A member asked:
White spot on tonsil after cold. white spot has been there for 2 weeks, no pain, no fever, not spreading. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: White spots on tonsils without pain or fever usually are debris in the deep crypts in tonsils or hardened secretions called tonsilliths made when secretions dry up and harden. Neither are harmful. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
