Brief Answer:
Mild Granular Pharyngitis yellow pigments, congestion. Medication advised.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The image shows mild granular pharyngitis, yellow pigmentation and congestion (prominent blood vessels) in the mouth and throat. The rest appears normal.
2. This signifies some inflammation. The mucus that you feel is usually a Post Nasal Drip.
3. An anti-allergic, mucolytic, steam inhalation and a medicated gargle should settle this soon.
4. Add an anti-reflux medication if necessary. These are prescription medications hence it is better to get an examination.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
