Ear Infection Gone After Taking Antibiotics, Steroids. White Sore Near Tonsils, Having Swallowing Difficulties

Two months ago I had an ear infection on right side that ruptured. Two courses of antibiotics and steroids and it's gone. I'm left with what looks like an open white sore where my tonsil should be on the right side. (tonsils out when five). The left side just looks like a small bean. This is causing swallowing difficulties.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be havingpus or ulcer in right tonsillar fossa giving rise to this picture.
Now as you finished antibiotic medicine course wait for few days and do antiseptic gargles.
Within a day or two it will be alright.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
