Suggest Treatment For Red Bumps On Soft Palate And Sore Throat
Hi, about two weeks ago I noticed that my throat felt very swollen, dry and there were red bumps on my soft palate. I also have a sore throat and my palatopharyngeal arch is white. When I talk my throat begins to hurt and sometimes I feel this dully achy pain in my ears. I do not have a fever but last week I experienced some post nasal dripping in my throat.

You seem to be suffering from pharyngitis and associated sinusitis. If you develop worsening of symptoms or develop a fever, you will need to see your doctor to start antibiotics. Until then, you can use home remedies. You have to gargle about 5 times a day with warm saline solution. Just warm not too hot. Steam inhalation 3 times a day will also help you heal faster. Thank you and have a nice day.
