Suggest Treatment For Persistent Throat Infection

So about 4 months ago i had strep throat infection and i had yellow or white thrush on my uvula and my primary prescribed me penicillin which made a lot of improvement in a short amount of time but i only managed to finish maybe half of the treatment due to dirrhhea and some of the infection of was still on my uvula when i stopped the treatment but still the rest still went away on its own, but now i ve had these tiny pimple like lesions on my pharynx for the past 2 months it s doesn t hurt or bother me at all it s just once in awhile it feels like a super mild sore throat and it goes away and you don t even notice it. i m wondering if its chronic sore throat and maybe the strep bacteria caused it because i never finished my antibiotics. i m going to show you a picture please let me know what i should do and what you think how i should treat it. my primary is kind of dismissing and took a throat culture still waiting on those results but i ve read that chronic cases usually doesn t show up as anything on throat cultures

Hi,

It looks like a throat infection only and small pimple-like spots or bumps looks like throat infection only.

It can also be due to granular pharyngitis, so, first of all, you should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation can help. As the throat swab culture is already done you need to wait for the result so that appropriate diagnosis can be made.

For now, do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Drink warm fluids and avoid hard and spicy foods.

In case if the swab culture is suggestive of bacterial infection then antibiotics can be advised.

Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
