thanks for your query, the white spot could be a candidal infection (fungi) since you are taking antibiotics...just complete the course of your antibiotics and observe..continue saline gargling.. i think you are consuming food properly because of the pain...that might be causing weakness and dizziness, try to eat properly, consume lot of water, drink juice, take soft diet...if it doesnot subside revisit your dentist...
thank you, take care..
