What Do White Streaks On The Tonsils Indicate?
Hi, i have white streaks in my tonsil. Doctor recommended to use betadine. when i spit after gargling betadine, thick blood like substance comes. This happens only when i gargle betadine. When I gargle with warm salt water, this doesn't happen. If that is blood, what will be the reason.

Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health problems.
If you have fever (raised temperature) along with white streak on tonsil possibility is of tonsilitis requiring antibiotic and antiinflammatory medicines. For that consult ENT specialist.
If not, it is food particles stuck in tonsils. To treat do warm salt water gargles 2-3 times a day. To prevent it in future do warm salt water gargles each time after consumption of food.
