What Causes Swollen Tonsils With White Spots?
I need to know what i have. My tonsils started to be sore about a month ago, and one day i decided to check them out and i found white spots on them and they were swollen. I loaded my body up with vitamin c for 1 week and everything seemed to go away. Now my tonsils are swollen again and deformed shaped, with white spots and my tonsils have indentions in them....

Hi, thanks for your query. In my opinion, you might be having follicular tonsillitis.
White spot over the tonsil are nothing but follicles.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines for 5 to 7 days.
Betadine mouth gargling also can help you.
Thanks.
