Abscess strep throat

Common Questions and Answers about Abscess strep throat

abscess

Avatar m tn I am concerned because in addition to these abscesses I also have had repeat strep throat infections where all of the infections have come back positive for Strep Type G (never type A). Like the abscesses these infections present quickly (less than 12 hours) and within a day I have a fever and severe pain. Additionally the throat infections have been progressively getting worse (i.e. they are now prescribing pain relievers so I can eat).
Avatar n tn Strep throat, my boyfriend has the same problem right now.
Avatar f tn In early March he developed a fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. He saw a doctor and strep throat and mono were ruled out as a cause. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 3 times a day for 10 days. He felt fine after a couple of days and all was well. But about two weeks later the same symptoms returned (w/ a fever of 101.6) and the doctors ruled out strep and mono once again and put him on the same medication regimen. Could his symptoms possibly stem from a tooth abscess??
Avatar m tn About 3 years ago I had a returning throat abscess and ate about 4 cures of antibiotics before my tonsillits were removed. So, my 7 infections this year is without any tonsillits. The doctors I have met, specialists in ear, nose and throat disorders, have no clue and still just keeps on giving me antibiotics. Therefore I am seeking help online and wonder, what could be the cause of all the infections?
Avatar f tn It could most probably be tonsillitis and a throat infection. Throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, scratchiness in the throat, post nasal drip, malaise and loss of appetite are symptoms of tonsillitis. It can be caused by bacteria like streptococcus or it could be a viral infection. Bacterial infections need antibiotics. Infections in the throat cause lymph node enlargement. As, it is subsiding with the infection, it is the most likely cause.
Avatar m tn That lasted about a week, as soon as those symptoms started to fade away I got a sore throat, but only on my right side. That was 2 weeks ago and I still have the sore throat. What gives? Again, all other symptoms are gone except for the sore throat. What could this be?
702286 tn?1239011660 I was working with a Dremel tool making jewelry. I laid down for a while because the tip of my finger hurt so bad. Like a fool I put ice on it. Then went to bed with a hot pack. As I laid there I could feel the infection draw through my finger into my hands and down my arm. I turned on the light. Look and saw the red line and knew I was in deep S..t. After a very long night in the ER, I was moved to the heart hosp because I was now in heart issues.
Avatar m tn Had a mild sore throat/irritation on 24/11/12 and proceed to check on my throat and notice 3-5mm blisters/bumps/sores skin colored on tonsils and still having it now. Do you think its a new infection of HSV 2 of it is a recurrence of my HSV 1? Many thanks.
Avatar n tn I wasn't sure what topic to put this under so I went with colds because I've been sick for a little over a week now. I started out having a really sore throat to the point where I couldn't talk. It cleared up and then I developed a runny nose which also is showing signs of stopping. My throat hasn't hurt for a few days until I woke up today I noticed it was uncomfortable when I swallow.
Avatar m tn Tonsillectomy is advised if there is recurrent streptococcal tonsillitis, recurrent peritonsillar abscess and chronic tonsillitis. Also, repeated strep throat infections are an indication for tonsillectomy, as the tonsils may harbor the infection which keeps flaring up, or they may develop new infections. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn I know strep and allergies are definitely two different things, but it could be that if he has an allergy issue, his nasal passages and throat get irritated from that and then an infection occurs - the strep throat. This past winter I, myself, got strep throat twice and pneumonia once - the first bout of strep actually landed me in the hospital for 4 days.
Avatar m tn 2 doctors told me I had strep.. second one tested for strep came back positive.. could 2 doctors be wrong about this? Thanks !!
Avatar n tn As far as the concerns go regarding strep throat....Consider your drinking water a source. We were on well water and were informed that the constant strep throat infection my kids had could be coming from the water they were drinking. Strep can be passed through water. Ever since we have been on bottled water we have been in the clear. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/283902'>recurring strep throat in our family</a>.
1310633 tn?1430224091 I have strep, they kiss me, the virus is now on their lips, they kiss my wife and pass it along to her) Sorry is this is a fundamentally stupid question... it's just never come up before, as neither my wife nor I have ever had strep-throat.
Avatar m tn It's highly likely you're going to get strep throat. The incubation period for streptococci is 2-5 days so you should be feeling something around now.
9309926 tn?1405447056 t seen it after a strep throat. Sore throats can often be caused aby viruses and not strep. With a strep throat you usually get a high fever. Sometimes you can also get swollen lymph nodes under the neck. You don't always get pus (white spots on the tonsils or back of the throat) but you usually do. Strep throat can become serious so they do have to watch you. Sometimes it does go away on its own. I would definitely get the swab done.
Avatar f tn I'm pretty sure i have strep throat but cant afford to go to the dr.
Avatar f tn Now I have strep throat. How dangerous is it for baby?
