Hi.
The white spot on the side of your throat could be either a tonsillolith or follicular tonsillitis/pharyngitis. The severe pain suggests infection which would require appropriate antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines along with anti-septic gargles. However, a detailed history and examination is required to help you further.
I recommend that you consult an ENT specialist online/In-person for further evaluation.
Warm regards, Dr. Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
