A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you feel that you've had a sore throat or a throat infection? Can you recall any throat trauma.or something that caused throat irritation? These are things that can cause some tonsillar discoloration. If this discoloration persists have a throat examination by your physician or an ENT specialist.
