What Causes Swollen Tonsils With White Substance Inside?
I have swollen tonsils with pockets of a white substance inside. I felt discomfort, but no pain. This morning, I saw 3 white substances (looked like little balls), but now they are gone. Still no pain, but swelling is still there. Do you know what this is?

Hi, thanks for the query.
In my opinion , Acute follicular tonsilitis.
Start antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , Paracetemol + Ibuprofen combination , Antibiotic azithromycin , Vit C for 5 days.
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
