White patches in oropharynx
I have mild swollen tonsil from many years(only left tonsil)..Two weeks ago I consulted ENT and did CBC test,ESR test ,And throat culture...All blood reports came normal...but I am diagonised with Streptococcus pyrogenes...I was prescribed Cefuroxime Auxetil 500 for 5 days daily two times...after having the medicines tonsil swollen has came down little bit... But if I see in mirror I can see few small patches (as if skin peels of) in oropharynx...it is now more than 3 weeks old..There is no pain.. what is this? Is this anything serious?
