A member asked:
I have an abs is on my tonsil, must i see a doctor or just a pharmacist ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor: If the area on your tonsil is an abscess, the doctor might be the one to prescribe an antibiotic to fight the abscess. You can also try warm salt water rinses back in the tonsil area 3-4 times a day for 5 minutes.
