im not a doctor so dont take my word as gold but i get these little white spots on my tonsils too they irritate me like crazy one evening i had enough so i took a flash light and went into the bathroom and took my fingernail and poked at it and it popped out of the tonsil. and it stopped bothering me. i still get them a lot but i just go in there and get it out i think its like the first answer on here like a calcification.
i have a white spot about the size of a large grain of rice in the back of my throat on my tonsil of the left side. its a small white spot but it is very easy to see upon emamination. i have just gotten over a cold that did start with a very sore throat but that was about a a week ago now. there is only a spot on one side of my throat. i'm worried its some kind of infection. i can touch the area with my tonge and it is much warmer on that side of my throat than the other side. it is mildly irrated.
