Does bleeding from a pus-filled tonsil mean it's almost healed?
Disease description:
Recently, my child had tonsillitis, and over the past few days, it seems the pus has drained. Does bleeding from the tonsils after a pus discharge mean recovery is near?

Purulent tonsillitis with bleeding is not a sign of recovery; rather, it indicates that the condition is progressing. Purulent tonsillitis typically presents with high fever, sore throat, and enlarged tonsils. Tonsillitis is a common condition, usually caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus or hemolytic streptococcus, and requires prompt treatment.
