In my palate (soft), there is a kind of small pimple and I think it is an oral ulcer. Is it normal to have an ulcer there?

Hello Ma'am,

Yes it is possible to have an ulcer really anywhere in the mouth (except on the teeth...).

When the ulcer is associated with a sore throat, it is sometimes because the little virus that gives you a sore throat (not necessarily the coronavirus) has caused so much inflammation that it has created an ulcer.

In any case, I recommend that you rest, drink plenty of water, avoid irritating foods (acidic, sweet, salty), and take Tylenol™ for spikes in pain.

Happy end of day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
