I Have Red Spots On My Soft Palate
Hey Everyone, For the past couple weeks I've been experiencing painful swallowing. It almost feels like the back of my tongue is swollen.
My uvula and the area of my soft palate just above it is quite red and looks like maybe there is a few tiny little bumps. Three weeks ago I went to the doctor after being terribly ill for a week and a half. He said I either had 'walking pneumonia' or 'whooping cough' but had no diagnosis for me. He could've done blood work to find out what exactly was ailing me but said it would take up to two weeks to find out and in either case he would have just gave me antibiotics to make me non-contageous.
Red spot on the roof of your mouth causes concern. What Causes Red Spot on the Roof of Your Mouth? Choose bland and soft foods like porridge or mashed potatoes.
So, he just wrote me a presciption right then. I don't know if this is just a lingering part of whatever was wrong with me or what.

- Red spot on soft palate. I have red spot on my soft palate,it usually occurs after sneezing or usually at night.my inner ears and my throat begin to itch and thus.
Just for everyone's info, it couldn't be herpes related, I have no tonsils or adenoids and, if it matters, I suffer from ulcerative colitis. If anyone has any clues, please let me know. It's greatly appreciated:wink. I am on Day Eight of not being able to swallow fluids.
I can barely maintain proper hydration by eating oatmeal, mashed potatoes, pudding and applesauce. I was on an antibiotic for a sinus infection, but that led to a bad case of thrush. Throughout all of this, I've been faithfully using my Listerine Pre-Brush Whitening Rinse twice a day. One night it dawned on me that my tongue felt like wood. I called my dentist and he said many patients have had bad reactions to dental rinses.
They can cause sores all over the mouth. I think the rinse combined with the thrush has pretty much shut down my mouth and upper throat. I'm slowly getting better but wanted to spread the word that some problems may be caused or made worse by today's high intensity dental products. Good luck to all of you. Well this is the answer probly everyone has been waiting for i looked everywhere when it happened to be but nobody had an answer so heres mine. I actually have this right now painful bumps in mouth and swollen uvula hurts drinking liquids and all that good stuff but it will go away with time and actually with no treatment the bumps are actually swollen tastebuds called lie bumps they hurt like hell but its not a big deal they can take up to a week or more to go away but they will go away on thier own and so will the uvula swollen uvula is caused by dehydration,dry air,weakened immune system from cold or illness,breathing through mouth like when you wake up with a really dry mouth that can cause it. Also drinking or smoking heavily before bed or anytime of day,gargling hard.
Stuff like that its really bad at first its just bad pain best bet is to drink alot of water keep your mouth moist sucking on coughdrops also helps coat the mouth and throat basically you just gotta ride the storm wait it out dont panic it will go away if it doesnt show signs of reducing within a week and a half or 2 weeks you might need some medication to help it do its thing. I too have been smited by god by this ridiculous ailment. Incredibly painful swallowing, swollen everything thats in the back, I have no tonsils or adenoids or whatever, had a tonsilectomy in 2003 or 2004. I am going to be incredibly peeved if all this is dehydration. After going to the ER lastnight cause I can't afford a real doctor.:/ I have antibiotics being filled, luckily they are free, the pain meds the prescribe to everyone may not be. I have never been this irritable or irritated with life then I am rightnow.
UGH why me??? And you all too. I have had this very same condition since the spring of 1983. I am now 46 yrs old. I had it diagnosed by at least 5 different physicians and they ALL had the same diagnosis: HERPES. I used to have so many problems w/attacks.
The last 1 was in 1994 and I am now slowly recovering from the first and only attack I've had since '94. Many people don't understand how Herpes works. If you have type I or II, either can affect your mouth.whether it's on your lips, tongue, inside your cheeks, uvula, tonsils, palate, etc. Folks need to recognize it isn't just a virus that can affect only your lips! It generally starts out as a dull sore throat; as it progresses you may start to notice a slight feeling of coming down w/a cold, such as a runny nose, etc.
If you really take a mirror and look closely, you'll see the little clear blisters in the back of the throat and on the uvula. The uvula may swell and elongate, too. Feelings of dry throat/mouth and even a cough are usually part of this. After a few more days the blisters are very visible and the inside of the mouth, probably the entire back throat and soft palate will be very reddened. In a bad flare-up, you may need to see a doctor. You may not be able to eat/drink or sleep because of the pain and over-all feeling of sickness.
Do NOT touch any part of your mouth unless you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards because this virus can spread to other parts of the body, including the fingers and genitals and eyes. If, after several dys, maybe even 10 dys of all this suffering, you notice the reddness lightening up to a more pinkish color, you're probably on the mend, until the next time. Don't just assume it is or isn't herpes. There are meds available now which can help you. There was nothing available yet when I first had my diagnosis in 1983.
I am crying right now because the pain is UNBEARABLE!! My soft palate is red and swollen and my uvula is inflamed too with bumps on it.

It hurts like CRAZY to even swallow! I hadn't eaten anything for hours and wasn't planning to either because swallowing is a nightmare. But Igot really hungry and had some rice and veggies, which were slightly easier to swallow.
Swallowing liquids is the real nightmare. I do not want to go to a doctor and get prescribed antibiotics because I've been on a lot of antibiotics this year and probably had a weakened immune system.
I see most of us have this in common. I've noticed that my health is directly correlated to my diet and the results are almost immediate. In 2009 I was on the raw food diet 60% of the time and my health was never better. I rarely had colds and I had almost no bronchial problems, which used to bother me as a kid.
But the raw food diet made me extremely 'sensitive' and emotional. My emotions were greatly heightened, which is a great thing of course, but I didn't know how to deal with it and I decided to stop. Junk food dumbs down your senses and makes you apathic to the things around you. For the past 3 weeks I've been on a bad junk food diet, taking soft drinks 2ice a day, loads of chocolate and fries and now - this week, I have this terrible swollen uvula problem. I can't take it anymore! I sure hope I feel better when I wake up tomorrow!
Sorry for rambling. Writing about it has definitely helped me blow off some of the steam:) Hope we all get better, guys!:`(.
I have been experiencing the exact. Same thing, my uvula is extremely red and is very irritaed as it fells like it has been burning. To eat food and drink water it is very sore.
It keeps me up every night till around 3, but I. Have started to get a feeling in the back of my throat like there's somethhing in the back of my throat and I can't get it out. My mother has had this before she said that the burning sensation is normal. She believes that I just have tonsilitas butt here is no sign. I haven't been to the doctor, but I study this at school and I believe.
That it is just a virus or a infection and with plenty of water aand just paracetomol and patience it will go away, but it will take time, around 2-3 weeks, hopefully. If it hurts to swallow like mine does, you have to drink water a lot of it aswell andor hot drinks e.g. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or warm blackcurrrant juice. Even ice cream will help sooth the pain. I hope this helps.
Oral lesions (mouth sores) make it painful to eat and talk. Two of the most common recurrent oral lesions are fever blisters (also known as cold sores) and canker sores.
Though similar, fever blisters and canker sores have important differences. What are fever blisters? Fever blisters are fluid-filled blisters that commonly occur on the lips. They also can occur on the gums and roof of the mouth (hard palate), but this is rare. Fever blisters are usually painful; pain may precede the appearance of the lesion by a few days. The blisters rupture within hours, then crust over. They last about seven to ten days.
Why do fever blisters reoccur? Fever blisters result from a herpes simplex virus that becomes active. This virus is latent (dormant) in afflicted people, but can be activated by conditions such as stress, fever, trauma, hormonal changes, and exposure to sunlight. When lesions reappear, they tend to form in the same location.
Are fever blisters contagious? Yes, the time from blister rupture until the sore is completely healed is the time of greatest risk for spread of infection.
The virus can spread to the afflicted persons eyes and genitalia, as well as to other people. How are fever blisters treated? Treatment consists of coating the lesions with a protective barrier ointment containing an antiviral agent, for example 5% acyclovir ointment. While there is no cure now, scientists are trying to develop one, so hopefully fever blisters will be a curable disorder in the future.
Tips to prevent spreading fever blisters. Avoid mucous membrane contact when a lesion is present.
Do not squeeze, pinch, or pick the blisters. Wash hands carefully before touching eyes, genital area, or another person. Note: Despite all caution, it is possible to transmit herpes virus even when no blisters are present.
Why Do I Have Red Spots On My Legs
What are canker sores? Canker sores (also called aphthous ulcers) are different than fever blisters. They are small, red or white, shallow ulcers occurring on the tongue, soft palate, or inside the lips and cheeks; they do not occur in the roof of the mouth or the gums.
They are quite painful, and usually last 5-10 days. Who is most likely to get canker sores, and what causes them? Eighty percent of the U.S. Population between the ages of 10 to 20, most often women, get canker sores. The best available evidence suggests that canker sores result from an altered local immune response associated with stress, trauma, or irritation. Acidic foods (e.g., tomatoes, citrus fruits, and some nuts) are known to cause irritation in some patients. Are canker sores contagious?
How are they treated? Because they are not caused by bacteria or viral agents, they are not contagious and cannot be spread locally or to anyone else. Treatment is directed toward relieving discomfort and guarding against infection. A topical corticosteroid preparation such as triamcinolone dental paste (Kenalog in Orabase 0.1%®) is helpful. When should a physician be consulted? Consider consulting a physician if a mouth sore has not healed within two weeks. Mouth sores offer an easy way for germs and viruses to get into the body, so it is easy for infections to develop.
People who consume alcohol, smokers, smokeless tobacco users, chemotherapy or radiation patients, bone marrow or stem cell recipients, or patients with weak immune systems should also consider having regular oral screenings by a physician. The first sign of oral cancer is a mouth sore that does not heal. What kind of screenings are performed? The physician will most likely examine the head, face, neck, lips, gums, and high-risk areas inside the mouth, such as the floor of the mouth, the area under the tongue, the front and sides of the tongue, and the roof of the mouth or soft palate. If a suspicious lesion is found, the physician may recommend collecting and testing soft tissue from the oral cavity.
What are other types of oral lesions to be concerned about? Leukoplakia A thick, whitish-color patch that forms on the inside of the cheeks, gums, or tongue.
These patches are caused by excess cell growth and are common among tobacco users. They can result from irritations such as ill-fitting dentures or the habit of chewing on the inside of the cheek. Leukoplakia can progress to cancer. Candidiasis A fungal infection (also called moniliasis or oral thrush) that occurs when yeast reproduce in large numbers. It is common among denture wearers and most often occurs in people who are very young, elderly, debilitated by disease, or who have a problem with their immune system.
People who have dry mouth syndrome are very susceptible to candidiasis. Candida may flourish after antibiotic treatment, which can decrease normal bacteria in the mouth. Hairy tongue A relatively rare condition caused by the elongation of the taste buds. It can be caused by poor oral hygiene, chronic oral irritation, or smoking.
Torus palatinus A hard bony growth in the center of the roof of the mouth (palate). It commonly occurs in females over the age of 30 and rarely needs treatment. A torus palatinus is often seen in patients who suffer from tooth grinding. Occasionally it is removed for the proper fitting of dentures. Oral cancer It may appear as a white or red patch of tissue in the mouth, or a small ulcer that looks like a common canker sore. Other than the lips, the most common areas for oral cancer to develop are on the tongue and the floor of the mouth.
Other symptoms include a lump or mass that can be felt inside the mouth or neck; pain or difficulty in swallowing, speaking, or chewing; any wart-like mass; hoarseness that lasts for more than two weeks; or any numbness in the oral/facial region. Tips to prevent mouth sores. Stop smoking.
Reduce stress. Avoid injury to the mouth caused by hard tooth brushing, hard foods, braces, or dentures. Chew slowly. Practice good dental hygiene, including regular visits to the dentist. Eat a well-balanced diet. Identify and eliminate food sensitivities.
Drink plenty of water. Avoid very hot food or beverages. Follow nutritional guidelines for multivitamin supplements. Updated 12/10 Copyright © 2018 American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. Reproduction or republication strictly prohibited without prior written permission.
