What Do Yellow Spots On Swollen Tonsils Indicate?
I have yellow spots on my swollen tonsils. It all started on the left side such as ear infection then swollen left tonsils then left eye. Now it's all moving toward the right side same thing. I have been to 3 doctors and the ER and 4 antibiotics and it's getting worse with no help.

Hi, yellow spot on the tonsils is nothing but follicles. These occur because of accumulated pus in the cleft of tonsil.
This is a indication of chronic tonsil infection.this chronic tonsil can keep getting infected on and off.
You can gargle your throat with beta dine gargle 3 to 4 times a day.but if infection recurrs, then
It is advisable to get your tonsils operated and removed
