What Causes Yellow Bumps At The Back Of The Throat With White Sores?

Hi, I am have had this yellow bump at the back of my throat from more than 8 months now. And i have some rashesh(first red then turned white like mouth sore but not round or circled more like a patch) on the back of my throat and near uvula from last one week. Its not that painful just itchy sometimes. Uvula is red and seems long. It touches the back of my tongue and feels itchy. i have been using warm salt water to gargle since a week and see very little improvement. I have noticed very purple veins in my throat, below tongue, on uvula and soft palate today. Also i see very tiny dots like popee seeds or little smallers than that on soft palate, under tongue, end of the jaw. I had swollen lymph node when this started for a day or two, lymph nodes are normal now. No cough, no chronic pain, no swallowing problem, no blood, no mucus, no chest or ear or shoulder pain and no headaches. Just itchiness and mild pain. History: I had a very bad infection on my right tonsil 6 years ago, that disfigured my roght tonsil since then. It was a black spot that treated by my doc with antiseptics gargles and it healed. Also, i am a pack a day smoker since 8 years. I am attaching the pics, please advice

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query yellow bumps at back of throat along with white sores is due to streptococcal infection which is leading to strep throat. Tonsillitis is one of the cause. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and go for sputum test as well. You should do is to do warm saline gargles at-least 2 to 3 times in a day. Avoid fried , sharp and spicy food. You can take soothening lozenges to reduce pain and discomfort. For reduction of pain and inflammation you should take ibuprofen or calpol. You should take antibiotic amoxicillin for at-least 5 days. Avoid drinking cold carbonated beverages. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Do rinses with antimicrobial mouth wash as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
