Few days ago I had symtoms resembling sore
throat - pain when swallowing on the left
side - but wheh I saw my throat I noticed
that besides being too red there is a
single white spot there. The spot is not
even in the throat but on the left side of
the arch surroinding the tongue and the
throat. It's not a lump but just a spot
and it is still there. When swallowing I
feel a slight irritation at the back of
tongue too - at the area where the spot
is. I have no other symptoms like fever or
cold.
Any explanation?
thanks in advance

Hi - I noticed this was posted quite a
while ago, and you've hopefully recovered
by now.
What you describe sounds like Strep
Throat: white, wet spots or lumps on the
back of the throat and uvula, that pop or
run when you yawn or touch them?. Usually
it clears itself in a few days, or with
the help of an over-the-counter strep
medication. In severe cases, some doctors
will recommend a short course of
antibiotics, in case the infection spreads
to the adenoids or tonsils.

I too have this,,about every 2-3
months,,It is one spot,,I take a platic
skewer and remove it,,Same place as you
said,, it is gross but it smell pretty
bad. A doctor said it was a pearl. I am
now trying to find out more info. Some
times it will dis lodge during activity
and I spit it out ,,its small like a bb.
This last time it was way bigger. It is
not puss from infection(I think). Its
alway in the same spot.
