White spots/lines in oropharynx area. NOT tonsils or mouth

[DMARXX]

Hello I have noticed some white spots/lines at the back of my throat on my oropharynx area. Tonsils look normal and no white spots in mouth. Just that area the furthest wall in the mouth that extends deeper into the throat. No pain. Doc did a nasal endoscopy and laryngoscopy and sees lots of inflammation in back of mouth and a little deeper. but I don’t have any pain. I’ve had these white lines since March and never thought too much into it. Is it not normal? I do feel that it’s inflamed a little bit but I don’t feel any pain and I’ve never had painless inflammation.

Hm, well, your doctor seems to be following up on this for you.  What is their interpretation of what is going on? Any explanation from them?  That IS a little odd that you don't have any pain but the doctor notes inflammation.  Is the doctor treating the inflammation?  By definition, pharyngitis is inflammation of the throat and is called by non medical people, a sore throat.  Possibly you were getting sick and are fighting it off as inflammation happens for that reason.  Been a long time but whose to say you constantly have this inflammation.  You just had it when they looked.  Prolonged stress can cause chronic inflammation by the way. I really don't look in my throat all that much.  What prompted you to investigate?  I'd do what the doctor says to reduce the inflammation and then monitor for other symptoms.  If it is just white lines in your throat, then probably normal.
