Suggest Treatment For Swollen Tonsils And Abcess Burst
I have had swollen tonsil with abcess a few times and I have that going on now where the abcess has burst twice now and I am on antibiotics. The first time was at lunch and kept spitting it out. My cheeks are really red like I am running a fever but that is at 97.6. This has been going on for 1 1/2 years now with twice my ENT specialist has cut open the abcess twice and the infection occurs every three months. This time it burst on its own or is leaking out. What is going on this time?

Hello
please dont worry as the leaking is a good sign and your infection will resolve soon. I would like you to meet your ent doctor and strongly consider getting a tonsillectomy done since you are having multiple episodes. Please gargle with warm salt water, spit out the pus and continue your antibiotics, you will be fine!!
Take care!
