Hi..Can understand your concern..As per your query about recurrent sore throat and having white patch can be a infection (bacterial viral or fungal) or tonsillitis and needs to be examined by a ENT or an oral surgeon.A biopsy of the lesion is needed to know the origin of infection.Till the time you need to warm saline rinses or betadiene gargles along with analgesic like paracetamol if it is hurting more.Avoid chilly and spices in food.Quit any smoking or drinking habits if present.You should take multivitamin supplements for few months.I hope the information helps you. You are welcome to have any further query.Take care.
