??????????: Your question is not clear. Tonsillitis is going to injure tissue and leave such debris.If it was tested and found to be strep, and treated with a penicillin drug, that will kill it.If it was viral (most are),no treatment is needed but there will still be tissue injury that must take time to heal. If this worries you, see the doc. If the kid is thriving, let her be.
