I have the same thing and still no answers.I think it may be an allergy to meds.A chemical reaction caused by meds.You say you take some meds for 5 years,well 8 now if you are still doing meds.I do oxy-neo and this all started when I started that med.So I have to really try to quite my pain pills because I am going nuts with headaches from coughing up stuff from my throat.Post something if you found out anything>>
I was already treated for strep throat and thats not it.
I talked to my doctor about the Probiotic Acidophilus and he said, that I could just eat Yogurt. If this is true then the little pimples should be gone because I eat yogurt all the time.
Isn't that what strep throat is supposed to look like? I'm just thinking it sounds more viral.
It sounds to me like they could be canker sores, they are pimple like bumps that can sometimes be found in the mouth and they hurt, especially if you eat salty foods.
It could be GERD due to improper digestion and not being able to assimilate your food well, try a good acidophilus pro-biotic, this is a must actually for what you are describing, in some folks, it has done wonders.
I don't know why so many docs just give us a stupid stare, it is so disheartening, and it is rude to not answer your question, Geesh.
