A member asked:
Unilateral tonsillitis. negative for strep, and dr says no pta. intermittent foul taste. now blood in throat mucus. 3 days steroids/tylenol no help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ENT: If this has been present for more than a couple of weeks or getting worse, see an ENT to get checked out . The foul taste and bleeding suggest that there may be an abscess in that tonsil.
