Peritonsillar abscess is a very painful condition and you will have severe symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty in swallowing, fever and change in voice. You may have seen whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. This condition is known as keratosis pharyngeus. Usually no specific treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
