Hi, he seems to be having an infection of tonsil and tonsillar infection can be transmitted with kissing but presentation the very next day after kissing is unlikely as there is some incubation period before the manifestation. Also there should be acute symptoms of throat infection. If you have those white areas with out any acute symptoms, these must be debris collection in tonsillar crypts which is usually a harmless thing. Use antiseptic mouth wash and the frequency of tonsillar collections decreases. Regards
