visiting the message boards at drpoop for medical advice makes about as much sense as using
THIS SITE to get your medical questions answered.

one thing is for sure...whoever is offering advice about what you have-------- isn't a physician

Hey, that site is pretty good (it's bookmarked now) . . . I typed in his question <<I have pus clumping on my tonsils... Any idea what I could have?>>

The ball was responsive and very polite . . .

"<<See your damn doctor, dumb@$$ . . . Thank-you>>"

Since it happens every year, going to a doctor is a really good idea. I would be curious as heck if I had something like that on my tonsils. If I had any (got em removed when I was 6)

No doctor in their right mind would give you free medical advice on this forum because a) it puts a HUGE liability burden on them

what about all those quack 'ask dr. so and so' on yahoo and other internet sites? i see some piss poor advice from them sometimes.

You can bet at least 10 malpractice attorneys are watching this thread very carefully!!!!

i doubt it.

If you have pus coming out of your tonsils, I would suggest that you see a physician.

well at least i agree with this.

You mean "puss-poor" advice . . .

Made that appointment yet, DevilsAdvocate, or waiting 'till next year?

Since there is no pain, my best guess would be that you have Thrush (an infection caused by a fungus called Candida.) But no doctor in the world can give you an accurate diagnosis over the Internet.

I would belive that. but I ain't no doctor.

drink lots of water, take some magic pill, get some good rest and it shall be gone in a week .
