I got this big nasty ulcer at the back of my throat, making innocuous actions like swallowing saliva feel like eternal torture. The really deadly combination is that the more conscious I am of the pain, the more saliva I have.

It's keeping me awake at night, and its deep down my throat so I can't easily apply any cream at it. Is there any remedy or shall I just have to outlive this stubborn ulcer

Can try gurgling antiseptic mouthwash to relieve the pain. Then see a western doctor for antibotics or a Chinese physician. I recommend physician YuHong (HP 91859608) at Beauty World. He might still b around at the clinic at this hour.

is it hfmd?

try honey. its soothing

Try watermelon powder spray... Is it strep throat???

Eat ice-cream.

I always have ulcers on my mouth or throats or cut, seen few doctors, realised one medicine can solve this problem, You can purchase Oracort E, Tarco (small tube of 5 gram - cost less than $10) which can help you to solve it. This cream can be purchased at any parmacy (without doctor's prescrip). When you have apply the cream 1st time, you will not like as it is quite concentrated, apply before you sleep, however the next day it can rinse away by clear water before you brush your teeth. Appy for a few days, it will recover .

If you have bad sore throat , like something struck in the throat, you can also buy Difflam (has green colour. lemon, etc). This is a fast relief of sore throats. With combination of these two items, sure get relieve your throats. Drink plenty of water , almost every half an hour to relieve the heatiness. All can be purchased at pharmacy, not offshelf. Never use the normal orange lozenges ( doesnt work , take too long to recover).

If you doesnt, pls consult the doctor for further advice. Maybe antibotics may require due to throat infection.

Would you believe that my colleague actually gave me one of this thing in the office. I was sceptical at first. But now that you mention it too, perhaps I should be more open minded and try on Mon. Thanks.

Hey, maybe you're that colleague of mine. Ok I'm no going to probe further, keke.
