Is Yellow Bumps On Throat With Swollen Tonsils Be STD?
Hello, the night before yesterday my throat was itching a lot. And I didn t think much of it because I have allergies and this happens quite often. But when I woke up it was really red on the top and with a yellow tint. When I look at the back of my throat there was a bunch of yellow bumps and my tonsils are swollen with some yellow stuff too. Do you think this could be an Std?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
Nothing to worry that is NOT STD.
The yellow spots you are noticing over tonsils are pus with food debris. This kind of tonsillitis we call it as follicular tonsillitis. I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Analgesics for pain relief.
3) Betadine garggle.
You will be OK.wish you a speedy recovery and good health.
