White spots on the tonsils and in the mouth can be caused by many different conditions. They include tonsillitis (an infection of the tonsils), thrush (a fungal infection caused by an excess amount of yeast), a sore throat (strep infection) and mononucleosis (a viral infection).
If your symptoms continue or become painful, and/or you develop a fever, you should see your healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and to get medications if necessary.
Hope that helps and that you will let us know what you learn if you end up seeing your doctor.
