What Causes Pain In Throat And Redness In Tonsils?
Hi over the past week I ve experienced pain in my throat when swallowing or yawning. My tonsils are red and raw and my glands on the sides of my next are enlarged and painful to touch. Also today I noticed a black and yellow mass on one side of my throat. I have no idea what could be happening
you might have acute exudative tonsillopharyngitis, hence, the pain, redness and yellowish spots on your throat. it is best if you consult a doctor with regards to proper examination and medications for your throat. a mouth wash in the morning and before bedtime will also be of help.
hope this helps.
good day!!
