Is Gordon Ryan not responding to the treatment?

Ryan has been suffering from a severe case of strep throat. He was hospitalized since his throat swelled up and made it hard for him to breathe. For such an infection, penicillin is the first choice that could be administered to the patients. However, there are times when the treatment doesn’t act according to the plan and penicillin didn’t work for him as expected. Ryan had to switch between amoxicillin and clindamycin to recover from the illness. 

In an Instagram post, Ryan provided the fans with all the details of his condition. He declared that he couldn’t train and was also headed for a tonsillectomy as well as fixing his deviated septum by surgery. Fans and celebrities alike sent their well wishes for his quick recovery.
