What Does A White Dot In Throat Indicate After A Cold?
My nose has been running for the past day and a half. This afternoon the right side of my throat started hurting. When I just looked in the mirror tonight I have 1 white dot the right side of my throat. I thought my throat was hurting from post nasal drip, could this be an infection?

WELCOME TO HCM.
IT SEEMS U R DEVELOPING ACUTE INFECTION OF UR RIGHT TONSIL. U NEED TO TAKE AN ANTIBIOTIC, ANALGESIC AND ANTIALLERGIC TAB. ALONG WITH THIS TAKE BETADINE GARGLES TWICE DAILY. TAKE PLENTY OF LIQUUIDS AND MAINTAIN ORAL HYGIENE. IN CASE IT PERSISTS FOR LONGER THAN 72 HOURS WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT, U WILL BE NEEDED TO GO TO AN ENT SPECIALIST.
