Antibiotics: You have been given 2 different antibiotics. More important that source of infection be determined. For tonsil stones see an ear/nose/throat specialist. For dental infections, whether tooth or gum, ask dentist for referral to either oral surgeon or endodontist.

A member asked:

There is a sore white spot underneath my tonsil. It is not a tonsil stone, I know that for sure. My best bet is that it is Tonsillitis or another infection. Should I visit the doctor fast or are there any at-home remedies?
