White spots can sometimes mean that you have Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus infection, which can be deadly. It can be gotten rid of with simple antibiotics, usually taking about a week or two. But you need to bring this up to your doctor, Strep almost always causes serious problems, if not death.

No but I have a few tips to relieve your discomfort. 1. Gargle several times a day with peroxide directions are on the back 2. Run a hot steam vaporizer 24 hrs a day (Walmart $17.00) will help everybody in the house! 3. Take in a lot of vitamin C eat oranges or even extra vitamins 4. Hot chicken broth with minced garlic, garlic vitamins will do I guess (garlic fights infections as well as echinacea)) 5. Lysol spray and bleach the bathroom. 6. Wash your hands I mean a good scale would be once an hour. 7. DO NOT SMOKE (stop for a day or to) 8. Keep your head warm at night or when you sleep (toboggan) 9. Keep cotton in your ears 24 hrs a day for a few days (put Vick's salve on the cotton first feels soothing.) 10. Put Vick's salve on your chest & under your nose when you sleep. 11. Only clear liquids for a couple days broth, jello, juice etc. 12. Keep your throat warm with a wrap (scarf) of some kind, at home a hot rag on your throat in the recliner sound nice! 13. Don't go out with a wet head! I know all this sounds like a lot of trouble, but when your feeling sick it all really helps. I'll do about anything to feel better, I HATE BEING SICK!!!!!!!!!

Take 5 Oil of Oregano drops by mouth and follow them with a glass of water. It works miracles! It will kill viruses or bacteria.

Gargle with salt water as hot as you can stand it. If it’s not gone in 24 hours see a doctor.
