Your daughter is improving, which is a good sign that the antibiotic is working. In tonsillitis, the swelling of the tonsils can take several days to settle, even after the fever and pain have reduced. It is important that she completes the full course of Bactoclav (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) as prescribed, even if she feels better. Snoring may occur because the tonsils are still enlarged and slightly block the airway during sleep. This usually improves as the infection clears over 1 to 2 weeks. Make sure she drinks enough fluids, rests well, and avoids very cold or dry air. If snoring becomes loud, she has breathing pauses, difficulty swallowing, worsening fever, or does not improve after 2 weeks, please consult the doctor or an ENT specialist.

Bactoclav 625 is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections like the common cold or flu, but a doctor may prescribe it if they suspect a secondary bacterial infection or based on clinical findings, so it is best to follow your doctor’s advice and consult them if you have concerns about the prescription.

If your tonsillitis has not improved after 5 days of antibiotics, it may indicate a peritonsillar abscess (a collection of pus around the tonsils) or another infection that requires different treatment. You should see your doctor again for an examination. In the meantime, drink plenty of fluids, take paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain or fever, and avoid taking additional antibiotics without medical advice.
