A member asked:

What does it mean when you get red bunps on the back of your tongue after having tonsillitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sequellae: Most probably is part of the whole process of infection/inflammation of the area. Should be part of the normal healing process. If they grow and start to ulcerate, you should seek professional advise.
