question: last week my throat became sore and my glands in throat became tender. I had no other cold symptoms. Then two days ago I started with what felt like blisters on the soft palette of my mouth. My glands have now returned to normal and my throat, though it still feels scratcy, feels a lot better but my tongue feels as though it has been scalded. It has tiny red bumps on it and eating is very panful. What could it be?
