thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the white spot could be because of a fungal infection like candidiasis or bacterial infection (diptheria) or tonsillolith. the swollen glands what you are telling could be a enlarged regional lymphnode secondary to tonsillitis or infection of the tooth. consult your oral physician and get your wisdom tooth removed. and take a course of antibiotics and later take a opinion from the ENT surgeon. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
