Common Questions and Answers about Laryngitis viral or bacterial

laryngitis

Avatar m tn Will Herpes Laryngitis/Pharyngitis cause no sores in the mouth, tounge or lips? Is this some kind of bacterial infection or viral infection? Any suggestions highly appreciated. I took an appointment for next week with my ENT.I see the transmission rate of 4% with unprotected sex from female to male with HSV1 genitally. I have also attached the pic for skin rash that occured on my skin.
Avatar f tn I get laryngitis after bouts of sinus infections or colds. I think it comes about from the infectious post nasal drip that constantly runs down my throat. It gets pretty terrible. The last time I had it was for 2 weeks or so. You really need to rest, drink plenty of fluids. If it's from an infection then you need to try to flush that infection out. I will get laryngitis also from constantly trying to clear my throat as well.
Avatar m tn I just wonder if the incident with the masseuse gave me some obscure viral infection which no one seems to know anything about or could it be HPV or BV or something else. I am desperate to find a cure and wonder if you can help. Anxiously waiting to hear as this thing is totally stressing me out. Gordon.
Avatar f tn My son did just get over viral laryngitis that turned to bacterial laryngitis. He was treat with a Ceftin type drug for 14 days. He also to 60mg of steriod for 3 days, could not talk for 9 days. During this he was checked by an ENT. Yes, he has only been seen by Neuro. He had a sinus xray last year and a CAT Scan, 11-08. All were clear. He had an MRI in 11-09 when hospitalized for migraine, we went in level 8, left at level 6 apin level. That time torodol iv push worked.
Avatar m tn Acute laryngitis caused by allergies, viral infection, chronic laryngitis and laryngoesophageal reflux all can cause hoarseness and voice difficulties. Rare but serious causes producing these symptoms are vocal cord paralysis and vocal cord tumours.Please see your Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) for an evaluation. A detailed clinical examination and tests can help in determining the cause. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!

Avatar n tn I wnet to a Doctor before getting on my return flight and he said he thought I had laryngitis likely caused by a viral infection. Therefore, he did not prescribe antibiotics. It has been about 9 days since the sexual encounter and I am wondering what my risk factors are. Could the oral sex have exposed me to an STD taht would cause a sore throat and laryngitis? If so, which STD would be most likely?

Avatar m tn For the time being, voice rest, staying hydrated (no caffeinated drinks including tea) and as a prevention -in case it is infectious laryngitis- coconut oil consumption will help, as it is naturally anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. 2-5 tablespoons daily, but start with 2T and gradually increase.. Hope this helps, however, my comments and suggestions are not intended as replacement for medical advice.
Avatar n tn This could be something benign and self-limited like a viral laryngitis or some vocal abuse. This just requires time, keeping quiet and drinking fluids. Other, less common and possibly more serious possibilities exist. You should see a doctor if it doesn't get better.
Avatar m tn Was what I experienced in August-September ARS concurrent with bacterial laryngitis, or was this just a bacterial infection of the throat and I'm now letting fear and anxiety cause all these symptoms? Getting really scared here.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I have a question maybe someone can help me with. I went to my MD last wednesday and he put me on an antibiotic for an upper respiratory infection. The only sx. I had at the time was a temp of 102.8 and a stuffy nose. Well I took the antibiotic and my fever continued spiking to 101.4 but tylenol was effective. On day five of antibiotic therapy I started having yellow secretions from nose and a continued with fever.
Avatar m tn t tell me what it was. Should I be worried? Does it sound like a bacterial irritation of a hair gland or viral?
Avatar m tn Saw my doctor and the consensus was that it was a viral laryngitis type of sickness. Though at the time (3rd day) did not have any visible issues in throat. Then developed into a more congested mucousal cough. Headaches and fatigue throughout the majority of sickness. I have since developed sort of bumps or nodules in the back of my throat which seem odd to me. I have had strep multiple times and usually develop more the classic white spots, this is different.
Avatar f tn m 28 weeks and juat getting over a viral infection, sinus infection, laryngitis and pink eye, I was givin amoxicillin and was able to take tylonol, unfortunately that all...
Avatar f tn ad endoscopyseveral months afo and was negative for GERD. The pulmonologist said it was laringer spasms and a viral infection in vocal cords. Hospitalized for 3 weeks. Home on 20 days of oral steroids, flovent and nebulizer treatments. I am not feeling better.The coughng and the raspy, hoarse voice is still there and the gasping for air and choking continues but has gotten a little better.
Avatar f tn Now I have post nasal drip and my laryngitis is still there although getting better. I have done everything for the laryngitis, steam, cool mist humidifier, room temperature water (about twelve 8oz glasses a day), resting my voice. It is getting better very slowly. Now I have a post nasal drip and I am coughing up greenish/yellowish sputum but it's from the back of my throat not my lungs anymore. I am going to try a nasal rinse today.
Avatar f tn I know viral infections are not contagious, but I'm pretty sure bacterial infections are.
Avatar n tn If you temperature keeps fluctuating, going up and down, you may have an infection which may be a bacterial or a viral one. It is still worth making an appointment to see your doctor to check you out. If the doctor feels it is a bacterial infection, you will get prescribed with an antibiotic. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Avatar f tn I am 20 year old male, 4 days ago I had sex with with 30+- year old woman. The next day I noticed a small pus pouch on my left tonsil; l also had a minor pain in the neck region. I immediately went to a clinic to get tested for any STDs but the clinic was closed. I went to see the doctor yesterday and he prescribed me antibiotics, 10 day treatment ,3 times per day.
Avatar f tn Hi, I went to ent the other day he used a camera to check my throat hes sent me for ultrasound scan and a CT scan due to a suspicious lump he says he thinks its an abcess or ulcer but couldnt see how big it was, now curious if it is an abcess or ulcer how on earth can it be removed as I have a few of them and antibiotics have never cleared them ?
