I do not have a fever or anything, but my throat is full of white spots an swollen, and it hurts a lot! any ideas why?

Sounds like tonsils: The description you are giving is consistent with acute tonsillitis, or an infection of the tonsils. Get a tonsil culture and wait for specific results and appropriate treatment.
