I'm really worried because I've had this small white spot on my left tonsil for about three months now, and it just won't go away even after taking antibiotics. There's no pain, but should I be concerned about it not disappearing? What could it be?

I'm having this strange issue where onions and garlic smell really bad and different to me, and it's making it pretty much impossible to eat anything that has them. It's not the usual onion or garlic scent, but something really off-putting and irritating. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I really want to figure it out and get better. Any ideas on what might be causing this, or how I can manage it?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
