A member asked:
Could having allergies cause the left side of my throat to look whitish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The mucus from allergies is typically clear and watery or it can be mucous. White patches in the throat may be related to overgrowth of fungi called thrush or possibly bacterial infection (like strep) or viral infection (like mono). These last 2 will usually be accompanied by sore throat, fever, headache, fatigue, etc. Thrush many times is not accompanied by significant symptoms.
