Why The Soft Palate Is Enflamed And Reddish To The Back Of My Throat?

Had an eye stye for the past few days which seems to have gone away, also over the past few days I had some what I though was post nasal drip. Now my soft palate is enflamed and redish all the way to the back of my throat. I dont feel much pain just discomfort.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain you are suffering from throat infection which seems most probably be either due to viral infection or viral infection with secondary bacterial infection..
Nothing to worry, take a short course of antibiotics like AZITHROMYCIN 500 mg once a day for 5 days..
To reduce inflammation and redness anti-inflammatory painkiller like IBUPROFEN 400 mg thrice a day can help..
Chew a VITAMIN C pellet daily..
Do warm saline gargles 3 times a days..
Do steam inhalations and use a cool mist humidifier at home in your room..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
If there is congestion due to phlegm you can take decongestants containing Pseudoephadrine [sudafed] or else not needed..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
