Hello,
The white dots can be suggestive of a form of tonsillitis.
For that, you need to be given amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid tablet.
Salt water gargle with warm water can be done for tonsillitis.
Avoid excess fatty foods intake for a few days.
If no improvement than throat swab taken and send it for culture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
