Hello & welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.

Your clinical history is suggestive of chronic tonsillitis .

White spot in tonsil is due infected cheesy material inside hole in tonsil . This infected material gives repeated tonsillitis.

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice you
Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily & Plenty of fluids .

Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
Regards.
