A member asked:
Hello. i have 3 ulcers in my mouth. i have i think 3 little "spots" at the end of my throat. can tonsillitis cause mouth ulcers? is it tonsillitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lesions: Tonsillitis causes inflammation of the tonsils. They may become red & swollen. Ulcerations might be associated with tonsillitis but 3 small ulcers is not diagnostic of tonsillitis its self. Can’t diagnose with available information. Examination, history & possibly other testing would be needed to make an accurate diagnosis. Treatment would be dictated by diagnosis.
