Avatar f tn Hello, I went swimming a early june and few days after that my ears started to hurt real bad and it gave me terrible headaches coming and going. Then I developed strep throat week later, got rid of it. I been putting Similasan earache releif it helped a little. And now its september 2, my ears don't hurt as bad but I think I lost some of my hearing, I can't hear like I use to. Now I'm having a problem with my left eye and left nostril watering.
Avatar m tn then Some things that could have occurred because of the strep throat are rheumatic fever, kidney disease, endocarditis, and my daughter went straight from strep to mono and had similar symptoms that he is describing. Also it is possible that he could have had fibromyalgia or lupus whose onset was triggered by the strep throat. You did not mention him running any temperature, so I'm guessing he has not been. Is that correct?
Avatar n tn Well i went to the doc sunday, he did a strep test and it did test positive. He gave me Augmentin 875, and I went home and everyone said gargle gargle gargle. So I started gargling Listerine, is it possible that by gargling too much listerine I can make my throat more raw? Or will the Listerine just keep on helping?
Avatar n tn with Sinus/allergy problems. He tested me for strep, it was positive, and gave me med for the strep throat. The conditions have gotten worse and now my ear has started to hurt. While blowing my nose i got a real sharp pain in my right ear and now a little brownish disharge is comming out of my ear and it is continuing to hurt. it feels like there is water or some sort of liquid in it and all noises are muffled and there is a mild pain in my ear.
2075737 tn?1379447682 Yesterday I woke up with a terrible sore throat and ear ache (everytime I get a bad sore throat my ears hurt too) and it lasted alll day and I still have it but now I have a white coated tongue. I think it may be strep throat. But its a damn Saturday and my dr isn't open. My next appointment isn't until Wednesday. Should I wait and try to be seen Monday or is this something that I should go to the hospital for?
Avatar m tn I understand that Streptococcus couse Strep throat but I hear that he can cause problem in the body skin and then is call Predator bacteria. I heard too that it can cause problem in the heart and Joints (An autoimmune disease)- what is happend and we speak about the same bactria?
Avatar f tn What you are describing sounds more like strep throat. Do you have a fever? Strep throat can be quite painful when swallowing and cause a general feeling of malaise, with whitish "dots" appearing in the back of your throat. If left untreated, strep throat can lead to other more serious complications. You should seek medical attention.
Avatar f tn If you happened to have strep, if left untreated can lead to cardiac problems and kidney issues... I understand not wanting to give/take drugs unnecessarily but there are occasions where they are warranted! Also most antibiotics are completely safe during pregnancy and pose no risk to the baby.
Avatar f tn They tested her and found out that she has strep throat. They also found blood in her urine sample and want her to get it tested again later for a cause. My mom has just beaten breast cancer and she, understandably, gets a bit worried when tests have any kind of unusual results. I realize it may not be anything really bad but after everything she has been through I also worry a bit about this. Can anyone tell me if perhaps these two are linked or if it may be something else entirely.
Avatar m tn But If you are being treated for dental problems sometimes certain strains of viridans strep. Strep mutans and Strep. Sanguinis can cause dental cavities if you have a problem with bleeding gums for example. It is not an STD. You normally have these bacteria and can get them anywhere. Possibly from a kiss since these particular strains like the oral cavity. But if they just said "strep viridans" it could be from the skin or elsewhere.
7678907 tn?1400809113 I'm almost 36 wks & last wk had strep throat AND a sinus infection on top of a not so easy pregnancy, worst wk ever! I would suggest that on top of prenatals that you get some good probiotics from a health food store. Acidophilus is what I'm taking.
Avatar n tn These symptoms scaring me pretty much ...Did i get Herpes ??!!! I had unsafe intercourse a month ago with a female Student 21 Years Old and later i got these SYMPTOMS : - Burning Senstation in my balls and Penis ( started few hours after the intercourse and i was diagnosed 2 weeks later with two kinds of Bacteria in urine : Strep. viridans, and Staph.
Avatar n tn I know strep and allergies are definitely two different things, but it could be that if he has an allergy issue, his nasal passages and throat get irritated from that and then an infection occurs - the strep throat. This past winter I, myself, got strep throat twice and pneumonia once - the first bout of strep actually landed me in the hospital for 4 days.
Avatar m tn I also have been told I am basically a carrier for strep I test positive every time and the antibiotics don't seem to do crap they run out before I get better! I also had sores all over my body one time from what I read online I would say I had Scarlet fever but the doctor said its exactly like scarlet fever but its not?
Avatar m tn I am having the EXACT same thing happen to me right now. I had a terrible case of strep one month ago and my throat is sore again now. I have a pain in my side like a running cramp and also middle back pain. I had an ultrasound this morning but no gallstones. I am curious did they ever find out exactly what was wrong?
Avatar f tn Every illness with both sore throat and fever should be professionally evaluated. The concern is not STDs, but strep throat, mononucleosis, etc. But if no real fever, you can safely just sit tight and wait for it to clear up on its own -- but still see a doctor if sore throat lasts more than another week or so.
Avatar m tn After a bout of Strep and mono (though I will add that the sore throat was NOT severe in either cases oddly enough, I was swallowing fine and with relatively no pain, just slight irritation), I had noticed my throat seemed very "beat up" per se. Here is a current image of my mouth: http://i27.tinypic.com/2r5wyac.jpg Notice the seemingly cluster of bumps on the back wall, and overall "redness?" It's weird to me since I have absolutely NO pain, discomfort, or anything.
Avatar n tn The last two times that I gave him oral sex I broke out in the most painful blisters on my tonsils. I went to the Dr. because I thought that I had strep throat and the test came back as just a virus, however, I don't know what virus.
Avatar m tn It sticks around all day. Ive had problems with kidney infections in the past so i thought maybe it had something to do with that but i've had multiple urine samples & well as a blood test done with normal results. I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I am not in any pain it's just more annoying then anything. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thank you!
Avatar m tn The symptoms described 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.
Avatar f tn PSCGN (post streptococcal glomrulonephritis) is a condition associated with kidney symptoms after a strep infection but 80% people recover on their own.other needs steroids.in some cases CTX too. considiring auto immune is good theory since evry autoimmune disease have kidney involvement at some extent. suppose its wegeners disease that would involve lungs with kidney.and if it is alports disease that would involve ear problems. hope ur daughter get better .
Avatar m tn I’m late answering this but i was diagnosed with strep even though i suspected mono but the doctor put me on amoxicillin anyways. I had taken seven days of amoxicillin feeling the sickest i had ever felt but developed no rash so the doctor didn’t worry. After 7 days of being on amoxicillin my throat finally felt better and i did not feel sick anymore. I went to sleep that night and woke up at 5am itching and had developed a full body rash over night.
Avatar m tn Hi there, I gave fellatio to two different men about a week apart from each other. A few days after, I started swallowing and felt like I was swallowing over a small lump. My lymph node is also swollen. A week and a half later I went to a regular MD who gave me blood tests and swabbed my throat. They called me the next day and put me on a 250 mg Zpak for "high numbers" and said "it looks like it may be strep" but for some reason did not confirm.
503418 tn?1231098736 Well, pus indicates an infection, and if serious there should be a fever. If the condition is strep throat (tonsillitis), that is a specific type of infection caused by the streptococcus bacteria. Strep tonsillitis can cause secondary damage to the heart valves (rheumatic fever) and kidneys (glomerulonephritis).
Avatar f tn It may not have been from the incident but could be a combination of that, which broke the skin, and getting exposed to the bacteria. It would be best to get a throat swab for strep throat. It is a rapid test the doctor can do in the office. Then you can be treated properly. Strep throat can cause other problems if you don't get treated. In any case it does sound like you need antibiotics. So you should be prescribed the correct ones for the bacteria that is infecting your throat.
