What Do White Spots On The Tonsils Indicate?

Hello! My 3 year old son was sick with the Flu all last week and ended with mucus in both eyes (conjunctivitis). We are treating him with eye drops, which started helping right away. It has been 3 days since we started them. But today I noticed he has small white spots on both tonsils. Do I need to take him back to urgent care? He is getting better overall, no fever and anything. Should I wait it out a couple days and check his throat again?
