Had Sore Throat And Swollen Tonsils. Having Red Line On Tonsils. Does It Take Time To Heal?
I went to the doctor a little over two weeks ago due to severe sore throat with very swollen tonsils. I had already been sick for at least 2 weeks prior to the doctor s visit. Now I feel back to normal, but one of my tonsils still has this red line on it, it s like a line of little red bumps. It doesn t hurt, but it doesn t look normal. Does it just take time for tonsils to heal after mono, or should I go back to the doctor for a second look?

hi,
if there is no pain you can ignore it.
tonsils do not have smooth surface. surface can be nodular and bumpy.
