A member asked:

My daughter was diagnosed with the croup this morning. now i have white spot on left tonsil, is it adult croup or strep throat? should i see a dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The actual adult equivalent of croup is voice loss/laryngitis. A white spot on a tonsil is not specific to a particular illness and could be a benign tonsil stone. If you have no fever or sore throat I would ignore it.
