Swollen tonsils/black dot in mouth

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

One of my tonsils is swollen, I woke up feeling like there was something in my mouth. After checking out the tonsil I found white spots on top of the tonsil. I also found a black dot on the other side of my mouth that is behind my teeth so I could not have bit it. I have a picture if that would help

From your description it sounds like you might have a throat infection or pharyngitis which causes tonsillitis too. Please show your family doctor who will prescribe medicines for the same. As regards the black dot , you need to share a picture to come to a conclusion regarding the same. Meanwhile do warm salt water gargles for temporary relief from throat ache.
