Sore Throat, Painful, Bumps On Palate. Taking Antacids, Negative Swab Tests. Suggestions?

Hi,

I started having a soar throat about three weeks ago and I noticed that my throat is red. I tasted food differently for a day and I had a spot on my tongue that went away. The pain is different from day to day. I tried taking antancids because I thought it was due to acid reflux, but it doesn't seem to be related. I noticed some tiny bumps on my palate as well. I went to see a doctor about a week ago and he took a swab to analyze my throat and the results were negative. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Thank you!

These are hemorrhagic spots which disappears in due course, mostly you would have had viral infection, these are common with viral infections. maintain your oral hygiene, that is the good step you can do.
