Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT.
Based on your description, the white spots and patches in the throat and under the tongue could be due to several possible conditions:
1. Oral Candidiasis
2. Pharyngitis / Tonsillitis
3. Leukoplakia
4. Aphthous / Traumatic Ulcers
5. Lichen Planus
Next Steps
• Oral cavity examination by ENT specialist.
• Throat swab for KOH mount (to rule out fungal infection).
• Complete blood count (CBC).
• Blood sugar levels (if diabetes suspected).
• Biopsy if white patches are persistent & non-scrapable (to rule out premalignant conditions).
Health Tips
Kindly consult nearest ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and targeted treatment.
