What does it mean if i'm getting white patches in my throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: This could be viral infection, bacterial infection, yeast infection, secretions due to something else. Without knowing what other symptoms you are having and seeing the patches, impossible to diagnose. See your local doctor.
