Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have black spot on throat which is due to streptococcal infection and it could be co-infection by bacteria and viral infection ( viral pharyngitis ) to your body. Such spot can also occur due to bleeding of tonsil. I would suggest you to start with anti-inflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine and antibiotic such as amoxicillin or penicillin . You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and get blood tests done. You should get endoscopy and CT scan done to rule out any possible cause of throat cancer. Stay calm . You should start treatment after proper prescription and diagnosis. Avoid cold beverages , hot spicy food and do warm saline gargles .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
