Avatar n 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. For the cough (dry) antitussives like Dextromethorphan based syrups like Triaminic may help.

Avatar f tn Firstly, has he been cultured for strep throat and/or had a rapid strep test done? Secondly, steroids are good for getting inflammation down but they cause you get very immunocompromised. Are these oral steroids and were they actually perscribed by a doctor. I would stop the steroids. He could also have a resistant strain of Strep. so they may need to do a antibiotic sensitivity panel if the culutre is still positive. Lastly, it may virus that he got after the initial infection.
Avatar n tn sounds like an infection of some nature,,,could be something like lymes disease,or more serious like hiv,,, i cannot see you getting rash from sore throat,,UNLESS you got medicine for sore throat/toncelitis and you are having a reaction to it.
Avatar n tn Your first step is to go to your family physician and have him/her check it out, including a strep test for strep throat. Any sore throat lasting a week or more should definitely be checked out. Strep throat is very common (especially in children and young adults) and very treatable, but can lead to serious complications if not treated. So please get your parents or a trusted adult to take you to the doctor and get checked.
Avatar m tn So recently I have been having throat pain, and i took a look in the mirror with a flash light. I noticed I have yellow stuff in the back on my throat that wont move( tried with a q-tip). My tonsils are also swollen and inflamed, they also have the yellow stuff on it, that stuff wipes off though. The yellow stuff looks like mucous to me. I also have pain in my ears, head, and stomach. What could this be a sign of?
9309926 tn?1405447056 t seen it after a strep throat. Sore throats can often be caused aby viruses and not strep. With a strep throat you usually get a high fever. Sometimes you can also get swollen lymph nodes under the neck. You don't always get pus (white spots on the tonsils or back of the throat) but you usually do. Strep throat can become serious so they do have to watch you. Sometimes it does go away on its own. I would definitely get the swab done.
Avatar m tn Your sed rate or (ESR) can be high with any cause of inflammation such as Rheumatoid arthritis, anemia, lupus, pregnancy, etc. Do you have a sore throat? Have you had your throat checked for a strep infection? You could also perhaps have mono if you had a sore throat, swollen glands and high fever, fatigue etc. A lot of things will cause high ESR and swollen glands. What other symptoms do you have?

731024 tn?1231469911 About 2 days ago, I started feeling like I was coming down with a cold. My throat was a little irritated, but I thought nothing of it. I went to bed that night at about 9:45, and woke up at one, my throat was killing me! It was the worst sore throat I had EVER had. I stayed up the rest of the night, looking for something to help me, CRYING, wishing I could go to sleep. I never found anything but DayTime (it's like DayQuil, just cheaper) and it didn't help.
Avatar n tn I have trouble swallowing, and when I lay on my back, it feels like my throat is closing up. My internal medicine doctor did a soft tissue neck x-ray and said it was fine. She gave me a prescription for Vicodin and Provigil and made an appointment with an endocrinologist in 2 months. I am just so confused because all my lab work and x-rays are totally normal, so why does she think an endocrinologist can help?
Avatar f tn May just got to the doctor, I thought jad I may have had the common cold but I checked my throat and its looking like strep.
Avatar n tn I had oral sex with a man over about a month ago. He wore a condom. It was the first time that I had a homosexual experience. While he was very gentle his penis did reach way back in my throat. Afterwards, he put his penis in my butt. About 3-5 days after this encounter I experienced severe pain in the lower to middle region of my throat. Then everytime I exercise the pain gets worse. I've been to the doctor and don't have strep throat. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with me.
Avatar f tn I am a 24 year old woman and I have had a chronic sore throat for 3 months with NO explanation following a cold I had. I had kissed someone (french) who's health history is completely unknown to me. He works in the emergency room, which makes me wonder if I've been exposed to something more rare and bad. I got a cold 2 days later with a violent sore throat. It lasted 5 days but just as I felt normal again and over my cold (running nose/etc) ..
Avatar n tn I recommend you see your Dr about this. It may be your tonsils or strep throat. It's really hard to say but your Dr should be able to find out what's going on.
