A member asked:

Yesterday i had white patches in the back of my throat, today they're barely there but it still hurts like it did yesterday. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Virus: It could be a viral infection of the throat. Viruses can cause white patches just like strep. I would recommend seeing a doctor or urgent care if you have the sore throat, NO cold symptoms and also have a fever, stomach pain, headache or rash.
