A member asked:

I have strep throat. now i have more white pockets after meds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strep: If you completed the meds and still have pus, it either is the meds didn't work, you have another infection on top of the strep (ex.mono, adenovirus), or you have tonsillar stones which has nothing to do with the infection.
