Answer 2

Puss pocket?

Do you mean you're tonsel is swollen and yellow. Yes, that's bad.

It feels like a rock in your throught, too, so it hurts.

Go see you doc ASAP, so he can give you some antibiotics before it spreads. It's most likely strep, but I can't see it myself, so I can't tell for sure, but it's most likely strep. A swollen yellow tonself is one of the first signs... i hate strep.

Answer 3

It could be strep. Or it could be an infection of the tonsil.  Do you have a sore throat, headache or fever???  These can all be signs of strep.  Keep an eye on it and if you start to develope any of the above symptoms you should see a doctor and get it tested.  Strep throat is easily treated with antibotics in the early stages. If not treated it can turn into rheumatic fever.  This is a serious condition and can cause permanent heart damage.

Take care!!
