###Human: Kindly tell me about the white areas in the tonsils. ###Assistant: Hi. They are pus or keratotic patches (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If pus, then it should be painful. Most likely keratotic patches over the tonsil. Can you take pictures where both tonsils can be visualized? Do you have such spots on the other tonsil as well? Do you have any difficulty in swallowing? Is one tonsil larger than the other? What chronic illness do you have, if at all you do? Are you on any kind of steroids or immunosuppressant medications?
