What Do White And Black Spots On Tonsils Indicate?

About three maybe four months ago i had a tonsil inflamation wich i was treated for.At the time i coudlnt breathe properly,i couldnt swallow at all and chips of the skin in my throat would chip off and i would breathe it in or spit it out.I wouldnt talk at all.But now its been a couple of months and i notice that my tonsils have diminished in size but are still big.My right one is bigger than the other its about the size of a grape even bigger.When i look in my mouth my left one has a white spot on it and the right one has a black spot on it.I have taken the pennycilin treatment and anti-fungal treatment as well.What is your opinion on what this could be?I am lightly alarmed and would like some clarification.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi
If you are getting repeated infections in tonsils , then its advised to do tonsillectomy.
Now along with antibiotics do betadine gargling, take hot water...
tonsils contains many crypts in which largest one is called as crytamagna. any tiny food particles stuck in cryptamagna will get infected and cause pain in throat and to use white and black spots are seen depending upon the food particles.
wish you a speedy recovery
Thank you.
