A member asked:
I have pain in my left tonsil and weird discoloration spots that look somewhat like mucus but i'm not sure. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to be examined: The tonsils are very irregular in texture and appearance, and even variations in mucosal color. So, sometimes what you think is abnormal is really not. I examine a lot of young people with concerns like yours and usually it is not anything to worry about. However, get checked.
