Had a very tiny white spot (only 1) on right tonsil for 3 days, idk if its food or tonsilitis. could it spread? how to tell the difference?

Symptoms: Tonsillitis is usually manifested by sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in neck and fever. 1 exudate (white spot) may or may not indicate tonsillitis. If you are better now it was probably viral and should resolve. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
