What Causes Blisters And Soreness At The Back Of The Throat?

I've had a cold since last week and as of the other day, I have a soreness in the back of my throat and it goes down my neck. My neck is sore when I turn to the left and to the right; it hurts when I breathe also. I just looked in the mirror and I see blister like spots in the back of my throat. What is it?

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you had a viral infection leading to cold that has accompanied with a secondary bacterial infection leading to blister like spots on the throat that seems to be pus pockets and is leading to Pharyngitis..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can be done for confirmation..

You can be given a script of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and along with it do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and suck throat lozenges..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and take a soft bland diet..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
