Question 1

lump on neck, lump on back of tongue, white spot on tonsil, red dots on tongue (look like large paepelle), white coating on tongue, ear/throat pain.

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: New throat pain can be from a 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 the doctor if the sore throat is "super sore", recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat infections can occur along with tongue and ear symptoms.

Question 2

why do i have red dots at the back of my throat?

Accepted Answer

Red bumps: Red bumps at the back of the throat should be watched carefully, particularly if they are accompanied by a sore throat and a fever, or if they become white bumps or spots. Usually red bumps there are related to a viral infection of some kind and shouldn't last long. But it's worth knowing some of the causes and how to respond if they appear and then linger for several days.

i was brushing the roof of my mouth this morning, and i felt some pain toward my tonsil area. i looked and theres a small red dot or patch on the back of my throat. it wasnt there last night & my throat slightly hurts. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Red patch: Trauma/burn/bruise/scratch/allergic response//neoplasm/infection/and so many more possibilities.  If it is completely gone in 14 days, forget about it. If it persists beyond 2 weeks, see your General Dentist or General Physician to begin the differential diagnostic process.

Question 6

i have two red tiny dots in back of my throat. i dont know what they are due to though. and it doesnt itch or burn. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Small blood vessel: Very small pinpoint red dots can be benign petechia..broken blood vessels that can arise from trauma, infection...ulcers can be rather small but they are usually uncomfortable. As long as there are no other visible abnormalities and they fade gradually this should be fine. If you see more of them or experience discomfort a physician should take a look.

Question 7

aften a course of antibiotics i still have red dots on back of my throat. they doesn't hurt and i feel fine otherwise. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Post tussive effects: Most likely some inflammation post coughing like pop vessels from a cough and the local inflammatory redness may take while to subside even after antibiotics did the job. No reason to be concerned

Question 8

ive had raised, orange-ish marks (scratch mark shaped and round dots) in the back of my throat for a few months now. ive also noticed some whitepatchs?

Accepted Answer

Swab: If there is no pain or difficulty swallowing there is no need to be concerned. If you can see a white coating then this could be the beginning of a streptococcal throat infection or yeast infection of the throat. If the symptoms are not resolving over 24 hrs,see your dr to get a swab done

Question 9

a few moments after oral sexual activity i noticed red dots on the back of my throat. could it be due to suctioning? no other symptoms are present?

Accepted Answer

: Never heard of that and seems unlikely unless you sucked very hard and then probably unlikely too.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Smoker?: On inhaled (oral or nasal) steroids? Immune compromise? Could be fungal growth with staining from smoke. Might be abnormal growth. Needs good ENT exam and sampling for testing to determine exactly what is going on. See an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist soon.
