White patches on both sides of throat
About 8–9 days ago, I noticed two white patches at the back of my throat. Three to four days later, I developed a sore throat that lasted for about 2–3 days.
I visited a general physician, who diagnosed me with a bacterial throat infection and stomatitis.
The sore throat has now resolved, but the two white patches are still present. They are not painful and do not cause any discomfort—they have simply remained there.
No history of smoking or tobacco consumption.

Hello..! These white patches are common after fever or sore throat... Nothing to worry about. My suggestion would be add B-Complex tablet and probiotic.
If the lesion present more than 2 weeks then it should be concerning... Visit an ENT Specialist for further guidance.

Since your sore throat has resolved , changes like these may persist for 1-2 weeks
Can do warm saline gargles or chlorhexidine mouth gargles 2-3 times a day. It will disappear on its own.
