Do you know if tonsiliths need to be treated with antibiotics?

Hi there, welcome back. There's quite a bit to read here... don't forget to check out the recommended tonsil stones and bad breath products. Thanks for visiting!


I noticed when I was sleeping a weird feeling in my throat, sure enough, once again I found a tonsilith in my left tonsil. This is like the 2nd time I’ve found one in my left one, I’ve had it twice in my right. Once I went to the doctor and he said that I needed antibiotics that it was just a bacterial infection. I always get these in December, every time I had it, it was in December. Does anyone know why?

The only way to be able to tell if antibiotics are required is to visit a doctor so that they can do a throat culture. Without a conclusive test (such as this) it is not possible to say without doubt that it is a bacterial infection. Also, the only way to recieve antibiotic medications is through a prescription from you doctor.
As to why this always happens in December, it is possible that your immune system always reaches a low point in December. This could be due to added stress from the holidays, cold weather etc.
