white pallet in mouth

[chetanbhavikattiis]

I am getting small white pallets which smells badly. which comes from nasal cavity into throat . these will be formed with a interval of 7 days and there is no bad smell from mouth . Is this due to infection ?

It might be food concretions getting trapped in the tonsils which are called tonsilliths.  If that is the case, it is not an infection, but repeated tonsil infections can make you predisposed to tonsillith formation.  I would recommend that you consult your physician for further evaluation and treatment.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your symptoms could be due to sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Sinus infections can cause stuffiness of the nose with nasal blockage, which can make breathing through the nose difficult. It can also cause post nasal drip and lead to an irritation in the throat. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment. In the meantime practice good breathing exercises, humidify your room and do steam inhalations.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
