Ok I know I’m on this site due to health anxiety but I’ve developed white spots on my tonsils and they are very swollen . The weird thing is they don’t hurt , logical me would think tonsillitis but any time I’ve had tonsillitis it has hurt to swallow and obviously I’m not logical anymore . I worry a lot about oral stuff as my grandpa had mouth cancer and to fuel the fire I’ve recently been at the dentist because I’ve been tasting blood a lot . The dentist said it was just plaque in gums and would clear in weeks . I’ve gargled salt water which doesn’t remove the patches. Any advice please ? 
When I've had strep before I've had white spots. If you take a qtip you might be able to wipe some out. It's probably just an infection and you need antibiotics.
Hi,
Nearly everyone gets white spots. Could be tonsillitis OR
Try this - either if you got a skilled tongue, or use a pop cycle...
press on the tonsil ...
1. Either that white spot will come out like a rock (that is caught food)
2. It will smell soooo bad or taste bad - if a rock doesn’t come out but you get the nasty taste or smell - it’s likely a rock but lodged in hard.
i had this when age 19... I dug with my tongue.. I was scared but dug and dug hard!
finally one day it broke and a piece came out. I the. Resorted to pop cycle.
ALL CLEAR!
Ps... you might get a sore throat in the process.
so I used to stick my tongue in listerine and massage the tonsil
My daughter had this, calm down it's harmless I cant remember the name but you can dig them out or just leave it and it should clear up in a few weeks. We went to the doctors and they said it happens some people get these. You can go get it checked but don't stress.
Thankyou all for the reply , I have had tonsil stones and I do know it’s not that . It looks like actual patched on the tonsils rather than bits hidden in the grooves . I’m more concerned because it doesn’t accompany pain . I have a slight ear ache though . I will continue garglin salt water and hopefully calm myself down . I appreciate the reply’s . Wish I wasn’t this anxious over common things
