I have A red rash soft palate and uvula it has been 48 hours I noticed it I m not sure if its a food allergy or bacterial. it feels like a lump in my throat after I eat it feels aggravated and my tongue has a bit of a numb feeling at times...I drank some coconut water with pineapple pulp thru a straw and I have never drank that much before also had some cantaloupe that was over ripe not sure which of these could be the culprit? I took a couple doses of Benadryl the first day and there wasn t much change and I ve used a home remedy of essential oils as a gargle and salt water gargle but still not much change
Hi. Well your explanation is pointing more towards allergic reaction and not bacteria. Feeling of lump in throat or numb feeling of tongue can be due to allergic reaction only. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical examination can be done for confirmation For now you should take antihistamine like Levocetrizine or Allegra and along with it suck ice pops. Do cold water gargles. Avoid hot and spicy foods. Take soft and bland meals, take a because daily for a week. Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if I can assist you further. Regards.
