What Causes White Spots On Throat?

Hi, I've had white spots on my throat like four times before. Twice from strep throat. And the other times, it happened right after oral sex. Recently, I gave oral sex to a guy and woke up with a sore throat and some white spots on my throat. What do you think the cause is of them is and why does it keep happening?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that the white spots are due to throat infection leading to Follicular Tonsillitis and white spots are pus pockets secondary to bacterial infection in throat..
As it happened after oral seex then also it is due to infection only due to improper maintenance of genital hygiene..
You should take a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gurgles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room...
You can suck throat lozenges..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
In case of no resolution consult an Otolaryngology and get evaluated and he can also advise you investigations like throat swab culture, Immunoglobulin G levels, blood tests etc to rule out the exact cause of pain and treat you accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
