Question

I've been taking mefenamic acid and co-amoxicillin for my tonsillitis, and it's been four days. The pain and swelling in my tonsils have gone down a lot. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop the mefenamic acid now and just continue with the co-amoxicillin?

Antibiotics typically eliminate the infection in about 10 days. Symptoms usually improve within 2 or 3 days after starting antibiotics. so continue treatment as advised by your doctor
