Aching jaw sore throat
Common Questions and Answers about Aching jaw sore throat
sore
Dry sore eyes. Heavy eyelids, constant black bags. Tender head, aching forehead, ears, temple, jaw bone - also clicks now and then and gets stiff when chewing.
I am 19, no drinker, non smoker male. I have been feeling ill for about 5 months now. Not this but supposedly stress and anxiety.
Does this sound like a flu type illness or something else?
Many Thanks.
Hi, hoping to get some insight here, because I'm really afraid.
It all started about three months ago with a feeling of a lump in my throat. Not an actual lump, but the feeling of one, right below where my adam's apple would be (I'm female though). I'd feel it on and off through the day, sometimes not so bad, and sometimes very noticeable. When I eat or drink anything it gets better though, the feeling of the lump goes away.
She said she gets tested every 3 months. 3 wks ago I started with sore throat and enlarged painful lymph nodes below jaw, below ears & still have all that. Went to doctor who prescribed Amoxicillin but said "probably viral". Both armpits have been aching with one half-pea sized node one each side since 1 wk. Groin on both sides and back of knee aching since 1 day. No fever or rash till now.
My glands in my neck (just under jaw bone and down side of neck) have had a dull ache for the last week or so. i havent acquired a sore throat and feel fine in myself although sometime have had headaches as well.
Today the right side of my groin has started a dull ache as well...could these be connected due to the glands in the areas...
no other glands appear to aching (armpit and stomach)
I have just been taking ibuprofen for the time being.
The swollen feeling makes me feel like my throat and upper chest feel very constricted. I still have aching in the armpits at times where if I massage that area it feels sore. I can get these enflamed, tingling, prickly sensations in the armpit area that extends to my upper chest and arms. Also have felt fatigued at times, and had stiff neck and stiff shoulder muscles.
I went to the doctor and he felt for any lumps in my armpits, neck and groin and did not find any.
Two days ago I suddenly got a sore throat, yesterday my nose started running and I had swollen lymph nodes under my jaw. Today I have sinus pains, and a stuffy nose.
My mother is of the opinion that all of this is consistent with a flu, which I have never before had. I was vaccinated against the flu in January (five months ago), though I know there are many different strains. What do you think? Does this sound like the flu?
Your persistent symptoms of sore throat, ear pain and lymph node swelling could be due to a throat infection, most probably streptococcal or a viral infection. Strep sore throat needs to be treated with an antibiotic as strep is a bacteria. Viral sore throat is best treated with rest, warm oral fluids and (OTC) Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain.
Week 5 and I have developed a stiff neck and what could be swollen nodes in the back of my neck (not sure as I have been poking around!) and aching nodes (not swollen) under my jaw line. I have also had a periodic sore throat for the last 3-4 days, made better temporary whilst eating and drinking. Does this sound anything like ARS, and can ARS occur after 4 weeks?
Also where I am based there is only the Elisa test for HIV, when is the earliest this can give an accurate reading?
Then, a day later I woke up with an incredibly painful, aching throat, not a sore throat, but it felt like something was wrong below my chin and around my neck, and at the base of my skull. It was very bad for a few days, then began to subside a little. Since then for these past two weeks I have had aches all around my neck, particularly below my jaw and at the back edges of my jaw, as well as a sore spot near the base of my neck. My shoulders and joints have also started aching a little.
I started taking Zyrtec with some relieve from aching glands in my upper throat, under the jaw area. Seems to help some. Aches not fully gone though.
I have Hashi's. Have been on Synthorid and just switched to Armour. With some success, not much. Seems to have helped with some of the body aches. However, right after I switched, began more throat and gland aching with a day or two of tongue swelling. I added a B12 and am looking into the Selenium choice too.
Herpes rash between my legs no sore throat. Herpes gladiatorium is hsv1 rash. And the differences between the two are their location. If my jaw pain and rash is hsv1 then that's something. I was told I got a swollen face. It feels bad after flossing I bleed gingivitis I had before put on the numbing gel like analgesic like orajel cheaper brand my face hurts i got the nerves numb from that. Can't open my mouth now. Jaw been aching. I thought from too much oral sex.
Thank you for your comment. I really don't know if it's TMJ as I wear a splint at night so that I don't grind my teeth. but joint arthritis could be it as I have arthritis in other joints.
Today I awoke feeling fine, but later noticed the other ear was aching and teeth on the other upper side were a little sore....couldn't exactly call it toothache.
I am pretty certain I don't have any gum disease as I am fanatical about dental hygiene.
It is constant throbbing and ripping feeling in my jaw, aching teeth, and burning throat. I have been to see so many specialists over the years and the closest i hav gotten to a diagnosis is possible atypical neuralgia. Now I have noticed a small pea sized lump on my jaw just in front of my earlobe. It is hard and semimoveable when i do move it it makes my eye twitch or sends a shock to my ear. is it possible that is what is causing my pain as I have this lump on both sides of my face.
I have had jaw pain for many days, only on one side, now i have ear and throat pain on the same side, and my jaw hurts so bad, like I had been punched (or so I assume) really har din the jaw. It hurts to eat, and I have pain in my ear and a sore throat.....can anyone give me advise? Bad sinuses? Time to go the Dr?
I have had a sore throat for almost 14 days now, accompanied by infrequent stabbing pain in my jaw. I know that it's not normal to have a sore throat for this long (it's on my right side, same side as jaw pain) and I'm starting to become concerned. I saw a dentist, thinkin that it was tooth related, but the dentist said he could not attribute it to any tooth problems. He took my temp, felt glands, applied pressure to gums. Nothing, but the pain still persists. What could it be ?
I have severe throat pain on left side mainly underneath jaw and at bottom of throat. Seems to be set off by acidic foods, or swallowing bulky rough items. I have never had a sore throat like this before -- I have no other symptoms no cold, no runny nose, no cough etc. It has not gotten any better after a kind of 2 day onset 6 days ago. Yawning really hurts severely.
