I have white patches on my tonsils but they do not hurting. my breath smells bad and my throat has hot breath. white patches are really uncomfortable?

Get checked: bad breath could be due to periodontal disease, a gram negative anaerobic rod bacterial infection of the gums and bone, or it could be due to infection of the tonsils or even from a GI issue. Have a dentist check your gums and bone and have an ENT check your throat and tonsils.
