Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I observed a white round swelling at the right rear of my mouth cavity behind the last tooth. Also a white straight line behind my uvula. Sometimes I feel that something is stuck there in my throat. No other symptoms. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms can be related to many diagnoses. A picture if possible would help. It can be a yeast infection, a viral or a bacterial infection. I suggest you do some examinations such as a throat culture and a blood test. Meanwhile, some tips: Gargle with salt water, use throat sprays with anti-inflammatory drugs, stay hydrated. After the results of the examination, you can contact me again for a proper treatment. Hope my answer was helpful. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
