Levaquin is a stronger antibiotic. It has all the usual side affects. You are more likely to get a yeast infection from this one because it is much stronger. Is the white on your tonsils blisters or is it debris? If it is debris then you could have craters in your tonsils that are catching food in them and trapping it there. If this is the case, then the condition will only continue to worsen. You will start to taste the drainage and when you clean the craters out it will stink and taste bad. You will have to get the tonsils removed to fix this problem if it is in fact craters in them. People get the craters from having a strong history of infections in them.

Hi, as a teen I had a lot of tonsilitis and this caused my tonsils to be full of craters. For over years, I have been having these white digusting spots in my tonsils and they come out and they smell horrible. I keep having them since forever even if I am not sick. Check if your tonsils are full of craters. If not, go and see a doctor. There is nothing you can do about these vile white things as they seem to be food trapped in your tonsils. You can remove your tonsils though and this will sort out the problem. I keep checking my tonsils daily to see if I have more white things and I remove them with my fingers. They really are awful.
