White behind tonsil

Waiting for my appointment with the oral maxiofacial consultants, but wondering if anyone has had anything similar. I’ve noticed all behind my tonsil is white, been like this for months. No pain or other symptoms. My throat lining seems to be turning white around it too. Very worried and struggling to stay off google!!!

  • Hi As2607,

    It's good to hear you have an appointment coming up for this. Do try to avoid Google as a lot of the information will be irrelevant and it only tends to lead to further worries.

    I hope it's not long to wait for your appointment and that you get the information you need soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
