Suggest Treatment For Infected Lesion On Tonsil
Last week I was diagnosed with a viral infection I my throat. My right tonsil was much larger than the left and red with a tear in the middle with white stuff in it. The pain went away but my tonsil still looks ripped with the white stuff. What could this be?

Hello
The white stuff is undigested food and infected secretions stuck in the pits of your tonsils. Please gargle with warm salt water 2-3 times a day , it will help clear them up.
