A member asked:
When do white spots clear up from strep after antibiotics. i've been on antibiotics since wednesday (2/7/2013 still have noticed white spots on tonsi?

Not strep: You should be feeling back to normal. Sometimes white spots in the tonsils are not related to infection, but are collections of "stuff" down in the folds of the tonsils. If you are not feeling well, call your doctor.
