Patient replied :
Yes, I did have a fever and the White spots on my tonsils are definitely not food particles. It's just my fever has gone down and there is no pain in my throat, just mild pain scale of 3. All I have are runny/stuffy nose and plugged ears. The White spots are still there but will they eventually disappear?
Hello,
These white spots will defenitly settle with in a week.
Ithis is follicular tonsillitis so better to start a course of antibiotics
Amoxicillin 500 mg two times
Tab. Levocetrizine 5 mg one in night
Tab. Paracetamol 1000 mg as and when required.
Betadine garggle two times
Hope this helps
