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
