How To Treat The Sore In Back Of The Mouth Caused By An Injury?
Small injury 10 days ago in back of mouth in soft tissue caused by jamming a drinking straw into back of mouth has developed into a white sore approximately the size of 1 1/2 pencil eraser. Injury has developed into small appetite loss fever and chills 48 hours ago. 24 hours ago experienced severe muscle ache especially through the neck area, which has since subsided. Oral thermometer shows body temperature at 101.6°, with no document of previous temperatures due to unavailability of thermometer. No diarrhea at this point and today am constipated. Please advise

If still persistent ,kindly get it checked from the ENT surgeon in your area for a dose of antibiotics .
