What Causes Sore Throat And Red Spots On The Roof Of The Mouth?
i have just got back from a cottage weekend and have noticed that my throat is a little sore and i have probably 7 red dots sporadicly on the roof of my mouth and down towards my throat? i did slightly burn my mouth yesterday eating but I'm freaking out
There is a possibility that red spots on the roof of mouth and sore throat can be due to burning of the mouth with hot foods while it can also be due to throat infection..
If you are known allergic to anything then it can also be a cause..
So first of all you can start doing warm saline gargles, antiseptic mouthwash gargles and take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
In case if there is no improvement in 3-4 days then you can consult an Emergency room and get examined for infection in throat..
If it is ruled out then a course of antibiotics can help in resolution..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
