A member asked:
How can you tell if an abscess on the throat burst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Throat abscess: You really need someone to look at this. The throat is a difficult place to evaluate, even as a practitioner. It is even more difficult for a person to look in their own throat. Get it checked by your primary practitioner or an ENT specialist.
