Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small blisters on the back of throat which could be due to acid reflux from stomach leading to excessive production of bile. It could be due to throat infection caused by bacteria or viruses. It could be due to tonsillitis. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order test like throat swab test , viral culture test and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like penicillin along with decongestant and anti inflammatory. In case of acid reflux Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole could be relieving. For now do warm saline gargles and take steam twice a day . Suck sugar free candy and keep yourself hydrate. Avoid oily and fried food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
