A member asked:
Why do i have yellow pus pockets on my tonsils and what can i do to treat them at home ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: The pus indicates the presence of bacterial infection, which means that antibiotics are required. If you have had fever and pain when you swallow, taking a bath with warm water and some anti-inflammatory could help to diminish the symptoms (be more careful if you have allergies). However, a consult and prescription is required; telemedicine resources could be helpful in this situation.
