If you suspect a medical problem and you have health insurance, why hesitate going to a doctor? :P

well just relax, get more sleep, read books just totally calm urself down :)
It could be school or work or relationship or lack of sleep and also make sure your health is good (your probably fine)

eh, dunno...is it big and is there only one? Could be some sort of infection or tonsilitis, but you say it's not sore? oh...get it checked out quickly!

the best answer is to ask your doctor if it doesnt go away after about 2 weeks and if you develope fever then you should definitly see a doctor as soon as you can

Its gross but sometimes you can get food stuck in the pockets in your throat and it can do that. You could also still have something causing a sore like you mentioned.

sounds like tonsil stones. look the up on wikipedia and google image search and see if its the same thing (the white spots). the sore throat could be anything.

Some people notice that they have small white hard lumps in the back of the throat in the tonsil region. The lumps range in size from quite tiny to pea size and they tend to remain lodged in the tonsillar area for some time, until they eventually become dislodged. They are often associated with a bad smell coming from the tonsil area, and may create the physical sensation of having something lodged in the back of the throat.
Tonsiloliths are accumulations of dead skin cells and other cellular and noncellular debris that wash down the back of the throat from the sinuses and nasal cavities. People who suffer from post nasal drip often have tonsiloliths because they have a regular flow of mucus and sinus drainage past the tonsils. The little stones occur in the tonsillar crypts because this is one place where material can become lodged. Because they contain abundant protein, they provide a fertile place for bacteria to flourish, particularly the anaerobic bacteria that live on the back of the tongue and in other airless places in the mouth. The growth and metabolism of these bacteria produce bad breath from tonsils - halitosis.
Tonsiloliths, sometimes also referred to as tonsil stones, can be very difficult to get rid of. Though the individual stones eventually become dislodged and get swallowed, more will soon begin to form. Individuals who have had their tonsils removed usually do not suffer from tonsiloliths, but tonsillectomy is not a recommended treatment for the problem: remedies are best directed at the bad breath from tonsils as this is the most troublesome symptom.
