Hard to say: As with any odd physical change with symptoms it's best to have an MD take a look. Gargle with warm salt water. Sleep with a humidifier to keep tissue hydrated. If smoking - please stop as that can cause tissue color changes and irritation. http://symptoms.rightdiagnosis.com/cosymptoms/mouth-lesions/throat-infection.htm
