What Causes White Patch On The Throat?
ive been having an irritating feeling in my mouth since yesterday. i felt something unusual touching on my toungue toward the throat. when checking with a mirror, i noticed a small white circled patch on the back of my throat. is it something to worry about?

hello and welcome to health care magic,
Any patch however benign looking should be investigated further and you must also do the same
get an ENT consult and if required you can do a simple biopsy to get a proper diagnosis and put your mind in rest
By my experience of millions of patches, most of them are safe and benign anyway but it pays to be safe
