Show it to Your Doctor!
You have Follicular Tonsillitis, also called Lacunar tonsillitis.The lacunae are filled with a cheesy substance, consisting of epithelial cells and various micrococci, and, protruding from the crypts, give the tonsil a spotted appearance; the mucous membrane between the crypts is bright red, and bathed with a creamy pus, sometimes resembling a membrane, and may be mistaken for diphtheria.
The treatment of choice is Penicillin V, with Erythromycin or an oral Cephalosporin as alternatives for people allergic to penicillin.

it's an infection...can be a variety of different bacterias causing the infection....such as strep. go into your physician and ask for a throat culture...if most bacterial infections can be cured wityh penecillin or amoxacillin because they are broad spectrum antibiotics....meaning they kill a wide range of bacteria...but if they say you have strep ask your doctor for a "Z-Pack" its a streptococous specific antibiotic that will clear the infection in 4 days whith only taking 1 pill a day...well 2 pills the 1st day. If your doctor looks at you funny and asks you what a z-pack is....roll your eyes at them and tell them it's the abreviated term for zythromax. and it's better than taking a broad spectrum antibiotic 3 times a day for 2 weeks....then find yourself a doctor who knows what they're doing.

Get thee to a dr for some drugs! It's either tonsillitis or strep....or both. I just this week got over a case of strep--but had the patchy infection lump thingies. Go, it'll only get worse and you don't want that!!!!!!!!
