How Long Do White Spots On Tonsils Take To Disappear?
Hi, I m 22 F and I just started a z-pack Friday for an acute ear infection and tonsillitis. My ear pain is gone and my tonsils are definitely not as swollen anymore, but I still have white patches. Some have disappeared and it s just red, but I noticed two more today that weren t there Friday. I don t have a fever. How long before those spots go away? Is it normal to still have them?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
White spots on tonsils usually disappear on their own after few days.
If you dont have a fever, I suggest to avoid using any medication.
You can use a throat spray for anti bacterial properties.
I also suggest to gargle with salty water.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
