I have one swollen tonsil that won t seem to reduce in size. It started out sore and it just recently stop feeling that way and yet it s still swollen and I have a red patch on the roof of my mouth towards the front right corner that just appeared after almost 2 weeks of this tonsil being swollen. I m worried it might be an sti, is there a reason why it s like that?
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have swollen tonsils and rd patches on palate this can be due to throat infection or red patches on palate can be bacterial infection, Erythroleukoplakia, Burn, dermatitis Nicotine palate. I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for visual examination of oral cavity, in meanwhile you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.  You can take medicine like Azithromycin by consulting with your local doctor. Hope this will help you.
