What causes white spots on tonsils?

Tonsils are the most delicate parts of your respiratory and digestive systems. Swollen tonsils with white spots can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. In acute cases, it may result in prolonged fever. Though white spots on tonsils may occur to people of any age, children are more prone to get affected because of their suppressed immune systems.

In order to better understand the causes of tonsils with white spots, you need to know more about the tonsils present in your throat. On the surface of your tonsils, there are tiny pockets referred to as tonsil crypts. These tonsil crypts are made of very soft tissues. The saliva in your mouth is constantly mixed with the tonsil crypts.While eating, the digestive enzymes in the saliva break the carbohydrates present in the food. The broken carbohydrate, mucus, food particles and bacteria combine up and get trapped in the crypts. Initially, this trapped material appears as small patches on tonsils. Gradually, this material gets hardened and results in swollen tonsils with white spots. The white spots are more commonly referred to as tonsil stones.
The best thing to avoid occurrence of white spots on your tonsils is to gargle after every meal so that the deposition does not take place.
