Yeah, cryptic tonsils can also give you tonsil stones galore. Do you have those drumstick?

sort of. tonisillits is just that...inflammation of the tonsils. the cause doesnt necessarily have to be strep bacteria and it could be viral or a number of other types of bacteria, among other non-infectious causes. if you have strep throat and your tonsils are swollen you could say you have tonsillitis from strep throat, however if you say you have tonsillitis the cause shouldnt automatically be assumed as strep.

the worst part of this story? going to the ER for strep throat. its called a PCP....find one and use it, saves time and money. hell, as much as i detest quickmed places even they are better than going to the ER for something as simple as strep throat

Yuck!

I haven't had strep since my tonsillectomy when I was 10.

I used to get chronic strep throat as a kid. Thank god I don't remember the pain, just those cool strep tests they used to let me keep. Thanks for showing pictures so I can try to imagine how gross my mouth was as a kid. Lol

Thats a case of tonsilitus my friend those white things are basically smell of sulphur correct? And they are hard which would make them tonsil stones. If you get this often id recommend gettin those tonsils out I had mine take out 2 years ago. I feel great. And I hardly ever get sick anymore

Horrid and terribly painful I'm sure. The grey membrane is like diptheria, yuck. Never had strep throat, hope I never will. An aunt one the other hand has had it countless times...
