extended tonsilitis

extended tonsilitis

April 2004 I became sick with white spotted tonsils & 101 degree fever. I went through 4 family docs & was misdiagnosed & mismedicated by each one according to ENT doc. Went to ENT doc in Sept 2004 & took past doc notes & lab results. ENT doc said I had tonsilitis due to anaerobic bacteria infection & treated me w/ cleocin & I improved some. He said I became so sick b/c past docs did not take a throat culture & were treating me for strep which I did NOT have & the antibiotics caused the anaerobic bacteria to grow out of control. ENT doc tested me for viral infections as well as other family docs & all were negative. It has been about 2 1/2 months since I was sucessfully treated with cleocin, but my tonsils are still swollen & I do not feel 100% better. Lyphnodes are smaller & my teeth still hurt from time to time. Dentist says I have no dental problems, but infections of this type can cause inflamation (inflammation) in gum & tissue areas in mouth; X-rays good too & I have no wisdom teeth. ENT does not want to see me back unless spots return, but I still feel sick, get tired easily, cough especially when throat gets dry & loose voice occasionally. Sometime my mouth waters &I drool if laying down or sleeping & I cannot stop it. I now have acne all over my body too. I don't know what I should do. I have been sick with tonsils since April 2004 & it is now Dec 2004. That is a long time to be sick.  Any ideas what could be wrong with me. (I'm reaching, but we have mice at work which poop & pee on our desk & we must clean it up. Had fleas at work at one time until they sprayed.) Please help.
