Accepted Answer

See your doc: You need to be evaluated for infection. You may need antibiotics and additional care to speed your recovery. Until then salt water gargles, anti inflamatories and warm packs may help.  If you are unable to drink enough to stay hydrated, are drooling because you can't swallow your saliva, or have fever or chills seek care immediately.

Question 7

sore throat, abcess on uvula, white puffy tonsils, red spots on the roof of my mouth, and some white spots around the uvula, what's wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Pharyngitis: It sounds like you have an infection of the pharynx.  You should be tested for strep throat, which requires antibiotics for treatment.  A good physical examination from a licensed professional is also necessary to rule out any more potentially serious problems such as paratonsillar abscess.  Seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Question 8

sore throat, white lumpy tonsils, red spots on the roof of mouth, nasty taste, with an abcess on the uvula, also some white spots, what's wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Sore throat: Looking at what you describe you may have a bacteria infection of your throat. You should see your doctor or go into an urgent care to get a rapid test done to see if you need antibiotics.

Question 9

what are the white spots inside my babys mouth?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Those white spots in your baby's mouth can be thrush. This is an infection with a fungus called candida that is common in babies. It causes white plaques on the tongue and mouth that can occasionally bleed. An oral anti-fungal medicine can help eliminate the infection, especially if it makes it uncomfortable for your baby to feed.

Question 10

do the white spots in my babys mouth mean he has thrush?

Accepted Answer

Its possible: Whiteness on a baby's tongue is likely to be due to milk or thrush.  If you can wipe it off then it was likely milk residue.  If you can't, it may be thrush and you may need a prescription for Nystatin (anti-fungal medicine) from your pediatrician.
