White spot on my tonsil with a sore throat?My gf spotted a white spot on my right tonsil. Its also the side of the throat that hurts. Its pretty sore when I talk or swallow. What could it be? Should I have someone pick the white spot off?

it's probably an infection starting. you can't pick it off. you need antibiotics.

maybe tonsillitis. you should go to the Dr and get it looked at.

more than likely strep but there are times that the spots are not associated with strep. Gargle salt water... if it makes it go away... it was not strep.

White spots on the throat are generally a very good indication of a strep infection.
This can be a serious medical condition since if left untreated the strep virus can be highly contagious and will spread well beyond the throat into the heart.
You should seek professional medical advise immediately.

There is a possibility you have strep throat and need antibiotics but it could also be crypts on your tonsils and they could be getting infected. You need to see an ENT (ear nose and throat) doctor immediately. Your general doctor could see you but he may just send you to the ENT anyway.
Please do not play around with this and put off the doctor. There can be serious complication from strep infections that can even cause heart damage.
Best of luck and I hope everything is good.
One who cares
Your tonsils are suppose to help fight infections from the nose and sinus I think. When I was a kid they were removed when one was about six because the medical establishment thought they were a useless part of the anatomy. I've hear of it being done under very primitive conditions such as on the kitchen table with a sharp knife with no anesthesia. Since antibiotics they cure the infection instead and most people never have them removed. You need to see a doctor to find out where the infection is coming from and what needs to be done. Don't have you gf pick the spot off since it is might cause further problems. SEE THE DOCTOR.
