The "drainage" from infected tonsils can cause small ulcers in your mouth. It won’t clear up until the source of the infection is removed.
There are 2 types of tonsillitis. One is a viral infection, and the other is bacterial. A bacterial infection can cause what appears to be ulcerations.
The treatment ranges from medication, which often can clear up the infection in a 2 week period, to surgical removal of the tonsils. If it becomes a chronic problem, that would be the likely outcome.
Just follow your doctor’s advice.
