White spot on back of throat

2017-08-06 13:14:30
I noticed one white spot on the back of my throat about 4 days ago and it has not gone away but I also haven't gotten more. I've also had symptoms of a cold (cough, runny nose, sore muscles) but nothing extreme.

You might be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. If you don't have any symptoms such as throat pain and foreign body sensation in the throat then you need not worry
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can do salt water gargling
