Question: hello doctor,
This is Namarata from XXXXXXX Uk , last wednesday i had the upper right side of the teeth cleaned by the dentist , even before that couple of days ago i had a small ulcer like in the place where the pharynx and tonsils and the soft palate meets . I showed it to the dentist when i went to the clinic and she said that it was just normal thing when hot or spicy food burns up that place she said it will go after a couple of days . after that she did the cleaning post which i was concentrating only on the gums and doing salt water gargling and all . yesterday evening i started experiencing dryness and burning sensation in throat ...sometimes tingliness and i thought i would do salt water gargling and when i did it burns ( the upper throat more near the uvula area) . the water was not very hot just warm but i do put a little extra salt always could taht be the reason ? I am so scared of herpes doctor that i have taken multiple tests of igg for both the types and its negative . that is one of the primary reasons i do not go to the dentist as i feel they would not use sterlise instruments . this dentist where i went ensured that they take these things seriously and showed me their cross infection control measures but still on that day i mean last wednesday the scaling tip whcih is used to clean the tip was not opened from the pouch in front of me .... or atleast i did not see it .... when i saw all that i could see was the dentist putting the attachment onto the machine so i am very much scared.
1) why does it burns when i do salt water gargling
2) i am experiencing upper stomach pain ( more like a pressing , burning sensation pain ) i get these kind of pain when i am in too much anxiety .... can this be a reason
3) i am taking only curd rice for the past five days so no spice food there
4) i have tried taking pics as far as i could stretch my mouth
5)please help me i am so petrified .

Hello doctor
I am sorry I am not able to take photos as you said but I have taken as much as I can stretch . The pain in the upper stomach feels more like someone is constantly pressing the hand against the stomach and the upper stomach feels so full the pain is more towards the rib area. I am so scared why do I feel like this . I am so scared of herpes doctor please help me
