Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have small white spots on the throat along with halitosis which is due to sore throat and associated lymph node enlargement which is due to infection in throat due to streptococcus bacteria. I would suggest you to take preventive measures such as do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should gargle with antiseptic mouthwash. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Take combination of antibiotic such as Amoxicillin and anti- inflammatory drugs. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for aspiration cytology of the lymph node can be done to know the cause of lymph node enlargement. Once proper diagnosis has been made start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
