It is very reassuring that you are feeling better overall, which shows the Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) is doing its job. Yes, it is completely normal for your tonsils to still look enlarged and red on day four. While the antibiotic works quickly to clear the infection, the physical inflammation in your throat tissues takes a bit longer to heal and return to normal. Please continue taking your medication exactly as prescribed until it is completely finished to prevent the infection from returning.
