Suggest Remedy For Red Dots On Uvula And Roof Of Mouth

Hi, so I have little red dots on my uvula and roof of my mouth, there s only a few and they re in like a straight line. My tonsils are swollen and it feels like I m swallowing razor blades. I ve had flu like symptoms for three days now, and my throat has been hurting, but as of like 3 hours ago, my throat started really hurting. Can you please help me and give me some remedies or something. I ve gargled warm salt water, and that only helps for like 5 minutes. When I use cough drops, they make me vomit. This is killing me, please get back to me asap.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards condition known as ' PHARYNGITIS '.

In this condition there is swelling of pharynx due to viral or bacterial infection. But most commonly caused by viral infection .

This condition mostly associated with tonsillitis .

I would suggest you to :-

- Continue doing warm saline gargles .

- Drink hot milk with half spoon of turmeric powder .

- Take advil (if not allergic) or tylenol for pain and swelling .

Consult ENT specialist for proper examination and rule out causes like allergy or acid reflux .

Doctor may order blood test or throat swab test .

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course (penecillin or amoxicillin) for at least 10 days , anti viral drug like acyclovir or anti allergic drug depending upon the diagnosis .

hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
