What is the best and fastest way to get rid of painful puss pockets in my throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsilliths : The pus pockets in the tonsils are related to crypts in the tonsil that fill with food them get infected and filled with pus. You can try a water pik device used for the gums and point it on the tonsils. Use a low setting like 2 or 3 to get used to the pressure. If this does not work, you will need the tonsils to be removed. Removing the tonsils solves the problem. It is painful though.
