What Causes The Tonsil To Turn White?

Hi, my tonsil on the one side has white on it, quite a lot of it and it's been there all day and I've been feeling really rotten with fever. I often get this after being ill and last week I had a bit of a stomach bug so i think that's why I have this now. I don't know if it's actually tonsilitus, but i think it's because my tonsils were fighting an infection. My glands are also swollen on that side of my neck. I didn't go to work today, need to go in tomorrow, what's the best way to get rid of the white stuff and is it contagious to other people because i work closely with children at a school. thanks.
