hi so ive posted on here a few times now but no one seems to reply on other pages. ive got health anxiety and ive abit sensitive about my throat lately. i had a sore throat (laryngitis) before xmas and my little boy is ill and seems to have passed it to me! my throat has been sore all day and i looked at the back of it (never used to in the past!) and the fleshy things that are usually flesh coloured are now white! any advice would be appreciated. im due to see my denstist next week so im sure he will know but i just need to ask incase anyone has had similar....ps sorry for the green tongue! i had just had a veggie smoothie.

    Just looks like a small throat infection, go see the doc they prob give u some anti biotics for it. Nothing to worry about, but I'm sure it's sore. Not nice.

      ive had many sore throats in the past but ive never actually looked at my throat. im fed up of my anxiety and jumping to the wost thing.

      well im seeing my dentist tuesday if it hasnt gone by then ill speak to him or if it gets worse ill go and see my GP. thank you again. usually those white things are orange well flesh coloured so freaked me out when i saw then white.

    Minor infection. Gargle with warm salt water until you can see doctor.
