Hi I am a college student and I have been looking at my throat few months ago and there were holes and white stuff. And now, there is a hole on the upper left side of my tooth/gum. In addition, my throat glands have swollen lot more than it used to be. What would be the possible sickness according to the symptoms I have listed above?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The hole in the tooth is because of the decayed tooth which has resulted in abscess formation with a pus discharging sinus tract. The swollen glands you are descibing can be because of the tonsilitis or peritonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get the tooth restored with root canal treatment. Mean while for the infection, you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
