Go to the emergency room or call your doctor immediately if you experience difficulty breathing or swallowing. Severe breathing problems require immediate medical intervention.
Signs Requiring Urgent Care:
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop a high fever (over 103°F or 39.4°C), a stiff neck, or severe dehydration. These could indicate a more serious infection.
Also, contact your doctor urgently if your tonsillitis symptoms worsen despite treatment with antibiotics like Augmentin, or if you experience significant ear pain or a rash.
