What Causes Swelling Along With Pus Pockets On Tonsils?

I have had what i believed to be tonsil stones on one side of my throat for over a month now. I continue to dislodge them and more com back. I brush and use mouth was twice a day but it does not seem to help. My left tonsil is swollen now and i can see where a pocket of what looks like puss is contained. There is no pain just swelling and i did chew tobacco during my military carrer. Any suggestions to what they might be?

Hello,

If there is pus in tonsils you may need to use antibiotics. Wash the tonsils better using mouth wash and spry in order to prevent infection.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
