White blister on tonsil?

Hi, I was wondering what this could be. I do have Oral HSV1 but I don't believe HSV1 looks like this but I could be wrong. Could it be tonsillitis? It's not sore or anything. Any help would be great.

Yes it can be normal if you have no other symptoms.

Hi, it looks like a pus spot. If it is just one and your throat doesn't hurt, no fever and your throat doesn't look red I wouldn't worry about it. It will probably go away. You can gargle with warm salt water. One teaspoon or a half teaspoon in a cup of warm water and gargle a few times a day. It should clear up. If you get a high fever or you get a lot of pain in the throat then you should see your doctor.  A lot of times we fight things off with our immune system (white blood cells are one of many things) and it goes away.
