The throat pain was not agonizing, and rather irritating. If strep were an 8-9/10, this was a 4-5/10. I went to an urgent care on 12/23, but didn't disclose the encounter. They did a strep swab, which was negative. The doctor gave me Doxycycline 100mg 2x/day for 10 days.
Taking the Doxy I noticed my symptoms improved, however after a while my throat symptoms were not getting much better and seemed to stagnate.
On 1/2 I saw my primary doctor and told her about the encounter.
Went to the dr in late November for strep throat and a sinus infection, tested negative for strep but I have cobblestone throat and my left tonsil is inflamed. My doctor said I have some pus behind It & I have a small hole on my tonsil as well. My throat does not hurt and I no longer have any symptoms. I have taken both azthromycin and doxycycline. My throat still looks the same. My doctor has said just to keep an eye on it. Should I just go ahead and go to an ENT?
t think it matters, but I have had a sore throat the last three days and I just tested positive for strep throat a few hours ago.] I have also have little rash dots on my abdomen and a few other spots on my body, but I think that it's related to the strep.
I was also tested for HIV antibodies 12 days after to establish a baseline and again at 31 days; both negative.
I have a purple bruise line on the glans, but no bumps, blisters, or ulcers on or in my genital area.

The epididymitis started one day after being there and my testicle swelled way up that’s why l went to the doc and he prescribed doxycycline but all these symptoms of come and go during all this
They checked for strep, gonorrhea and nongonococcal causes of the pharyngitis, however, because I had self medicated with antibiotics, a urethral culture was not done. The strep test was negative & throat labs came back negative. I was prescribed cefixime and doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 7 days. The pharyngitis was actually resolving itself by the next day before I had even started antibiotics, however I proceeded to take the prescribed antibiotics.
About 2 days after oral sex she went to Dr. with a sore throat. I looked at throat and it was 2 red bumps with white center. Dr. said it looked wierd to her and prescribed 10 days of 500 mg of Leviquin. Dr. told her to see an ENT 3 days later. ENT said it was not cancer, could see red bumps but not white spots and likely a common throat infection. He took a swab of her throat. I then went to get tested and came back positive for Gonorrhoeae, negative for Chlamydia.
Thus, what you most likely have is a viral sore throat or at worst, strep throat. If it is strep throat and it could well be you need treatment. Thus I would suggest that if it si not clearly viral and has lasted more than a day or two, you get checked but that you not worry about gonorrhea.
Based on what I've just said, it also follows that I can assure you that your GF is not at risk,
hope this helps.

But in general, your birth control will not be affected by any run-of-the-mill antibiotic that you might be taking for things like sinus infections, strep throat, urinary tract infections, skin infections, acne, etc. Some people believe that because antibiotics disrupt the normal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, they will interfere with the absorption of the birth control pills from your stomach.
A week ago I found a red, painless sore on the underside of my penis near the frenulum, on the inner foreskin. It's a bit painful when I touched it, and there's some pus inside the sore. I went to the doctor and got doxycycline 7 days and chloramphenicol gel for topical Tx.
I forgot to mention DID have a fever (and my glans penis became slightly redder) and the doctor diagnosed me with both Strep throat and Mono, but strep throat goes away in 3 to 7 days without treatment, and probably even more quickly with treatment. I KNOW FOR A FACT I had strep throat AND a virus. Thanks to my negative mono test, my anxiety soared and I began to think it was HIV.
Okay - I've seen this question asked a million places and a million different ways but none of the answers were the same and none of the questions were very much like my situation so I figured I'd give it a try (sorry if you've seen this a ton of times before!).
My boyfriend is in the military and the last two times I've gone to visit him on base I have performed unprotected oral sex and gotten strep throat.
My brother tested positive for strep throat today and I've been around him..they're supposed yo induce on Monday. If I am to come down with strep will they still induce? How soon will strep affect me if I've caught it? And is there anything I can do meanwhile to help fight any bacteria I've already been exposed to?
Back in May my left cheek hurt for a few minutes and then swelled up, and stayed swollen for days. I was told by an urgent care doc it was probably a virus, and I did get a bad sore throat & tonsil which were very swollen and red. Also had fatigue, muscle aches, slight fever of 99.0 to 99.6 and earaches. After a month I was still sick, so my regular GP gave me a strep test, blood work and UA, all came back fine.
t educated as much, after tat happened to him around the same time I started to get sick again and found out I had acute pharyngitis and while I was the I had std test and request a throat swab ,still waiting to hear back, they gave me 4tablets of azithromycin 250mg for being exposed and amoxicillin for my pharyngitis. Since the std is all new to me I've been w one person for the past 7years he's cheated.

1) some type of unusual infectious agent bacterial or viral and not the usual strep throat, 2) bacteria lodged inside the tonsils where food can accumulate and promote infection, 3) tumors, usually benign that can harbor bacteria, 4) infection beyond the visible part of the throat as in the adenoids or epiglottis and, 5) throat trauma such as could be seen with a chicken bone lodged in your throat.
Hi everyone, recently I went to the doctor with a nasty sore throat that had started to get swollen and accumulate white spots. He tested me for strep and found that it was not that, and my lymph nodes are not swollen for it to be mono. He said it was a viral infection that should last about three to four days. Anyway, the next day, I performed oral sex on my boyfriend. The day after that, I realized the infection had gotten even worse (at least to me). Could this have exacerbated the problem?
A week ago I found a red, painless sore on the underside of my penis near the frenulum, on the inner foreskin. It's a bit painful when I touched it, and there's some pale-yellowish pus inside the sore. The pus-filled area looked raised with a definite, flat border. I went to the doctor and got doxycycline 7 days and chloramphenicol gel for topical Tx.
So I went in to the doctor yesterday, and was prescribed doxycycline. The doctor told me he thinks its bacterial. IS there anything else other than hand/foot/mouth that can cause painful white sores all over the whole mouth (gums, tongue, roof of mouth, back of tongue)? He also told me he wouldn't test me until next week, after the doxy.
Also of people get fever and feel really sick with a strep inection but sometimes all you have is a chronic sore throat. If you let a strep infection go for a long time without treatment it can make you seriously ill and could even kill you.That is rare but it does happen. Go to the doc. A simple exam and maybe a throat swab should reveal the cause of your sore throat. Good luck, hope you feel better.
