Looking For A Second Opinion . I Saw A ENT

default
Posted on Mon, 4 Jan 2021
Question: Looking for a second opinion. I saw a ENT specialist last month for a white spots on left tonsil. Present since late spring (could be before but didn't notice). Not painful. Started with one, I think it got a bit smaller. I thought it was a stone but whatever it is, it doesn't move or wipe off. The ENT Dr told me it wasn't a stone and not to worry, it could be from a previous viral infection. I had a flu shot December 2019 and got sick with flu (or Covid-19?) last week of January, had pneumonia. that's the only viral infection I had. Took antibiotics. Seeing ENT again next week follow up but noticed there are 3 white spots now. I was treated for H-Pylori in October and took clarythromycin and metronadozole, infection now clear.
