Suggest Treatment For Blister In The Throat With Pus Discharge

I have had a blister in the back of my throat for 3 weeks. It has a redish/yellow appearance and there is a small white dot at the bottom of it (like a pimple). I have had it cultured but it was negative for Herpes and Strep. What could this be? There is also small amounts of pus around it that can be rinsed off.

Hello,

You may be suffering from acute viral pharyngitis or bacterial infection. Also, possible (oral sex individuals) like herpes simplex or gonococcal infection. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625mg twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
