Is A Sore Throat With Mucus A Sign Of Tonsillitis?
I came back from a vacation at the beach with a sudden sore throat and mucous at the back of the throat. I started a zpack two,days ago but my throat still is sore. it feels like a large lump above my Adam s apple. the back of my throat is white (no spots). is this tonsillitis?

hello
It looks like you may be having a pharyngitis and not a tonsillitis , please continue the z pack and start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day. you should void cold and food and smoking.
Dont worry, you will be fine!
