A member asked:

Sore throat with painful bumps on soft patella?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral infections: can cause oral lesions. Try topical anesthetics for comfort. If it persists for more than a week or so, seek medical attention to make sure that it is not anything more serious such as oral cancer.
