[|Human|] I have swollen tonsils on my right side. My ear bothers some and my gum is sensitive also. I have been to the doctor twice this week but so far no relief.Amoxycilin was prscribed first visit. Prednisone prescribed second visit. Been taking the meds for 6 days now
[|AI|]  Helloi have gone through your query. I think it can be due to some viral infection or some gum infection also leads to throat and ear infection. If you don't have any toothache or any decay in tooth it might be case of throat infection. You don't have to worry about so much. If I were your treating doctor I would advise you to take amoxicillin plus cavulanic acid combination twice daily for 5 days at least. Only plain amoxicillin won't be that effective. If it is due to a viral infection then you don't have to take any antibiotic. Symptoms will reside in 1 week. Take plenty of water, rest and if pain is there a a painkiller like diclofenac can be taken. Hope this answers your query. Take disregards
