i have small red dots with white centers scattered across the roof of my mouth. They are really sore. This doesnt feel like the strep Ive had before and my lymph nodes arent swollen. The dots arent swollen or pussy or in my tonsils, just the hard roof of my mouth.  I had a cold for about a week and a half but my sore throat is better now. I used zinc and cough drops constantly over the course of the week - could these little sores be from irritation of the zinc and cough drops? I had an STD test for a Visa and I have no STDs. I am very healthy and dont smoke or drink.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Roof of the mouth or the palate can become sore, or it can develop a burning sensation due to May cause which can include Chat Doctor. * Since you have a history of cold and cough, this could have triggered the formation of this lesion. I would advise you to get your throat infection checked with the ENT surgeon and have it treated. Avoid too much of over the counter medicines. Avoid spicy and hot foods. Avoid irritating the lesions by using toothpicks or by hard brushing. Apply a denote /McCoppin gel on the lesion two or three times a day, Take nutritious food and lead a stress-free life. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
