I've noticed this white spot on my left tonsil for the past couple of days. There's no pain, no swelling, no sore throat or fever, and I've never had any issues with my tonsils before. This is the first time seeing something like this, and I'm a bit concerned. Could you help me understand what it might be?

I'm having some dizziness when I turn in bed, especially on the left side, and I read something about BPPV that sounds a lot like what I'm experiencing. It's making me feel really nauseous too.

Question

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be slightly off-center, leaning a tiny bit to the right when I say "aah." I don't really have any other symptoms, but I'm curious if this slight deviation is considered normal. Should I be worried about it?
