 Sore throat with inflamed tonsils is common and may be due to bacterial infection, viral infection, and occasionally herpes virus infection. Appearance of the tonsils is not usually specific, but bacterial infection is more likely to have whitish or yellowish exudate on the tonsils. Best to see your doctor for an examination, possible culture, and treatment. | ||||||||
