Sore Throat, Redness, Paleness And Painful, Warm Sensation, Sinus Infection. On Augmentin. Help?
Hi. I have a sore throat and it is reddened but also the roof of my mouth toward the throat is pale yellow and painful. The only way to describe it is it feels like prickly heat. Any idea what it would be? I've been treated for a sinus infection with about 8 days of amoxicillin and was switched to augmentin for 3 days so far.

Welcome to HCM.
Don't worry it will recover with augmentin but continue it for atleast 7 to 10 days.
Start steam inhalation.Most likely it is allergic initially but later bacterial infection occurs usually.Watchful for triggering factor (allergen).
Also take vitamin B with lactobacillus.
Avoid oily,spicy and chilled water,cold drink and other food.
Go for CBC,absolute eosinophil count.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
