Tonsillar exudate refers to the presence of a thick, often yellow or white fluid on the surface of the tonsils, which can indicate inflammation or infection. It is commonly associated with conditions such as tonsillitis or strep throat. The exudate is composed of pus, dead cells, and bacteria, and its presence can help healthcare providers diagnose the underlying cause of throat discomfort. Symptoms may include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and swollen lymph nodes.
