Phone NHs direct. Maybe she needs a different/stronger antibiotic as if shes been on p/cin for 2 days it should have started to clear up by now.

I've suffered with tonsillitus on & off for years, infact the last time i got it i rang the surgery & managed to get a prescription over the phone, 3 days later no improvement, which is not normal, felt really bad, struggling to swallow things, in the end the doctor came out to see me & he diagnosed quinsy , i spent 2 days in hospital on a drip, get the doc to have a look at her again..

I had a similar thing (streptococal throat infection) when in my final year at uni, was fecking awful, affected my balance, couldn't stand up without help, nor keep anything down, every time I swallowed it was like someone was putting a red hot poker down my throat, wouldn't wish it on anyone, my heart goes out to your missus.

Just sounds like the standard form of tonsilitius I used to get before having them out. I used to get hallucinations and wail in my sleep through the fever. I thought I'd never get better as it went on for days.
Just get her to keep taking the tablets, no matter how much it hurts to swallow. Get her a throat spray like Covornia (sp) and just make sure she is comfy. It will pass eventually.

It may be glandular fever (aka Epstein-Barr Virus) as you have a few days of mild symptoms, including headache and fever, and then the 'major' symptoms begin. They test for this by taking a blood sample...I had GF whilst at school, and they thought I may have it again - but my blood work came back negative...
The link below gives symptoms etc -

Don't worry or panic if this is diagnosed - although recovery is dependent person to person, and how severely affected by the virus the person is, there is a better understanding now, than there was say 13 years ago of these types of conditions.
Ganglias ( as I have heard of them) are normally swellings around joints?
HTH - and I hope apples24 wife begins to feel a bit better soon..
