Are Hardened Pus And Bad Breath Related To Tonsillitis?
I have some pus pockets at the back of my throat. I ve had them for as long as I can remember, but they aren t causing me pain or discomfort beyond a few things of hardened pus appearing in my mouth and leaving a nasty taste every now and then. What can I do about it? Is it serious? I ve never had tonsillitis or mono either...

Hello,
Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, it's drainage down from the sinuses. Sometimes it is due to an infection that when it is healed up or treated it goes away.
At least as often, it is the climate/weather/allergens setting up for this and it comes right back again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
