Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain and redness at the back of the mouth. Well there can be many reasons for these spots on the back of throat,tonsils and roof of mouth like oral thrush, tonsil stones, oral herpes and tonsillitis. It could be due to inadequate hygiene of oral cavity and or dental infection which has spread to back of the mouth.

I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and rule out causes mentioned above. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Usually treatment is not necessary, as the tonsils will clean themselves just do warm saline gargles and suck on lemon candy .

Maintain oral hygiene , do gargles with antiseptic mouthwash like Listerine and avoid spicy food .If condition doesn't get better then consult oral pathologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
