What Causes Red Spots At The Back Of Throat Along With Constipation?
i have been struggling for months now with nose and throat problems such as nasal congestion, coughing up dark green/brown mucous, bad breath, PND always feeling as if something is in the back of my throat, tonsil stones, and just recently noticed little red dots on the tip and a very yellow coating in the back. I ve also had some digestive issues with constipation, abdominal distention, frequent bowel noises, slight pain/discomfort left side just under rib cage, chest pain and pounding heart on occasion. It s been going on so long I m very worried about my health and nobody has been able to give me a satisfactory diagnosis or will even listen to me thoroughly to explain how uncomfortable I have been for almost a year now. The best they could give me was that I had GERD and pustular tonsillitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis

Hello,
You are having red spots at the back of the throat. Red bumps on the back of the throat are suggestive of inflammation, irritation, or an infection in your upper respiratory tract. Red spots at the back of the throat are commonly triggered by sore throat caused by viral infections, coughing, phlegm, or sinusitis, swollen glands in your neck.
Get clinically examined by an ENT to detect inflamed nostrils, pus, enlarged lymph glands, blocked sinus, swollen glands in your neck, etc. You will be treated with a course of antibiotics like doxycycline -100 mg. Analgesics and antihistamines for relief. Gargle your throat with warm water and salt 2-3 times a day. To get rid of acid reflux you can take PPIs, Pan-40, one stat when required.
You may be referred to a GP, for clinical examination and evaluation of chronic diseases that need to be treated. You will be treated accordingly. Add fiber to your regular diet, take laxatives, drink fluids and water to avoid constipation. Stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
