That combined with the post nasal dripping makes it difficult to swallow. The white
mucus (moon like) discharge on your
tonsils is your bodies way of fighting the infection.
If this continues I would see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. I kept getting strep and ignored the infection until it was so sever I had to have a tonsillectomy. It is painful for an adult to go through but I've never had a sore throat or post nasal drip since!
