Hi 3 weeks from now I had a cold and recovered in 3 days. After which I was suffering from mild dry cough due to post nasal drip no and was prescribed montec lc for 7 days from a doctor here. I completed 7 days and found that mild cough still persists and also noticed a white spot on my throat with very bad breath with no other symptoms at all. Please help in treatment of this issue. Thanks

Hi good morning,
Such white spots on tonsills are generally Tonsillar stones which form after repeat tonsills infection. These can also be small pustules, which are incompletely healed infection. Your throat also looks congested. Tonsills stones/pustules both give bad breathe.
Do warm salt water gargles daily. You can also do gargles with betadine.
If the problem still persists, please consult online for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Thanks.
