Do I need to see a doctor to get a prescription? Or can tonsillitis go away on its own?

Hello ,

most tonsillitis are viral and disappear by themselves, you can take analgesics (cepacol tablets or others), anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. But it may be of bacterial origin and in this condition, you should consult a doctor and take a culture because if it is positive or if the diagnosis is established, you should take an antibiotic.

Have a nice day
