White spots on tonsil

2017-05-07 03:03:30
I have two white spots in my tonsil. ENT said they might be tonsil stones but he wasn't sure. He told me to get a waterpik or cotton swab to try to get them out. When I do that the spot fades into my skin and disappears. But it comes back in a few minutes. Do tonsil stones do that? What could it be? Strep has been ruled out. My throat is sore though.
