Can Addiction To Pain Killers Cause White Spots At The Back Of The Throat?
Hello, It would be of great help if you can send me a picture of your throat where the white spot is located. From what you are reporting, it might be bacterial infection of the throat (tonsillitis). You should see ENT specialist for further evaluation. Throat swab culture and sensitivity testing is highly recommended to determine the right causative agent. Wish fast recovery.
