Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white dots on the tonsils which seems to be due to inflammation of tonsils. need not to worry. I would suggest you to :

- Do warm saline gargles.

- Take anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil can be taken to relieve pain.

- You should take throat lozenges.

- Avoid spicy an sharp food substances and cold beverages.

- Take soft diet.

Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should take antibiotic amoxicillin and antihistamine Levocetrizine for 3-4 days.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
