Have Red Bumps On Throat, Sore On Roof Of Mouth. Is It Ulcer Or STD?
I have little red bumps in the back of my throat, they aren't that irritated... but my throat has hurt off and on for the past two weeks. Now I have what I think is and ulcer/canker sore on the roof of my mouth -- almost on my uvula. I'm always concerned it could be an STD... but I'm not thinking it is. What do you think?
