Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have white patches on back side of mouth, tongue , uvula this can be due to smoking induced patch it can be Leukoplakia , Candidiasis , Nicotina palate , Leukoedema , Oral submucous fibrosis.
For this you should consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity , white patches and if neede go for Cytology of white patch. In meantime you can do warm saline rinses, You can apply ointment triamicilone acetonide paste on white patches , you can take Antioxidant , Vitamin A by consulting with your doctor.

Hope it will help you.
