Hello,
From the symptoms mentioned,i suspect the white spots on tonsils and reddish mucosa within mouth may be due to-herpetic infection.
Antiviral antibiotics has to be administered.
Avoid spicy foods.
Tobacco or pan chewing has to be avoided.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Vitamin b complex along with folic acid and iron supplements has to be administered.
I wish you good health.
