Avatar n tn I have been waking up every morning for a couple of months now with a sore throat and when I clear my throat there is some blood in my saliva. If I get up in the middle of the night it happens as well. In fact anytime I have been asleep and wake up there is some blood in my saliva. I know that I snore. My brother says he thinks it's a nasal infection but why would it last this long? I was laid off for two months and just recently started working again.
Avatar n tn Hi and sorry you are ill. Do you still have the sore throat? Do you have a high fever? Usually, with a strep throat you don't have a cough or other symptoms. So this sounds like a virus rather than a strep throat. So, when you went it to the doctor what were your symptoms to start with? If you only had pus in the throat and a sore throat with a fever you had strep throat. Then if they did a strep test and it was positive the antibiotics didn't help the sore throat?
Avatar m tn The next day my throat became scratchy and continued till the next day, then on wednesday i began with a small congested nose, and a dry cough. today, I have no sore throat, almost none congested nose, never had runny nose, but still have the cough, feel a little weak, and my eyes hurt a litlle.. What can this be, is it more of a common cold or the flu. Have not had fever nor muscle aches.

Avatar n tn ve had something similar for more than 6 months now. Occasional dry cough, daily sore throat (slightly worse on one side), and mucus deep in throat (i.e. not post-nasal drip in origin). My ENT said the vocal chords were inflamed, and my GI doc responded by saying that ENT's always say that. Both of them are in any case perplexed. So am I. My chronic sore throat is accompanied by some additional gastro symptoms.
Avatar f tn I'm on week 12 and have had a sore throat and dry cough throughout. What helps for me is a warm mist humidifier I run all night while sleeping. I don't know about everyone else but this tx has dried me out. My skin is horribly dry and scaly, my eyes are so dry I use a dry eye solution every day. My scalp has actually developed dry patches. It just stands to reason your interior will become dried out too.
Avatar f tn I also have the same thing mine going weeks now..
Avatar f tn t belong to my household. Not sure if this has anything to do with HIV? Also I got dry cough and feeling low (no fever, or swollen glands) since a week now, even though the medication helps (Strepsils, Lemsip, hot drinks, honey and lemon), I am still worried. I'd like to get tested, but I'd need some professional health advice, if I'm gone mentally crazy or that I should do the test? I've read everywhere that people MAY NOT develop any symptoms at the early stage.
Avatar f tn I also have occasional ear congestion. But no sore throat. Could this be a uri or a cold with no sore throat? Would meds help? Also how long will this last? Symptoms started last Saturday with the dry mouth. Thanks!
Avatar m tn The nurse did not open the needle wrpper in front of me. on 16th april i got a sore throat followed by dry cough..which lasted till 24 april. do u think this is sign of ars? should i get tested ?
Avatar m tn Thank you, even if these symptoms happened in the 2-4 weeks time? Unprotected one minute only.
Avatar m tn Hello Sir, thanks for your suggestion, but doctors could not find any results in blood samples. Everything is normal .Still I am suffering from dry cough, itchy skin, sore throat and ulcer. Can I do a HIV test?
1778927 tn?1381878747 Also if I smell things that are rather strong it makes it feel irritated and I dry cough. My throat is red but lymphs are not swollen. My ear also hurts off and on. Is this allergies? Acid reflux? (I am prone to both) but neither have made my throat feel this way before.
Avatar n tn ve never had intercourse or received oral from another person) on May 5th(about a month ago). About two days later I had sore throat with dry cough. Sore throat went away a day later but I got cold like symptom about a week later (May 12 ish) which went away in a few hours. Since then, I still get dry coughs from time to time. It's not all day cough though, some days I never get them and some days I get them.
Avatar f tn I feel horrible. And my chest is killing me. I know my little one is tired of me coughing so much. I about took a trip to er last night cause my head hurt so bad but tried to lay down and sleep it out. It worked for a little while and came right back this morning. What do they do for tonsilitis if you're pregnant. I'm high risk so my dr never wants to give me anything unless its absolutely necessary.. I haven't been sick but I feel so dehydrated..
Avatar f tn You can take robitussin dm for cough, sadly its not very strong but its all that you can take for this, and for your sore throat chloraseptic lozenge or spray is ok to take.
Avatar f tn A few days went by and the sore throat subsided, I was left with post nasal drip, itchy throat, cough and a congestion for another week. Then everything subsided except the cough. Here I am at the 3 week mark and though the cough has subsided ( I still cough occasionally, dry non-productive like before) my throat is super dry and the itch in the back of the throat is worse, I check in the mirror and see white patches in the back of my throat! not good.. What is going on??
