Question 1

small flesh colored bumps on uvula w' sore throat.diagnosed with hpv over 10 years ago,no recurrences. also diagnosed with herpes over a year ago?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Throat pain can be from strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees a doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to see about antibiotics). Herpes recurs on the lips or face, rather than the uvula or inside the mouth.

Oral ulcers ?: Canker sores can cause what you describe. The ulcers are painful, with no known cause, but are associated with nutritional and vitamins deficiencies.  See your physician for an exam and a recommendation for a diet change.

Question 4

what pathogen besides herpes can cause clear blisters on hard palate, uvula & in throat? palate & throat sore, inflamed, petechiae. not canker sores!

Accepted Answer

Herpes Simplex I: is the most common virus causing painful vesicular lesions in the mouth.  There are a number of other viruses which are less common along with autoimmune diseases such as Bechet's syndrome which is cell mediated and not an infectious issue.  A visit to your PCP and a viral culture of a new vesicle along with a serologic workup for immune mediated diseases would be helpful.

Question 5

what exactly does herpes in your mouth feel like?

Accepted Answer

Oral Herpes: If it is the first occurance feels like a burning itching pain that nothing seems to help. Recurrent herpes will often have a prodrome of slight burning sensation where the lesion will appear in 2-3 days - this is the best time to take medication to prevent the outbreak. See your dentist or md for diagnosis & medicaitons to prevent/treat further outbreaks.

Question 6

cracked corners of mouth, is it herpes?

Unlikely: Based on your description of 'cracked' lips, it's unlikely to be herpes.  Furthermore, herpes is also unlikely to affect both corners of your mouth at the same time.  You either have chronic dry lips, in which case the simple use of a lip balm daily would help.  However, sometimes a fungal infection can also cause this.  See you dentist.  He or she can give a special medicine which help.
