What Causes Yellowness Of Soft Palate And Red Veins In Uvula?

My soft palate is yellow along with my uvula which also seems to have very red veins showing. I ve done a little reading so I figure its some sort of infection. I bought an antiseptic mouthwash and am using it two to three times a day. I started doing this yesterday. How long should it take for the infection to clear up using this method? PS I do not have a sort throat or fever. I do constantly feel like I have a little something stuck at the back of my throat which I assume is just my uvula being a little swollen?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

So sorry to hear about your problem and will try my level best to resolve it..

As per your complain feeling of some thing stuck at the back of throat along with uvula slightly swollen and also yellow appearance of the soft palate and red veins seems to be due to inflammation of the throat due to bacterial or viral infection while can also be due to acid reflux if you also have symptoms like heart burn..
I would suggest you to start gargling with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
You can also do warm saline gargles..
Suck throat lozenges..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
In case of no improvement consult an ENT expert and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
