Similarly heat and cold are called affective qualities, not because those things which admit them are affected. Whiteness and blackness, however, and the other colours, are not said to be affective qualities in this sense, but -because they themselves are the results of an affection. In like manner there are affective qualities and affections of the soul.
Also related to the tonsils is a condition called tonsilloliths, which is commonly called tonsil stones and they look like white spots on the back of the throat. Tonsil stones are actually white formations on your tonsils at the back of your throat. Tonsilloliths form when âdebrisâ like bacteria, mucus, food and dead skin cells get trapped in and around your tonsils. In time they calcify, causing them to look like small white spots on your tonsils.
You could find some important clues. You might see white dots or patches in the back of your throat. Your tonsils -- the bumps on either side at the back of your throat -- might be red and swollen, too. These could be signs of bacterial infection like strep throat or oral thrush, or a viral infection like oral herpes or mononucleosis.
