Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a white and yellowish circular patch at the back of my throat. I thought it could be due to a throat infection, and it has not healed. It is not hard or raised like a tonsil stone like an enclosed area of puss. I am concerned about its increase in size. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
The white, yellowish circular patch at the back of your throat can be due to oral candidiasis. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.
Kindly inform us if there was any previous history of fever, throat infection, neck swelling, ear discharge, or rhinitis. Consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medications with their consent.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
