Well now I am just scared to deep throat again. After my post here I decided to look at my throat in the mirror with a flashlight, and wow was I shocked. One side of my uvula was extremely red and irritated and had white spots all on it and my whole uvula was huge, and the back of my throat was all torn up with small red blister looking things. I freaked out thinking I had contracted some STD in my throat since it sort of looked like I had strep but the rest of my body didn’t feel sick. I called my doctor and they saw me the next day, it wasn’t an STD or strep, they told me my throat was just very irritated, inflamed, and in some spots rubbed raw. They told me I couldn’t do much about it but to let my body heal, they did give me a prescription for a numbing mouth wash to use which didn’t help much. I was so embarrassed and now I am scared to try that ever again!!!
