What Causes White Spots On The Tonsils?
Hi, i'm 20 yrs old and have a history of STD, i have HPV type 11 and just found out that my boyfriend gave me chlamydia. Yesterday i noticed that my tonsils are swollen and have white spots on them (see picture).. i dont have pain or anything, just when i swallow i can feel something i guess it's because they are swollen. Is this due to the Chlamydia (oral sex) or is it just a common tonsil infection due to a coming cold or something like that??
