Because tonsillitis frequently results in excruciating throat discomfort, azithromycin alone may not be beneficial and may even lead to resistance if used repeatedly. Instead, make relaxation, gargling with warm salt water, staying hydrated, and taking painkillers like paracetamol your top priorities. If you have pus on your tonsils, a high fever, or symptoms that have lasted longer than a few days, see a doctor. Only if the infection is bacterial may they check your throat and administer the proper medication (often based on penicillin). Antibiotics should not be used for self-medication.
