The white thing in the back of your throat is likely your uvula, a small, fleshy structure that hangs down from the soft palate. It plays a role in speech and helps prevent food from entering the nasal cavity during swallowing. In some cases, a white coating or spots could indicate issues like tonsillitis or a fungal infection, so it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you're concerned.
