed you.



just take the prescription and hush.
