A member asked:
Can a sore throat give you like small white patches or white dots in the back of your throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: This could be indicative of strep throat, which should be treated with antibiotics not only to avoid spreading the illness, but also to prevent problems such as affecting your heart valves. See a doctor for a proper evaluation today. Hope this helps!
