Unclear question: Do you have any symptoms other the feeling of throat being "coated"? For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Swab: If there is no pain or difficulty swallowing there is no need to be concerned. If you can see a white coating then this could be the beginning of a streptococcal throat infection or yeast infection of the throat. If the symptoms are not resolving over 24 hrs,see your dr to get a swab done
