A member asked:
Why is it that i still have puss pockets, but no puss in them after being off the medication for at least 3 weeks now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Debris, food or yea: The pocket may be filled with debris, food or yeast. Very common when infection causes pockets in tonsils or nearby structures. Your dentist can easily clean them out.
