Why do i have white spots on my tonsils after i had a sore throat?Yesterday my throat was pretty sore, and today it is also, but earlier i was checking out my teeth and realized that in the back of my mouth on my tonsils there are white spots that look like they are filling cracks in my tonsils. I still have a sore throat, and i have looked this up online and some say it may be strep throat and some say it may be tonsillitis. I am not sure what it is because in my 14 years of life, i have never seen anything like this until today. Can anyone help me?
Actually, to add to this, i did go to the doctor, its some kind of pharengitus. ive only had if for about a week and the white spots have disappeared. Thank you for all your help!

they are pockets of puss. which indicate infection. most likely strep. you need to go to the doc for medication.

that's a symptom of strep throat. you should go to a doctor.

More then likely its Strep throat. Seek medical advice for further information.

I have had the same thing many times in the past. I get tonsillitis or strep throat every year. The white pockets are puss. It typically suggests infection. When you go to the doc he/she will use a large cotton swab and take a culture of your tonsils. This does not hurt just makes you gag a bit.They can do a instant strep test. There is also a strep test they send off to lab.You may try gargling with salt water.( Salt diluted with warm water.) Hope this helps! Hope you feel better soon.

The internet is right. Right spots on your tonsils means that your tonsils are infecting. This could be a virus or a bacterial infection. To fix this, you need to go to your doctor. Do you have any other signs of illness? Your doctor will do a culture and test to see if the strep bacteria is there. She or he will be able to tell from the rest of your symptoms and medical history if it's Strep or Tonsillitis. If its a bacterial infection, they'll give you antibiotics and you'll be better soon, but sadly, if its a virus, you have to tough it out and let it finish it's course on its own because there are not medicines for viruses. Good luck

I actually went to the emergency room yesterday because of this right here. I have had this same thing all my life. I cough and these gross smelling rotten looking pellets come off my tonsils. Well mine has just become badly infected and I now also have a chronic cough and chronic pharyngitis. I am going to a specialist on Monday. The doctor told me I basically have two choices. I can have them taken out or live with the pain and get everyone around me sick. Because of this my tonsils carry many bacteria causing viruses and infections. This is also why my husband has been staying so sick lately we were told as well. So I most likely will be having them removed. I suggest you see a doctor because the reading I have been doing suggest that they can cause other problems such as throat cancer.
