5. Strep Throat
Strep throat is another common cause of white spots on the tonsils. It is another very contagious disease and it mostly affects children, although people of all ages can catch it. It can occur at any time of year, but strep throat is more common in early spring and in winter.
Typical symptoms of strep throat also include a sore throat, a fever, swollen neck glands, a headache, and in more serious cases, a rash. It is a treatable condition and rarely causes serious problems but it can go on to cause complications if not treated. It can go on to develop into scarlet fever or rheumatic fever, so it is important to speak with a medical professional.
