Has your doctor done any tests to find the cause. You may have mononeucliosis. It is also called glandular fever caused by a virus and causes white blood cells to increase beyond the normal number. There will be enlarged lymph nodes in the throat and a sore throat. This is also very contagious. Please have some tests run.

If you mean the "Uvula"....The uvula, is a muscular flap of tissue that hangs down from the back of the mouth from from your soft palate. The soft palate is part of what separates the mouth (oral cavity) from the nose and the back of the throat (nasopharynx). The main purpose of the uvula is to close of the nasopharynx when you are swallowing or speaking. As far as I know it serves no other purpose.

It could be lots of different things. Such as strep throat, gonorehha, thrush. I would definatly go to the Dr. Whenever you see white on your throat, that means infection. The only way to get rid of it is to take antibiotics. A Dr. would probably give you pennisilin(however you spell it) well, he would not give that to me because I am allergic to it. But it's probably strep throat unless you have had oral sex lately. I've had strep many times, it's painful, and WILL NOT clear on its own. It only gets worse.

Leukoplakia is a white or gray patch that develops on the tongue or the inside of the cheek. It is the mouth's reaction to chronic irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth. Leukoplakia patches can also develop on the female genital area; however, the cause of this is unknown.\n\nThe growth can occur at any time in your life, but it is most common in the elderly.\n\n"Hairy" leukoplakia of the mouth is an unusual form of leukoplakia that is seen only in people who are infected with HIV, have AIDS, or AIDS-related complex. It consists of fuzzy, hence the name "hairy," white patches on the tongue and less frequently elsewhere in the mouth. It may resemble thrush, an infection caused by the fungus Candida which, in adults, usually occurs if your immune system is not working properly, and may be one of the first signs of infection with the HIV virus.

They are called crypts, or more commonly throat stones. They look like cottage cheese chunks that you cough up every now and then, but when it does come up, it has a very very bad odor. It normally grows/lodges itself in the folds of your tonsils. I still don't know the true origin of these crypts, but I know of a few people who have them. I myself suffer from this from time to time, and the only thing I know to combat this is to keep your throat moist. According to my research online, drinking your fluids throughout the day, washing down your meal with a favorite drink, or just keeping your throat hydrated should do the trick. There is more information at the site below. You can also do a search for "crypts" or "throat stones"

small, sometimes raised white patches of skin are called sunspots and occur due to a buildup of naturally occurring yeast on your skin...by going to a dermatologist they can be cured by taking 4 pills..your best bet is to go to the doctor! NEVER guess when it comes to your health!

If they are white then they are white spots(seriously thats what they are called)which are blocked pores. Exfoliate a couple of times a week,but don't do it too hard cos it'll make your skin sore.

Its actually food particles. My daughter has had them like that because she had a lot of tonsilitis when she was young and it pits your tonsils so that small bits of food can get lodged. Its like a plaque would be on your teeth, so thats why its smelly. You might also have post nasal drip which is what makes hers really bad. Her Doc suggested gargling with listerine 2 times a day (not any other mouthwash, must be Listerine)and drinking more with meals. It helped her a lot. It only flares up occasionally now. It will take about 3 days or so to tart lessening then should be mostly gone in 2 weeks, provided you stick with the routine. She also took a decongestant with her routine, but you would want to talk to a doctor about your need for that.

Your tonsils are the two round things that you can see, where your mouth meets your throat.  For your reference, the piece that hangs between them is called a uvula.  Often, an infection of the tonsils can be detected visibly, if you use a flashlight to look at your throat thru your mouth...The tonsils will be red, inflamed, and often will be covered with pockets of pus (sorry for the unfortunate visual!).\n\nGenerally, before anyone recommends removing these, you would have "chronic" tonsil infections.  It is entirely normal to have a sore throat, or infected tonsils, on an occasional basis.  Having them removed is a fairly extreme step, done only when the antibiotics don't take care of the problem.  Two occurrences is generally not enough to make the doctor want to operate.

Actually you have an infection.  That's what puss is.  If your throat or tonsils are coated with "white stuff" or "puss" then you more than likely have strep throat which requires antibiotics right away.  That will get rid of the infection.

more than likely it is a fungus.  I had white spots start at the back of my neck and spread out.  Upon goin to the doctor, it was discovered that there was a fungus growing on my skin and blocking UV rays of the sun, therefore, causing the skin underneath the fungus to appear to stay white.  After that, I applied an "salve" I suppose killed the fungus, and it never happened again.  I was 16 or 17 at the time.\nNow if your dark skinned by nature, I really have no idea if this is the same thing.  I myself am a pale skinned person.

It is the white blood cells that are trying to fight off the infection that create the white gooey stuff that looks like pus.

It all depends on the color that it is. If it is white, its probably some type of a viral disease, or if its green its probably a bacterial disease that can be treated w/antibiotics, if its white and viral YOU WILL Not be able to treat it with antibiotics, and just need to drink lots of liquids, and try to stay warm. If it goes on for more than a couple of days, you should see your doctor, just to be on the safe side.

White patches are not signs of cavities. Usually it will be a darker colour. No, cavities do not spread from tooth to tooth. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and floss
