Red Streak In Middle Of Uvula, Pain In Oral Cavity, Swollen Lymph Node, Hurts To Swallow. Help

Hello, Hope you are doing well today. I hope you can help me out. Sx began ~5 days ago. Noticed one red streak right in the middle of my uvula . Incredible pain on the far back left side of oral cavity. Pain increases upon inhalation . Mild pain when I touch my left lymph node (which is slightly swollen). It hurts to swallow. No other Sx. Please help.

Hello dear,

All these symptoms indicate that you might be having Pharyngitis.

Management includes:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve pain.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.

If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist.
Meanwhile...avoid taking cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods.

Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
