Hello
I was at the GP today- incredibly painful sore throat, huge pus filled spots. Tonsils taken out over 30 years ago. GP said something about abscess or ulcer, that would heal itself in a week, but I didn't catch what he said. Like an idiot, I have googled it and all websites seem to say that pus filled abscesses need antibiotics and, potentially, to be drained.
Does anyone have any experience of throat abscesses or ulcers, self healing? Should be asleep, but too sore, so feeling sorry for myself.
Thank you
