Jenny Frankhauser Says She Is Recovering After ER Scare Over Suspected Tonsil Infection

She says an on-call doctor prescribed a strong antibiotic when the hospital lacked an ENT specialist.

Overview

  • Per her account, clinicians suspected a severely inflamed one-sided tonsillitis with a possible abscess behind a white tonsil.
  • She said the hospital referred her from the emergency department to the on-call medical service because no ENT doctor was available.
  • She reported feeling markedly better within hours after starting a prescribed strong antibiotic and eating multiple ice pops to ease swelling.
