Tongue is white and throat is very itchy

[Chelsea18]

I'm 19 years old. I've had this been going on for 3 days now. My throat doesn't have spots on it but it's kind of grey, yellow and brown. What could this be?

Hi Chelsea

May I suggest that you call your doctor please?, it certainly sounds like a throat infection that may need treatment, and should not be left.

Also you might wish to note that this forum is specifically for people suffering "arrythmias" abnormal heartbeats that cause them challenges.

I really hope that at 19 you are not anywhere close to such a condition.

Good luck and thinking of you

Ian

you probably have a Strepptacotal infection very common,especially at this time of year where we are coughing all over each other and immune systems are low after being cooped up all winter. drink plenty of clear fluids or squash,and rest. you can always ring 111,the NHS guideline and speak to an adviser in person too,or go to your local pharmacist,they are very good, if you can't get into a GP

I would get an appointment with your GP as soon as possible,in case you need antibiotics.This will depend on your GPs medical opinion.Take care

My doctor said that I have nasal drainage. So he gave me Claritin and a mouthwash that numbs my throat. I've not gotten any better.
