Whitish granular lesions in pharynx are seen on condition known as keratosis pharyngeus. It is not a serious condition and cause for this condition is usually reflux laryngopharyngitis or post nasal discharge. Treatment of cause is necessary. It won't have any long term consequences
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
