Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
You might have tonsillitis, where your tonsils (the two lumps at the back of your throat) become swollen and inflamed. This can be caused by bacteria or viruses. The inflammation could be why you feel pain while eating and swallowing, and the white patches indicate an infection. It's important to see an ENT specilaist, as they may recommend antibiotics to treat the infection. Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids and avoid very hot or spicy foods.
