White patches on tonsils
Dear doctor, I have been having a feeling of something stuck in my throat since three days. Yesterday I noticed white patches on both my tonsils. I'm guessing tonsil infection. I feel no pain so far. I have been gargling since last night. Kindly prescribe how to treat this infection.
