Suggest Treatment For Small Orange Color Bumps On The Throat

I was just at the park and a caterpillar appeared on my toe. I flicked it off but after about ten minutes from walking home, my throat was feeling very uncomfortable. I went to the bathroom and checked on my throat and my mouth was veiny and orange bumps had formed. I don t know if it was poisonous but I also don t know what I should do. Please reply back immediately.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query small orange color bumps on the throat could be because of fungal infection. It could be strep throat infection as well. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and evaluated properly. You should get throat swab test done and gram staining done to find out actual cause and start treatment accordingly. You should take a combination of anti-inflammatory and antihistamines. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy foods. Avoid cold carbonated drinks. Take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
