Question : Hi. I have one big red dot on my uvula and a few smaller ones going up towards the roof of my mouth. I have no other symptoms but the area itched two days ago. I have no fever or other rashes or anything and my tonsils are not swollen. All though i had a sinus virus a few days ago. Thank you. XXXX
