Strep Throat Treatment
Group A streptococcus bacteria is the main reason behind the disease in humans. Conditions such as swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck and loss of appetite are seen in individuals suffering from strep throat.

Trauma in Hard pallet in mouth
Dear Doctor, Something pricked the inside of my mouth on July 2nd. Three days later, it turned into a wound-like sore. Even now, five days later, it hasn't healed. It hurts when I eat or press against it with my tongue, though there is no pain or bleeding otherwise. Please suggest a treatment; I am worried.
Throat Discomfort
I’ve had mild throat discomfort since around June 4. The pain is about 2/10, occurs randomly around 7–8 times a day, lasts only 1–3 seconds, and is not consistent. After visiting a general physician and taking the prescribed medication, the stinging pain resolved. However, I now occasionally experience random episodes of dry throat. I’m also currently getting a wisdom tooth on the same side. I’ve attached a photo of my throat for reference (my tonsils have been visibly enlarged since childhood). I’m also very anxious because I gave oral sex to my boyfriend in 2023 and 2024. Last year, he developed an HPV wart on his palm, which was diagnosed by a doctor. He has never had any genital warts. I’m worried whether my current throat symptoms could be related to HPV and would like to know if any evaluation or tests are necessary.
