What Does A Purple Rash Around The Uvula Indicate?

Hello. It recently felt like something was stuck in the back of my mouth. I looked in my mouth with a flashlight and noticed bruising or a purpleish-black mark on each side of my Uvula. My throat feels better and do not have the sensation of something stuck in my mouth but it is still the same color.

Hi Dear,

As per your query you have symptoms of purple rash around the uvula which is because of viral infection which sometimes spread in the tissues around the tonsils and produce this coloration. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. Drink hot milk with half spoon of turmeric powder. Apply Lignocaine containing gel if it is painful. Take Advil or Tylenol for pain and swelling. Consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test or throat swab test.Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course for at least 10 days along with anti allergic drug depending upon the diagnosis. Take diet rich in vitamin C. Maintain proper oral hygiene.



Hope I have answered your query.
