Hi,

Thanks for your query.

White patches in the throat are seen in many conditions like Streptococcal infections, Mononucleosis, Thrush , Actinomycosis etc.

In you since there is no fever I would consider Mononucleosis and thrush to be the suspects. Also such lesions are seen in nutritional deficiency of Vitamins.A detailed examination of the throat and a culture test would be needed to find out the exact diagnosis.

I suggest you to consult a ENT specialist who after examining you could advice you specifically.

Meanwhile do gargle with antiseptic solution like CHLORHEXIDINE twice daily after food. This will prevent the condition to progress if it is due to an infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
