Suggest Treatment For Sinusitis, Severe Cold, Cough And Sore Throat
Question: I was sick with a sinusitis/bad cold for almost 2 weeks. I was better but still was coughing occasionally to clear out phlegm. A week later I woke up with a super sore throat-couldn't even swallow. My tongue was yellow, and my throat was bright red. I then noticed by hat night, white blister sacs on my uvula. I don't notice them elsewhere. I called my doctor and he went with augmententen. I did a home rapid strep kit and it says NO strep. I'm not sure what it is. I noticed swelling went down a bit. But it's now day 3, and 4 pills in...and it's still painful. I'm hoping I wake up tomorrow much better.
Brief Answer:
Seems to be aphthous ulcer.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having white blister over uvula.
As per your clinical details and picture, it appears to be aphthous ulcer with pharyngitis.
These ulcers are commonly associated with infections (pharyngitis) and nutritional deficiencies.
In my opinion, augmentin as an antibiotic, is sufficient to control the infection. This is a prescription drug.
Continue salt water gargling and over the counter multivitamin, daily one tab for a week.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
