A member asked:
I have a white patch that looks like a canker sore but does not hurt behind my left tonsil.

How long?: If this has been present for weeks or months, it is likely from scarring from a previous infection. If this is new, give it a couple of weeks to see if it does go away. If you are still concerned, ask your doctor or dentist to take a look at it.
