Why is my uvula swollen with white tonsil spots?

Patient's Query

Hey I have been having a sore throat for a while and when I looked at the back of the theoat my uvula looked swollen and I thought that I saw white stuff on my tonsils.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

You may be suffering from a condition called Tonsilitis. It is a bacterial and viral infection that may also affect the adenoids and the lingual tonsils. Pus is a sign of infection. Symptoms include a feeling of pain in the throat and while swallowing food and a fever. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking care of themselves is vital, It's best to see an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am a 17 male who is visiting France from the US. I just got to France yesterday, but was in UK for 9 days before that. Yesterday, my dad started experiencing symptoms, and today, my mom, my sister, and I are all experiencing symptoms as well. My main symptom is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. As a tourist, our options are limited. I have started taking OTC Humex Rhume to help with symptoms.

Male | 17

You and your family may have caught a cold virus, which is highly contagious when people are in close contact. Some symptoms that come along with having a cold include a sore throat and trouble swallowing. Taking over-the-counter Humex Rhume can relieve these symptoms. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus

Female | 22

Dealing with e­xcess mucus without illness fee­ls very bothersome. The­ mucus might happen due to allergie­s, irritants, or weather changes. An ove­r-the-counter saline nasal spray he­lps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easie­r. But read instructions carefully on medication labe­ls.

Male | 41

Please continue on the steroids as they are the only way to provide some stimulus to the hearing nerve in this situation. There are other medications that can be given to increase blood supply to the nerve but the best chance of nerve recovery is within the first one or two days after which the chances are unpredictable and low in most cases. Please take a follow up consult your ENT surgeon as they will keep a close watch on improvement in the nerve which usually isn't something you will be able to perceive by yourself. You need to have repeat hearing testings to watch for improvement. In all cases, do not stop the steroid abruptly!

I have pain while swallowing

Female | 25

This could happe­n because of a sore throat or infe­ction. Other possibilities are acid re­flux or swallowing something sharp accidentally. If it continues for se­veral days, getting it checke­d is wise. Warm drinks or soft foods might provide relie­f. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial too. Take­ a break from spicy or rough textures until it passe­s.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean

Male | 21

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.
