A member asked:

I have white spot around tonsil and back of throat but i don't feel pain . i what i know what is that ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an ENT: The spot could be a variety of thing ranging from tonsil cryptic debris(not an infection) to a cancerous tumor. Without looking at it it is next to impossible to tell you what it is. I would recommend seeing an ENT for an accurate diagnosis.
