What Could Cause Swollen, Sore Tonsils With White Spots?

For a few yrs now I ve noticed I have inverted tonsils and for the last few months they have been swollen, red and really soar when I wake up in the morning, which last most of the day sometimes. I did notice white spots yrs ago when I had what I believe was tonsillitis which I never had treated due to no insurance. Recently, my doctor said they were no big deal. but they are getting worse and they do hurt. should I get a second opinion? some of my research says this might be dangerous if untreated???
