A member asked:

How do i know if i have chlamydia? my left tonsil has white stuff and is a little swollen. my right one has like one spot on it and not swollen.

Tonsillitis: Special Testing for oral chlamydia can be done if STD is a possibility. Throat culture for strep and mononucleosis tests should be done.
