A member asked:

15 yr female tested pos for influenza a yesterday was prescribed tamiflu 75 x2. now pus pockets are all on back of throat;?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As expected: This is a germ that initially enters the body through your upper airway and throat. A beefy set of tonsils are one classical finding with flu.It is expected, and not a surprise. You can often detect the germ before the full set of symptoms is evident.
