A member asked:
How can i tell the difference between tonsillitis, strep throat, or tonsil stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it evaluated: You don't separate these on the basis of a single symptom or symptoms.You get sick enough to go in and have it evaluated.If you are not feeling sick, don't bother.If you are, it is worth the visit.
