Amoxicullin is best but flucloxacillin can be used to. most GP'S will proscribe amoxicilin unless you are unable to take any medication containing penicillin.

Can flucloxacillin be taken for tonsillitis?

The cause for tonsillitis is either viral infections or streptococcal infection. You do not need antibiotic for viral infections. The bacteria which causes tonsillitis is streptococci. Streptococci practically never produce beta lactamase enzyme. Flucloxacillin is used to treat the beta lactamase producing bacteria. The antibacterial action of flucloxacillin itself is very less as compared to penicillin or ampicillin. So flucloxacillin for tonsillitis is a bad choice.
