I have a yellow discharge in my tonsils, it's not tonsil stones, just like an ooze and there's some swelling. what could it be? how do i treat it?

Tonsillar discharge: Could be infection of tonsils, post nasal drip or possible retropharyngeal abscess. Seek medical attention at doctor urgent care. May consider antihistamine , and gargling with salt water 3 x a day but you also may need antibiotics
