A member asked:
Tonsils have white drainage spots no fever but sinus n ear pressure do i need antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsilitis: Whether you need antibiotics depends upon the cause of the spots on the tonsil and this can be determined by culturing this. See a doctor and have this appropriately evaluated. Suspect that you may not need anything beyond symptomatic care.
