What Causes Swollen Lips, Mouth Sores And White Spots On Tonsil?

Hello, so six days ago I started developing white sores in my mouth along with a sore throat. It has only gotten worse with time and the whole inside of my mouth/lips are very swollen with lots of sores everywhere. I have white spots on my tonsils as well. I also now have a fever and feel exhausted. Any thoughts?

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding sore throat which had progressed to involve tonsils and white sores have developed on tonsils along with soreness in entire mouth and lips also become swollen and oedematous.

Your entire clinical history indicates that you are having acute follicular tonsillitis with aphthus ulcers on lips and various parts of mouth cavity.

For diagnosis and treatment point of view you are advice for these investigations-

1- Culture and sensitivity of throat swab.

2- Blood- CBC, ESR, blood sugar (fasting and post parendial).

3- Gram's staining of saliva.

Condition of mouth and throat as you have described is to be treated by ENT specialist but till you are waiting for specialist you may take-

a- Tab paracetamol.

b- Antiseptic mouth wash and gargling.

c- Boroglycerine locally to be applied in mouth cavity.

d- Antibiotic (preferably broad spectrum).

I hope your query is answered.

Regards.
