Is It Possible To Burn A Swollen Throat With Spicy Hot Wings?

Is it possible to burn a swollen throat with spicy hot wings? Woke up with white patches on tonsils and uvula and I have had a sore throat for a few days before eating the spicy wings without having white patches. Unsure if I have a burnt throat lesions or if I have strep throat now.

Thank You for contacting HCM.

I read your query carefully..
according to the details you were having sore throat already..and it aggravated after you took spicy hot wings.
White patches show that it is infected now..

- Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough.
- I would start you on amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days. (It is a prescription medicine so you need to visit nearest doctor to get it)
- Take acetaminophen for pain & fever

- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food
If condition remains constant after 3-5 days consult your ENT specialist.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow

Wishing you good health.
