My guess is that you have fuzz from your swab in the register tube.
What's confusing:
If second register left hand high B (xoo|ooo) and C (ooo|ooo) don't work, the rest of the horn shouldn't either. B and C may not "speak" very clearly, or "grunt", but if they don't work at all the rest of the horn should have serious issues.
If you mean first register right hand B (xxx|xoo) and left hand C (xxx|ooo), those aren't referred to as "throat" tones - and none of the right hand notes should work.
If you mean second register LONG B (xxx|xxx xx) and C (xxx|xxx x) (as played with either pinky), are low E, F, and G affected? What adjustment did you make?
...
"Throat" usually refers to the first register open notes, especially when talking about specific G, Ab, A, and trills.
"High" usually refers to the second register high notes, usually B or C. Sometimes "open C", for high C.
Third register "standard high D", or "altissimo" D is (oxx|xoo x).
"Trill" high D is played with the second register Ab and/or trill keys.
"Long" notes are second register B and C (played with either pinky), or other second register right hand notes, like D.
Some people like first register C (xxx|ooo) as "C4", but I find this inherently ambiguous because it refers to the pitch, not the fingering.
