[throawayaccount]

white patches in my throat. my throat isn’t particularly sore but it feels like i have a hairball stuck in it and i’m struggling to swallow. going to pharmacy tomorrow to see if they can help but any ideas please?

Strep throat. You need to get antibiotics

How are your cheeks, tongue etc? Were there red spots before the white? My ds gets the white with tonsillitis, red spots with strep. White patches and not much else suggests thrush to me (assuming no fever or other symtpoms).

Looks like oral thrush to me, but I've little experience of strep throat/ tonsillitis. Do you use an inhaler? My dad swears they give him thrush.

I used to get this a lot when younger ulcers on tonsils was always given antibiotics

Looks more than thrush than a bacterial tonsil infection.
Just be aware this can be spread by kissing (and sex) so be careful if you are snogging anyone

Maybe thrush

looks like thrush not tonsillitis.

Thrush

Oral thrush

I say thrush too. Hope you don’t suffer for too long x
