White mark on tonsil help.

Oral and dental care

Hi.

I do get sore throat from time to time like when I have a cold or from shouting or coughing ,but it normally ease of during the day and I never normal look at my throat when it is sore so don't no what it looks look when it is. Yesterday it started being sore not to bad I say mild and I thought I had something lodge as it felt like it so I looked in mirror and noticed my tonsils are a little red and on the one side there is one white mark and no more, not to big you have to really look and go in very bright light to see it. I have been sneezing more the last few days and my nose seem bit stuffy and I had a tickley cough the night before the sore throat started and still got a little cough but not really bad. I can still eat and drink, doesn't effect that and I have no fever etc... I have looked online and gone from having general sore throat to tonsillitis , to oral trush and cancer which obviously panic me. I haven't been drinking much, so I increased my water intake and started taking Ibuprofen and Strepsils lozenges and garled salt water this morning . Can anyone help as I'm bit of a hypercondriac and always think that the things I see or read I have got. It's hard to get into my doctors

I got picture but not sure how to put it on though.

Sore throat usually looks like white and like redness on the back of your throat, all of your area there. Also, swallowing would be discomfortable or maybe even painful at some point.

White spots can also come from GERD in case the acid is going up your throat and burning your skin.

OR it could all be nothing really important, wait a bit and if it persists for more than 3 days, go check a doctor. Most importantly, do not worry about it much it will lead to panic attacks and anxiety.

Thank you Johndiggle, I will so, few of my friends said it's mostly likley to be just a general sore throat or maybe a slight touch of tonsillitis and that it normally go on its own with home remedies and over counter items. I will try and not to worry as the soreness is not to bad and I can still eat and solllow etc. But I see how it goes .

Yeah, don't worry about it much. I know that honey is good for sore throat mix it with something hot maybe a tea or something. Also tea with a bit of alcohol seems to be effective sometimes.

Maybe even rinse your mouth with listerine and bursh your teeth?

Hopefully i was able to help.
