I'm really struggling hereI've had GERD and a swollen tonsil area for around three months. My ENT says it's tonsillitis, but now my neck is starting to swell a bit too. They gave me some antibiotics, but I'm just not sure what's going on. Could it be something else, or do I need more tests? What should I do next?

I've had swollen tonsils for the past three days, but no other symptoms or discomfort. My doctor gave me Ceftum 500, but it hasn't made a difference, so now I'm on a five-day course of Augmentin 625. Could the swelling be from a viral infection instead of a bacterial one? How long does it usually take for tonsillitis to clear up? By the way, I'm a 28-year-old male.

have patince and complete the course consult ent if still persists
