Question 2

diagnosed acute pharyngitis, 12 days since, fever gone, sore throat gone. still red spots roof of mouth, white tongue remain. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: Acute pharyngitis is usually a viral infection. I wonder if your PMD put you on an antibiotic.  If so, the white tongue could be a fungal infection.  Red spots on the palate still could be the viral infection that persists.  Do not be concerned, but if the spots persist see either your doctor or a specialist in oral medicine.
