What Causes Sore Throat And Purple Discoloration On The Roof The Mouth?
My daughter has a sore throat, swollen gland and the roof of her mouth is tender and discolored purple. She is 24, a college grad, a teacher with a healthy relationship with her boyfriend. Of course she went to urgent care today to see what they thought and they were NO HELP, simply did a strep test. She went home and googled her symptoms and now if freaking out she is HIV positive. She has not knowingly had sex with anyone positive, has used contraceptives for years and is not a drug user. What is your opinion?
