I had a tonsil biopsy on Monday, 12th I’m in moderate pain and keep on top of it with paracetamol and ibuprofen as prescribed I’ve noticed this morning a white / yellow covering do I need to go back to the doctors/ hospital due to my infection or is this normal?

  • Hi JRamsey54, 

    I'm glad to hear that you've been able to manage things since your biopsy on Monday. 

    It's impossible for us to say what this covering may be but if you are concerned then do get in touch with your GP or the hospital and ask for some advice. They will be best placed to deal with things if you need to be seen by a Dr. 

    I hope things settle soon. 

    Best wishes,
