My uvula is swollen along with my tonsils and both of them have white spots on them, the doctor i went to today blamed it on allergies...accurate?

Possible tonsillitis: If both your uvula and tonsils are swollen, along with a sore throat, you may be suffering from acute tonsillitis. Pay particular attention to the presence of fever, chills or worsening symptoms. If these symptoms are present for more than a few days then you should seek further medical evaluation
