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.

HI. IT COULD JUST BE A IRRITATED GLAND OR LYMPHNOID ( WE HAVE TONS OF THEM IN OUR NECKS). I WOULD WAITE A FEW DAYS AND IF IT IS NOT GONE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. GOOD LUCK.

try bushing your tongue and washing your mouth out with salt water. could be mouth blister or could be thrush if thrush will show as a white fur on your tongue eat some yogurt. if it doesn't clear up in a day or two go see your doc.

It sounds like an infection. It could be teh begining of strep throat, or possibly the start of a cold. Take not chances! See a doctor to find out what it is and get some antibiotics!

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.

i think u should go to a doctor...i have also very small white spots..and according to doctor i have vitiligo...but its not bothering me because its on my legs and very small..but in my opinion don't use anything from the advice or recommendations on net because u can't show your white patches here and there r lots of other things which cause this depend on size colour and different other things so just go to doctor and use whichever he/she recommend for you.\n\nthanks

How big are these spots?  It sounds like you are describing tinea versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin.  It is most commonly located on the chest, back, shoulders, and rarely goes below the waist or above the neck.  It tends to be worse in the summer, itches when you sweat or take a hot shower, and they will not tan (which is why they are more noticeable in the summer).  The treatment is with Selenium Sulfide Lotion, which will eliminate it temporarily, although it will likely recur again at some time in the future, because this fungus is ubiquitous and grows on you because of a particular lipid that is produced by your skin.  It is not contagious, and it is not dangerous.... \n\nbut first you would need an accurate diagnosis.  A rash can not be diagnosed online.  You should check with your doctor, and they can prescribe you the appropriate medication.

Tonsillitis is an infection and swelling of the tonsils, which are oval-shaped masses of lymph gland tissue located on both sides of the back of the throat. The tonsils normally help to prevent infections.\nThey act like filters to trap bacteria and viruses entering the body through the mouth and sinuses. The tonsils also stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies which fight off infections. Anyone can have tonsillitis; however, it is most common in children between the ages of five and 10 years. Tonsillitis is caused by viruses or bacteria that cause the tonsils to swell and become inflamed. A mild or severe sore throat is one of the first symptoms of tonsillitis. Symptoms can also include fever, chills, lethargy, muscle aches, earache, pain or discomfort when swallowing, and swollen glands in the neck. Young children may be fussy and stop eating. When a doctor or nurse looks into the mouth with a otoscope, the tonsils may appear swollen and red. Sometimes they will have white or yellow spots and a thin mucous coating. Symptoms usually last four to six days.

only your doctor can tell you if it is viral or bacterial, either way you should see him/her.  If it is bacterial, you need to be prescribed an antibiotic.  You don't want it to get worse, especially if it is strep throat.  Untreated, strep throat can cause all kinds of ugly problems.  \nViral illnesses cannot be treated with antibiotics, but you can probably find something over the counter to help with the symptoms while you ride it out.  Hope you feel better, and call a doctor. (p.s. usually strep throat comes with swollen tonsils, white patches on the back of the throat, and bad breath.)

The white spots in your nails are a lack of calcium. If you take calcium or drink something calcium in there they usually go away after awhile.

All three of the above could be the correct answer: candida fungus, leukoplakia, or plaque.  My bet is on the fungus but can't tell without seeing it.  You should see a dentist about it.
