Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a small white spot on the tonsil with swelling can be due to tonsil stone formation also known as Tonsillolith..
It can cause swelling and inflammation of tonsil..
I would suggest you to consult an ENT expert and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation has to be done..
In case if it is a tonsil stone it will be removed using fine tweezers..
Also gargling with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water and avoiding intake of dairy can help in reducing the recurrence..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
