Question: how often do you take penicillin for tonsillitis?
Answer: Penicillin V is usually given four times a day. This is usually first thing in the morning (before breakfast), at about midday (before lunch), late in the afternoon (before tea) and at bedtime. Ideally, these times should be at least 3 hours apart. Sometimes Penicillin V is given twice a day to prevent infections.
