What Causes Yellow Discharge From Cryptic Tonsils?

Hello! So I have had throat stones appear in my tonsils but they have been appearing more so recently. Also, just since yesterday, I don t see any of the throat stones in the back of my throat but I am still having the bad breath smell symptom from them. And in the back of my tonsils, if I press my finger against the crypts, a whitish/yellowish colored substance oozes out of the crypt. Also, I have had these bumps on the very back of my throat for a few days and just passed it off as an irritation due to an allergy. I am beginning to worry that something is wrong with my tonsils. Do you have any advice or suggestions as to what may be going on? Or what I should do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The yellow discharge could be a pus from the infected tonsil. It can be secondary to the tonsillitis or peritonsillar abscess. Consult a ENT surgeon and get it treated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
The halitosis is because of this problem only. Once you get the tonsils treated everything will return back to normal.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
