White spots can indicate strep throat, which would mean the antibiotic you were on was not effective, or the spots could just be areas and you could have thrush. Go back for a second trip to your doctor.

Jubilant, there's absolutely no question in my mind that you have Thrush. The doctor probably didn't swab it because it is a mild case. Gargling with salt water will help and, as your body readjusts after the antibiotics, it probably will go away. Before taking any more antibiotics, if it gets worse, be sure to have the doctor swab it and make a diagnosis.

Perhaps the OP should have just gone to you for a diagnosis. {#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

Isn't that the truth!!
