Enlarged, White Spot On Tonsil After Tooth Extraction. Is This Bacterial Infection?
Hi, I had a wisdom tooth extracted on Friday. No complications but from yesterday afternoon I've felt feverish and tonight found white spots on my tonsils which are also slightly enlarged, with a very achey jaw from the extraction. Is this likely to be a bacterial infection?

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
As such there is no relation between extraction & tonsils.
Its better to consult ENT specialist for knowing the exact cause.
Do warm saline rinses thrice a day.
Wishing you good health.
