Hello Dear
White spots on tonsils could be follicles due to infection.
Swollen and red tonsils with white spots suggestive of follicular tonsillitis.
Since I can't physically examine you to get more clues so I would advise you to consult a ENT surgeon for physical examination and further course of action
You should do warm saline gargles and multivitamin supplements with B complex and vitamin C
Hope this answers your question
Please feel free to ask fro follow up question, I will gladly answer you
Best wishes
