A member asked:
Doctor confirmed i have a viral infection which isn't glandular fever but my tonsils are swollen and are covered in white pus??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: More than half of throat infections are viral and "glandular fever" (mono) is just one of the possibilities.Any tonsil infection will produce pussy debris on the surface, often worsened because the normal stripping action of eating declines during thee illness.
