Suggest Remedy For White Spots On The Back Of The Throat
Hi! I have white spots in the back of my throat and near where my tonsils are although I can t see my tonsils now. Also my tongue has white patches on it and kinda feels numb it doesn t hurt at all. I do smoke cigarettes don t know if that has anything to do with it but I ve also have had a sinus infection for about 2 weeks now. What do you think it could be?

Hello
There can be many reasons for the white spots , the most likely of which would be a bacterial infection or candida (fungal ) infection. Please dont ignore this and meet your doctor for examination and further treatment.Meanwhile you can start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day.
