I have a red dot on my uvula?
I just found a little red dot on my uvula (thing that hangs at the back of your throat) and it doesn't hurt, but is a little uncomfortable. Does anybody know what this could be??
Help?! Red dots on my uvula and more!?
It sounds like you have a bacterial infection in your upper respiratory tract, in the nasal passages and/or sinuses and possibly your throat. The red dots on the mucosa of your uvula or other areas of your throat could be something called "patechiae," which are tiny spots of ruptured blood vessels in that mucosa. This could be caused by a throat infection (combined with the rest of the infection), or from drainage of purulent mucus (which you very well described), or from coughing, sneezing, any vomiting, or even possibly from loss of natural bacteria you have in your GI system, which the antibiotics are killing off. It's hard to tell exactly. A good probiotic such as acidophillus can help re-colonize your stomach and GI system. You can get acidophillus by eating yogurt, or acidophillus milk from the market, or acidophillus or other probiotics at your pharmacy. Again, this is just one possible cause of the spots. It's also possible they were caused by a virus which may have led to the secondary bacterial infection. In any case, the antibiotics should take care of your other symptoms, and the red spots will go away on their own. The feeling of fluid running down the back of your throat is exactly what it is, but it's the mucus clearing out, not water. The dry mouth is likely due to mild dehydration. Bacterial infections pull a lot of water out of your body to wash out the yucky stuff. And you may be tasting the antibiotic (depending on what it is) or the mucus itself. Drinking lots and lots of water or juice (not milk or milk products, as they thicken the mucus) will speed healing. And if you don't get better after you finish your antibiotics, you should see your doctor. Z-pack disclaimer: If the antibiotics are azithromycin (commonly called a Z-pack,) you only take six pills for five days, and the antibiotics keep working for another five days, even though you run out of pills. So if you were on a Z-pack, give it another five days for symptoms to disappear. And again, rest, and fluids, fluids, fluids! Feel better!
Uvula has red dots on it?
this can very likely be streptococcus aureus. if your adenoids start to get red, and you develop pus filled white lesions on your tonsils, than you should worry about streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat).

I have had these red dots on my uvula, what can this mean?
.What you are describing may be uvular petechiae. Petechiae is defined as the following: "Petechiae result from tiny areas of superficial bleeding into the skin. They appear as round, pinpoint-sized dots that are not raised. The color varies from red to blue or purple as they age and gradually disappear."

Red spots on my uvula! Sore throat?
Since yesturday my throat was hurting. I woke up this norning and ny mouth was completely dried out and had todrink lots of water. The back of my throats feels different, almost like its swollen. I noticed that i have noticeable dark red lines on that dangly thing in the back of your throat, uvula or something. Im gargling salt and water morning and night. I thought ginger ale would work but nope. My nose is plugged, and idk if this helps but i threw up this morning. I felt better after, but for about a week or two my throat has became really dry. I drink lots of water but my mouth becomes completely dried and i feel so dehydraded when i have gym. Im thinking about going to the doctors. I had tonsillites twice but idk if its that.
