Well, my trip to the doctor Friday morning confirmed I too have tonsillitis. The doctor put me phenoxymethlpenicillin, 4 pills a day for 12 days. Wikipedia told me that this is the recommended antibiotic for Streptococcus pyogenes, the cause of Group A streptococcal infections. Interestingly, I also found a link between these infections and rapid development of OCD or tics, known as PANDAS.
Well, I felt better the next day after just 4 doses, so it seems to be working! Little bit nauseous, though, not sure if that's the antibiotics or something else, but that settled down too.
I'm also aware that antibiotics may stop the pill from working, so DH isn't getting much fun for 12 days!
Poor DH!!! I am so glad you found something to help with the tonsillitis.

DH has run out of painkillers again, so isn't up to much anyway ;)
