A member asked:
Everyday wake up bad breath. tonsil had liquid drainage and puss balls that come out of it. no sore throat or anything. this a infection? abscess?

Probably not: Most likely you have cryptic tonsils (craters) and you get food stuck in the crypts. It may help if you gargle in the morning to disloge food particles.
