Okay the whole Peri-tonsillar abcess thing is jiberish to me. I was on antibiotics twice in 5 months both Penicilin for 10 days each time. Peri- tonsillar? Is that if you do have tosills? Because I dont. Not trying to be the biggest pain.. just trying to understand. I am going to an ENT for more observation. I may be young but the fact is, is that almost everyone in my family has cancer. I think that is the only reason that I am looking more into this, you know if worse comes to worse. As long as I am prepared.
