Hi, I noticed that there are small white spots to the back of my throat for the past two days... I have no fever or any other symtoms, howver I am an acid reflux patient with a history of acid raising to my my throat causing lost of voice or sore throat..

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The white spots over the throat can be because of the fungal infections like candidiasis or it can be a psudomembrane. Nothing to be panic, you can consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole. Do saline gargling.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
