What Could Be Done For Sore Throat, Dry Mouth And Lips?

Yes, I have had very dry mouth and lips for a couple weeks now. No matter what I put on the lips they were still dry. Then the sore throat started about 3 days ago. I also ran a low grade temp for a couple days over Christmas but today it was normal. I also got a flashlight so I could see the back of the mouth and there are whitehead looking bumps at the very back of the mouth. do I need to see someone?

Hi,

I have gone through your query. Sore Throat with fever is due to upper respiratory tract infection. There is no need to worry about it. You can take antibiotic like Amoxycillin or azithromycin. And paracetamol for fever.
White bumps at the back of mouth might be taste buds over tongue.
Keep yourself well hydrated to avoid dyr mouth and lips.
