what to do if i have red throat, bump near uvula, 1 swollen tonsil.. help?

Accepted Answer

Sx's: For significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician &amp; get a strep throat test &amp; culture. Antibiotics are imperative for Strep Throat.  Try saltwater gargles. Mix tsp of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle w this several times/day. You can gargle w Aloe Vera juice a couple of times per day. A mix of chamomile tea w honey &amp; a small amt of lemon juice helps.

Uvula: It's common to see red veins on the uvula.  Unless it's swollen, painful or there's other associated symptoms, then i like to tell my patients not to worry about it.

Red bumps: You may have a virus of the throat, but get a throat culture to rule out strep.

Question 7

i have red bumps towards the back of tongue as well as white lines between tongue and uvula. any idea what this could be? low water consumption lately

Accepted Answer

Tongue papillae?: Everybody has a row of 7-9 prominent bumps in a row across the back of the tongue, called circumvallate papillae. Google for photos -- most likely that explains the red bumps. Not so sure about the "white lines", but you could try googling lichen planus to see if it matches what you are seeing. In any case, this doesn't sound at all serious.

Question 8

2 or 3 raised red bumps with white center on back of throat on top near uvula. i had tonsils removed years ago. bumps are a little sore. what is it?

Question 10
