A member asked:

Why do i have some yellow or white pus in my amigdalas? close to the throat,is that bad or normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharyngitis?: Definitely not normal. This could potentially be a situation needing antibiotics. Something like strep throat for example. Check -> http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/strep-throat/basics/definition/con-20022811
