Recurred White Patches On Right Tonsil, Black Spots On Left Tonsils, Feeling Of Something Stuck On Throat. Suggest

I had white patches on my right tonsil for a couple of days. The MD gave me a z-pack and they went away. As soon as I finished the pack, white patches and black spots came up on the other tonsil and now its hard for me to swallow. I have no fever and hardly any pain, it just feels like there is something stuck in my throat. What do I do??

Hi, the infection of the throat with white and black spots on the tonsil are due to infection, with a bacteria . When you have used the z pack it was not cured as the infecting organism is not sensitive to that antibiotic. So there is recurence.
So i advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have culture and sensitivity of the throat swab, and get treatment accordingly. Thank you.
