Is one or two white spots on my tonsils that come and go prob crypts/tonsil stones? is thrush usually more spots and spread out?

Tonsilliths : What is recurring on the tonsils are tonsilliths. They occur when food gets stuck in a cyprus and then it gets broken down then it hardens which cause it to get very stinky. Thrush is white patches on the mucosa that have red spots under them when they are wiped with a tongue blade for us it is very characteristic. You need not worry about that. Good luck. Feel better!
