A member asked:
Small white spot near tonsil...but not in crypt...for four months now, no other symptoms. any suggestions what it could be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsil white spot: This is most likely a tonsillar stone(not a real stone) formed by old left over debris in a tonsillar crypt. These ordinarily don't cause symptoms or require removal. To be sure your physician or Otolaryngologist would have to examine you and reassure you.
