laryngitis
Will this be Herpes Laryngittis/ pharyngitis? will viral Laryngitis/Pharyngitis get relief from antibiotics as I was feeling well in a day after I took them. 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.
Hello~I know you really can't afford to see a doctor, but in this case, I feel it is very important to do so. Your symptoms are very concerning and they do need attention.
On Monday I have flu like symptoms (killer sore throat, aches, headache, etc.). I go to the doc and she tells me I have pharyngitis or laryngitis (I don't remember), so she prescribes me amoxicillin and some days rest. 2-3 days later no progress and these two very small blisters appear on my bottom lip and I am faaaaareaking out.
I am going in today, but I wanted to ask if it is possible my doc made a mistake bc the blisters had not appeared yet?
The only problem is that I keep coming down with either strep throat, pharyngitis, laryngitis or the h flu every other month. I just recently came down with strep throat again and I'm wondering if there is anything that I can to to prevent getting sick. It as if I get it as soon as someone with as much as a cold walks by! Help! I'm tired of being sick and I know that being on antibiotics this much is not good!
Hello,
In some patients, acid can reflux into the throat causing inflammation of the back of the throat which can lead to pharyngitis, or into the vocal cords, which can lead to laryngitis and hoarseness. Although there are many other causes for sore throat and laryngitis, GERD should be suspected in a patient with chronic sore throat or other GERD symptoms or when no other cause can be found.
How long has this been going on? Have you been running fever? This could be a number of things such as laryngitis, pharyngitis, sinus drainage, tonsilitis or strep throat. If the problem persists or becomes worse, you should consult your physician.
The other possibility is that you have tonsillitis, pharyngitis or even laryngitis. Is there an accompanying cold or change of voice.
It is difficult to comment without examining. It could be simply a larger size epiglottis. It could be lingual thyroid that is causing symptoms now.
A cervical spine disease, esophageal contractions or anxiety can all cause similar symptoms. There are many other causes too.
Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor.
Can excessive psychogenic lachrymation cause pharyngitis/laryngitis or respiratory problems? If so, can it also(possibly/eventually) cause any major (as in medication/hospitalization requiring) problems such as internal hematoma/hemorrhaging, infections, MI etc. ? (hypathetical) i.e. pt crying for approx. 8 hrs before falling asleep. Pt coughing bloody sputum after waking, complaining of chest pain (r/o MI). Minor note: dry cough throughout sleep of approx.
Okay, since 1992 I have had lots of throat infections in 1995 I had my tonsils and adanoids removed to help however it never did. And still had aleast 7 throat infections and laryngitis a year but since January this year I have had 20suvere throat infections all with laryngitis.
However, a side effect of both medications is laryngitis. I recently had laryngitis for 6 weeks. It started as a virus and would not go a way. I decided it was my atrovent neb (an anticholinergic like Spiriva). My allergist thought it was my Dulera (inhaled combination med like Advair). I eliminated the atrovent and reduced my Dulera and the laryngitis healed.
She needs to discus any changes in dosage with her doctor before making changes.
As someone who is still recovering from acid reflux laryngitis, I will say that it took MONTHS for my voice to return. My laryngitis started in October 2009 and continued into April 2010 with slight improvements starting in late February. When I was first diagnosed as acid reflux causing my laryngitis, I was told it would take at least three months to get my voice back.
However I have been sick a few times since then and every time the virus turns straight into terrible laryngitis. Before the surgery I very rarely ever got laryngitis but now it comes on so easily and lasts for a while. Is there any reason that this would be connected to my thyroid surgery? Wondering if this is still part of the healing process or not? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

I developed what I now know is pharyngitis, started having symptoms of enlarged tonsils last Tuesday. That same day I noticed white streaks and patches only on my tonsils no where else.. Made an appointment the next day and was diagnosed with viral pharyngitis.. My doctor did not prescribe me anything just said gargle really well, and take Tylenol if needed.. The symptoms subsided by Monday, but now I feel really nauseous, and been having the urge to do the number 2 a lot in the past day..
What is wrong with me? Do I simply just have viral pharyngitis? It has been a month and 2 weeks since I found out that I have viral pharyngitis, could have been longer.. Why wont it go away?
What is wrong with me?
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?
I have developed a chronic dry cough & laryngitis, currently I have been dealing with symptoms for a month. I went thru same illness 5months ago was in the hospital & then passed around to various specialists without any real answers. I have done allergy testing, tests to rule out relfux, seen ENT, pulmonlogist, & family dr multiple times with not much success. No one can tell me why I got better last time, or why I am dealing with the same situation again.
My son developed laryngitis about 2 months ago. It is severe so that he can not talk at all. His ENT diagnosed it as Muscular dysphonia. He is seeing a speech therapist, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. He plays Sax in the band at school and can't get enough air out to play.
Any suggestions?
