Accepted Answer

Viral: Throat ulcers are caused by viruses. Strep can have many different appearances (red soft palate, mucus on tonsils, etc) but not ulcers. However if temp stays over 101 for more than 3 days, or if having other worrisome symptoms, get checked by your healthcare provider.

If so get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, vit. C and airborne.

Question 8

i am worried about red spots appearing all over my tongue look like ulcers but are connected to sore throat?

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat and tongue symptoms can be from strep throat (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 the doctor if symptoms are bothersome, recurrent, or don't go away quickly (mainly to check for a treatable infection). Throat lozenges and ibuprofen can lessen pain temporarily.

Question 9

i have redness at my throat which is normal for a sore throat but my lymph nodes in my throat are swelling(?) or its like ulcer.

Accepted Answer

You might have: tonsillitis or strep throat.  Have a doctor take a look at you.  Antibiotics might be necessary.

Question 10

i have a sore throat and i checked it and saw an ulcer, tried pressing it and removed a white smelly stuff like teeth mucus, what can i use?

Accepted Answer

Professional help : Please visit a dentist or doctor today! ulcers in soft tissue on throat lining is not normal. Smelly anything expressed from otherwise closed body system often indicates infection.  Some may be just a beginning sign of such infection or tumor, and getting professional exam and care makes a difference between needing only simple care vs extensive, invasive treatment.
