I have had white spots on my tonsils that come and go for about a year now. The first time I notcied them I went to the doctors and tested negative for mono/strep and and for oral stds gonorrhoea and chlamydia. They are still reoccurring - should I be worried?

Hello,

The white spots on the tonsils can be related to tonsil stones.

They can be the cause of recurrent tonsillitis.

I suggest consulting an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
