White Spots On Throat For 45+ Days Posted: 11-11-04 03:08am
Hello and thanks for reading this... It
may sound stupid but i've had white spots
on the left side of my throat (sort of in
a cavity) that keep going away (although
never fully) then just come back to bigger
white blobs (if you will.) this has been
happening for over 45 days, first time I
saw the doctor he didn't take any tests
and prescribed me 10 days worth of
amoxicillin. After completing the ten
days and no improvement I decided to go
back. He looked at it for two seconds and
said oh thats food, well it's not. I told
him and he took another look and did a
throat culture for strep and some blood
tests for mono. Both came back negitive
(i had to call him the week after to find
out.) it's about 3 weeks since then, not
really sure what to do. Should I see
another doctor? Should I go back to him
since he knows what has happend thus far?
Should I not worry about it? Anyone got
any ideas on what the heck this could be?
The weird thing is it doesn't seem to
really hurt, sometimes it feels like sand
paper and most of the time I can't really
feel it (or i've gotton use to it) - any
ideas?

I have the same issue, but I'd say it's
more of a growth back there. I pulled it
out of my throat. Now I have a small hole
where the white chunk once existed. Also,
I can see more of the white substance
still deep in the hole. whenever I talk to
my Dr, they just say you must have got a
chip or a taco rammed in there. First of
all the piece that I pulled out of my
throat is very compact and looks nothing
like food debris, and I stopped eating
chips, tacos and anything else that could
pierce my throat. I still get these at
what seems to be random... any ideas of
what it is?

Is you throat sore? If so, get it looked
at. White spots could represent Strep
Throat. Antibiotics are need for that.

My throat is sore up until the point when
I removed the growth. After that,
everything seems normal... no soreness at
all

If we are talking about your throat - well
that sounds serious. If we're talking
about your TONSILS, I have had what you're
describing in both of my tonsils since i
was in grade school. My tonsils look
completely ravaged and cratered. I used
to get white chunks in there but now
they're totally "dry". A pediatrician
once told me it's just an unusual immune
response. We asked if we should have them
removed (my tonsils) and he said NO, that
my tonsils were actually fighting
infection and I should let them. Truly,
it seems I've had far fewer cases of strep
that my friends... These cavity things
are WEIRD for sure, but they've never been
a problem for me and are possible helping
me fight off infection.
Hope this helps.

What would we do without google? Posted: 07-29-08 10:00am
Google "Tonsilloliths". I should have
looked this up ages ago...
