Is White Lines Of Pus On Tonsils After Being Treated For Strep Normal?

May 7 yr. Daughter has had strep 2x in a matter of weeks. S.he is now on her 2nd round of meds. She feels great, no fever, no more sore throat and is running around playing...but the white lines of pus are still on her tonsils and do not seems to be getting betters. We start red 2nd round of meds last Wed. When will the tonsils look like they are improving? I want the strep to go away this time.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that her infection has improved to the level that there is no more symptoms but seems like the infection is still lingering..
Or the white spots seems to be due to tonsil stones or tonsilloliths as the pus pockets would have resolved by now..
You should consult a Paediatrician and get her evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
In case if the infection is still present then another course of antibiotics along with warm saline gargles and steam inhalation has to be done..
In case if there are tonsil stones then getting manual removal done followed by 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water and limiting dairy intake can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
