What Causes Irregular Shaped Red Lump On Uvula?

I have white spots around my mouth on my tonsils and around them. Also on the roof of my mouth. I did have some on my uvula but they seem to have disappeared but I now have a red lump on my uvula and it is misshaped. It's very sore and it hurts to even swallow

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Bacterial throat infection also known as Strep throat and the symptoms of white spots on tonsils and roof of the mouth that seems to be pus pockets and a red lump on uvula that seems to be due to formation of an ulcer or abscess secondary to infection and pain is due to inflammation..

For confirmation consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Thorat swab culture can help in diagnosis..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help..
You can also suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..

As of now you can do gargles with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve pain..
Gargle with betadine solution by mixing it in water..
Take a soft diet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
