Q. What could be the white spot on my tonsil?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• In a tonsil, there are many crypts. Those white spots are food particles that get trapped inside the crypts and are usually foul smelling.

• I suggest you take painkillers and use Betadine (Povidone-iodine) gargle, four times a day. If there is no relief, take a course of antibiotics like tablet Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 625 mg, thrice a day for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicines with their consent.

• Avoid cold, spicy and oily foods. Maintain good oral hygiene.

• In case the problem increases, consult a local ENT doctor.

Thanks.
