I have a very sore throat, ear ache and it hurts to swallow. After two days of agony and approaching the weekend I called into the doctors this morning.

The GP identified a swollen tonsil and suggested the problem is viral rather than bacterial. But in case he's wrong he's given me a prescription for antibiotics. He said not to take them unless I have to as I'll simply end up with diarrhoea if there are no bacteria to fight. I'll give it another 24 hours, but I'm wondering how I shall know if its v or b?
