On And Off Tonsils With A Piece Of Skin Hanging From Left Tonsil With A Hole
I have been having trouble with my tonsils off and on for about a year. I brushed my teeth earlier and now I have a piece of skin hanging from my left tonsil as well as a hole . There is always swelling and white pockets , and cuts on them. What should I do?

Hi, thanks for the query.
In my opinion ,You are having Chronic Follicular Tonsilitis.
Cuts & holes in Tonsil are crypts where yellowish purulent material present & cause recurrent tonsilitis.
Start antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , combination of Paracetemol + Ibuprofen , Antibiotic azithromycin for 5 days. Consider Tonsil removal if they are affecting your daily life.
Hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
