You should stay in bed for as long as you feel unwell. Your body will tell you how long you need to rest.
Generally I would relax and take it easy for a couple of days to let the antibiotics truly work.
antibiotics should not be over used because antibiotics taken unnecessarily may kill the beneficial bacteria in the body.
If it is from step you should be without a fever and on antibiotics for 24 hours before coming in contact with other people. If it is another type of bacterial infection then you probably are not contagious. You should ask your doctor.
If it's a bacterial infection, then a course of antibiotics is given, usually Azithromycin. Also, drink lots of fluid and get plenty of rest.Mainly painkillers, but antibiotics can also be prescribed if the tonsillitis is caused by bacteria. If the tonsillitis returns multiple times, then a tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils) will be performed.
Some of the patients have viral infection as a cause of tonsillitis. Such patients should be treated without antibiotics. The one with streptococcal infection need therapy with tablet penicillin V.

You should see your surgeon or his PA to find out if it is just tissue inflammation from the surgery or an actual infection requiring antibiotics.
Since a person with known tricuspid valve stenosis is at risk for infections of the heart, antibiotics should be taken before and after oral or dental surgery, or urologic procedures.
no but i would recommend going to the dentist
My daughter's doctor & hospital have always made sure they were given 1 hour pre-operatively.
You should not use antibiotics that were not prescribed by your doctor for your condition. Please go see a doctor.
