Don't have insurance yet because my SS card and Birth Certif. were stolen. Still waiting on it to come in the mail from OR (its been almost 4 weeks now and I'm waiting on it for the appendicitis surgery that I had last month). So I'm not going to go to the doctor to get it checked out, especially since I know what it looks and feels like having had it twice before. He's just going to tell me what I already know and prescribe the same thing I have here and see if it clears up.

Anyways, other than poking around in my tonsils and removing tonsiloliths and other nasty bacterial shit in there and gargling with mouthwash, I have this 1 year old expired bottle of Erythrocin 500mg. I was googling about it and it says it will probably still work but might not be as potent. That's fine, but I was wondering how long I should take the tablets, and how often. The typical dosages are 2 tabs of 500mg every 12 hours (which is like what I was taking for the appendicitis), or 4 tabs of 250mg every 4 hours (which I think is what I was taking when I first had tonsillitis 5 years ago). But how long do I need to take them, 10 days?
I'm allergic to pennicillin and I had taken amoxacillin, bactrim, and erythromycin previously, this is the same thing right?


PS- The last time I had it, I don't think I took any antibiotics or meds at all, I just poked around and tried to keep the infection down manually via methods I mentioned above. I think I should get my tonsils removed but its fucked up for adults to do it apparently.

edit- I also just counted and I only have enough for 5 1/2 days

Vitamin D up 20,000-30,000 IU per day for a week is good for anti-upper respiratory type infections.

You should probably talk to your doc about dosing the antibiotics though.

wtf 20 to 30k? I take a multi vita that has about 700. Also this is an ENT thing not really respiratory right?

well the first time I think polluted beach water was to blame. Since then, I can relapse it from anything really. Strep, mono, or any other random virus or bacteria can bring it on.
Last week the girl im seeing was a bit sick so I'm pretty sure it was that.

Or did you mean my poking around to clean?

Just get them taken out it's not that bad of a recovery and you feel much better and never have to worry about it again.

A lot of tonsilitis infections can actually be viral, so anti biotics might be a waste of time, even moreso if you continually find yourself sick since you're gonna need them for something else and oyu don't want to build up an immunity

yea I know, which is part of the reason I didn't outright start taking them. It's starting to clear up really fast though since I've been microing my throat. I think I'm gonna be fine, thanks anyways
