Is A White Spot On The Tonsil An Infection?
I had a white spot on my tonsil (right side) which I was scared was turning into strep throat. I gargled with warm water and salt yesterday and it was still there today. I gargled again, and the white spot ended up detaching from my tonsil. I was just wondering what this was and if I should go to a doctor to get checked for an infection?
