Sore Throat, Stuffy Nose And Feeling Congested. White Spots On Roof Of Mouth. Any Treatment?

I have been sick for about 2 weeks. I have been coughing, feeling congested, having a sore throat and feeling stuffy ( nose ). I noticed that there was a small white spot on the roof of my mouth, could that have anything to do with coughing/coughing up mucus/phlegm? There is no way it is any type of STD as I have not been sexually active with anyone.

hi there, what you have described sounds like common cold with pharyngitis probabely of bacterial etiology. You need to visit aphysician who will give you a throat exam and a ncomplete physical exam and then start a course of antibiotics along with some antihistaminics and inti-inflammatory tablets for symptomatic cure. You could also use a cough drop to controll cough and steam inhalation to get relief from the stuffy nose . Take care.
