What Causes Swelling And White Spots On The Right Side Of The Tonsils?
Hi Dr Sumit, I am suffering since 25 days right tonsil was swollen. no pain, no red. only one tiny white spot dr gave me antibiotics did full course nothing help did blood test all normal exp little abnormal LFT. CMV and EBV shows past exposure never had tonsil issue in my life. now still same what is cause swollen tonsil.
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.. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
