Tonsil stones
Hello Doctor,
I have tonsil problem since long. Since my childhood, There is one side tonsil(left) swollen a little bit. But, since last few months, I have been noticing tonsil stones occuring frequently in those crypts. I usually remove those with earbuds. Today, While doing the same, I noticed a pus kind of fluid from right side tonsil crypt. I don't have pain or irritation.
I have attached a pic of that fluid. Is it the liquid form of that debris/stones formed inside those crypts ?
(p.s.- Looking too much red due to flash light)
Please advise me. I am worried about if anything serious related to it.
Thank you.
