Tonsillitis: I was going to say to watch and wait. But the spots on your tonsils worry me enough that i think you should be seen when your clinic next opens.

Spots on tonsils: Spots on tonsils are called an "exudate." exudates are common in many throat infections and have no specific importance in diagnosis. Persistent fever, trouble swallowing and/or pain determine need to be examined. The more intense or longer these persist, the more one needs to see the doctor.
