White secretion in tonsil holes
I recently had Thorat culture and sensitivity done at lab. Shows presence of bacteria. Kesibiella oxcytoca. Does this cause white secretion and also it has left two huge holes in tonsils. It's a white sticky liquid. What is the next course of treatment and how do I prevent further damage to my tonsils

Hi
What are your symptoms, do you have throat pain and fever? Have you been given any antibiotics based on this culture and sensitivity report? How much secretion is there? This needs to be clinically evaluated because if there is pus collecting in or around the tonsils, it will need immediate treatment with antibiotics and may even require removal of the pus. I would suggest you to consult an ENT specialist online/In-person at the earliest.
