What Could Be The Reason For Having A White Spot On My Tonsil?

My left tonsil is sore, but the pain is feels as if its coming from beneath the back of the left side of my tongue. I noticed a large white spot on my left tonsil and it is hard to swallow on that side.
I dont have temperature but am feeling very fatigued.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems like Bacterial throat infection and the white spot seems to be pus pocket secondary to infection..
You should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical examination of your throat and mouth and also do a rapid strep test to confirm the bacterial infection.
Once bacterial infection is confirmed he can advise you to take antibiotics like Levofloxacin or Cephelexin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles, chew vitamin C pellet daily,avoid spicy and chilled foods, drink plenty of water.
Do steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
Take ample of rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
