hello dear
thanks for query at HCM.
Swollen tonsil with white spot indicate that it might be due to infection.
There are many organisms that can cause infection other than strep.
My recommendation would be
1 take plenty of water.
2 do salt water gargling thrice daily
3 if there is fever take tab paracetamol thrice daily.
any other symptoms consult doctor further investigation and management.
