Hi ,As per your clinical history it appears as you are having Acute follicular Tonsilitis.
In this condition , holes in tonsils get filled with pus like material presenting as white spots.
Start antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , Paracetemol + Ibuprofen combination , Vit C for 5 days & contine omnicef .
Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
