What Causes Throat Ache And White Spots In The Throat?
My 11 year old son is having some pain in his throat. I looked and there are white things over on the left side. Took him to doctor but not very happy. She told me it was food in there. He had not had anything to eat. Please help do I take him to another doctor?

Hi,
The pain in left side of throat could be due to acute tonsillitis problem. He can be prescribed an antibiotic course for that.
Salt water gargle with lukewarm water is beneficial in such case. Drink lots of water. Avoid the intake of excess spicy foods.
It's advisable to take vitamin C 500 mg BD for five days. Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily.
If no improvement than otorhinolaryngologist should be consulted for a detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
