most helpful answer as you know i have no way of seeing your throat taking a more detailed medical history or examining you over the internet. i can make a blind guess but a guess is not the same as a diagnostic opinion -- one that can only be accomplished by seeing a medical professional or ent specialist. you may want to look up "tonsilliths" (tonsil stones). these are common accumulations of food and other debris that can get trapped in or around the tonsillar areas. again don't diagnose yourself. see a medical professional for these matters. i cannot figure out how to reply on here so i am just going to post an answer to myself in hopes that you come back and check again. i had bloodwork done and they said that everything was fine. i did not diagnose myself with anything but i am fairly sure it is not tonsoliths because there are white spots on the back of my throat it looks like strep i am assuming but i had 3 tests done and all came back negative. i saw 2 ent's and i am seeing a third this coming monday. they all say tonsilitis but the er doctors said pharyngitis. i have been on 4 courses of antibiotics already however the thing is i smoke marijuana and i could not bring myself to quite while taking the antibiotics. having it for this long has caused me to quit the habit and i do not intend to go back because of the amount of work i had to put into just stopping for this very reason i don't want to go through that again. i don't know if smoking has caused a burn in the back of my throat and it itself may have got infected? because when i would smoke it would start to burn after awhile. again i have stopped and it has been 2 weeks to the day since i have quit. i started taking antibiotics again about 4 days ago. i do not see any sign of improvement could this be because i have built up a resistance to the antibiotics? i know this is not contagious because i have been by many people have gotten close enough to them where they would definitely catch it if it was contagious. does this help narrow anything down at all? just giving some other examples as to what this could be would just help put me at ease a little bit so i can stop wondering. thank you for taking the time to read all of this if you did.
i have white spots on the back of my throat for about 2 months now. my throat is not i repeat not sore. whats wrong? . i have had a throat infection which the doctors at the er diagnosed as pharyngitis. these white spots have been on the back of my throat for almost 2 months now and i am getting sick of them. my throat is not sore whatsoever. i have white spots on my tonsils as well. sometimes my tonsils i believe will get a little sharp pain but it goes away in seconds. the back of the sides of my throat look white and inflamed as well. i have been on 4 courses of antibiotics and none of them have worked.
