HI,
with the above complaints it is Acute follicular tosillitis... in simple terms the bacterial infection of tonsils.. the white spots on the tonsils you are seeing are pus pointing... since you are already started on antibiotics nothing to worry.. hope you are also taking some analgesics if not take paracetamol 500mg three times a day or whenever required....
wish u a speedy recovery....
