Hi, I have had what seemed like a mild tonsillitis: one of my tonsils swollen and painful, and a temperature (not too high). I have been checking for pus and to begin with there wasn't any. But after 4 or 5 days like this, yesterday I noticed a hole has opened in said tonsil and pus was coming out of it, quite liquid. Today the hole seems bigger, but no pus is coming out and in fact the swelling seems to be coming down and it's no longer painful. But I now have a hole I didn't have before. I'm not sure whether to go to the doctor to check this (I've never had holes in my tonsils before) or whether that's normal and I don't need the doctor since the pain has gone. Thank you for your help.
