What Could Be The Reason For Having Itching And Soreness In Roof Of Mouth While Having Cold?

Hi I have a cold and I notice the roof of my mouth was itchy and it would become dry..when I yawn it's kind of sore and when I checked my throat it's like a red rash on the roof of my mouth.. I only start noticing this since I've had my cold for the last 2 days.. Do you have any idea what this could be

Hello dear,

All these symptoms indicate that you might be having Pharyngitis.
Management includes:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve the soreness.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist.
Meanwhile...avoid taking cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods.

Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Take care.
