White spots in throat?
I've had a sore throat for several days now and this evening I've only just noticed I have a few white spots at the top/back of my throat. A quick google points to tonsilitus but I had my tonsils out 27 years ago.
Anyone have any ideas what it might be?

Could be tonsil stones?

Take a trip to your GPs office, or ask your local pharmacist :/

I would definitely put my money on oral thrush also, I know it sounds icky but its no big deal, babies are also susceptible too this strain of thrush. You ll need to see your GP for a course of antibiotics, if it turns out not to be thrush though at least you'll be in the right place. All the best Russ

Re: White spots in throat?
No idea what it could be but gargle luke warm water with salt in it, works wonders.

Antibiotics won't cure thrush, its a fungus. They are known to cause it in some instances 
Mouthwash like crazy after meals and it should start to get better. If not then see the doctor or pharmacist.

Re: White spots in throat?
If it's really bad, have you got an out of hours GP service that would see you? Try ringing your normal GP number and the answerphone should give you the details.
When my daughter had this it turned out to be glandular fever - hope that's not the case.
