Two weeks ago, my right tonsil was swollen and covered in white patches, which was diagnosed as tonsillitis and treated with azithromycin. However, I experienced severe side effects including panic, fast heartbeat, and stomach cramps, leading me to stop the medication. Despite this, the white patches have mostly cleared, but I now feel hoarse and my left tonsil may be swelling again. Additionally, I feel like my voice is strained from teaching while sick. Could this be a recurrence of the infection, potential damage to my vocal chords, or something more serious like quinsy? Also, since I had a rash as a child from penicillin, is it safe for me to take amoxicillin now?
