Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems possibly that you have Yeast infection in mouth and throat known as Thrush leading to white appearance and it can be due to the reasons that you might be advised Antibiotics post treatment along with painkillers as well as the body get weakened after medical conditions like any surgical procedure..
Antibiotics disrupt the normal bacterial flora of mouth along with harmful bacteria and lead to overgrowth of opportunistic organisms like fungus.

Feeling of something stuck in throat is also due to it..

Nothing to worry consult an Oral Physician or an ENT expert and get evaluated and treated accordingly..

In case of Thrush Nystatin mouthwash gargles, clotrimazole lozenges and intake of more of Probiotics like Yoghurt and Garlic can help..
Drink plenty of water and do warm saline gargles to soothe the throat..

Hope this information helps..
