swollen

Avatar m tn THe tonsils appear to be slighty red but other than that they do not appear to have spots or white anything on them. I have begun having problems sleeping as a result of this. I have no health insurance, in this day and age it is too hard to get it. I want to know what the problem could be.
Avatar f tn I have bumps in my throat behind my uvula, my uvula seems a little red as does the palate around it. Both sides of my throat by the uvula are swollen and I don't know if my tonsils are swollen or not but it looks as if so. There is a bit of white patches on both sides of throat by uvula. Also my tongue is always dry! I don't know exactly what's wrong. Anyone have any idea?
Avatar f tn Last week on monday I felt light headed and dizzy ended up with a fever for 2 days. That thursday I felt I had strep, with the fever and sore throat seeming so familiar; I went to my Dr. To check it out. No strep, but the next day my uvula swelled up so bad I felt I couldn't breathe. Spent the whole day gargling salt, eating garlic clothes, spoons of honey and tumeric. Didn't sleep till 6 am Saturday when I couldn't stand being up anymore.
Avatar m tn You may wish to see an ENT doctor about your swollen uvula, since any kind of swelling in your throat can aggravate upper airway obstruction.
Avatar f tn I woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat. When I looked in the mirror, my uvula was 3 times it normal size & laying on my tongue, red with a bit of white spots, & tongue a bit swollen too. I asked my husband if I was snoring & he didn't remember hearing me snore. I called my obgyn for advice since I'm 36 weeks & they want me to go get a strep test to be on the safe side. I don't have tonsils so it's not tonsillitis. Had anybody else experienced this?
Avatar m tn After 7 days, I noticed 2 white spots on my uvula and in the past 3 days, my uvula has become enlarged, touching my tongue. Also, I have experienced some tightness in my throat, some slight difficulty breathing, feeling lethargic and have had some feelings of stiffness in my joints. I'm usually in perfect health. Prior to this encounter, the last time I had any sexual contact was 3 years ago.
Avatar f tn Secondly its now over 3months after the exposure and i now have had a swollen uvula in my mouth and very red and white spots on roof of my mouth and uvula!could this be because of hiv or am i just losing my mind!
Avatar f tn Your Question I'm a female, a few weeks ago i performed fellatio and now i have a few painless red marks or spots around on my soft palette and uvula.
Avatar f tn The roof of my mouth is white, and the uvula is swollen and almost touching the back of my tongue. I feel like I should keep swallowing. Never happened before. No new foods, meds, etc.
Avatar m tn This continued for a while the doctor wasnt concerned and said it should sort itself out, it didnt recently my uvula has swollen and it is touching the back of my tongue.
Avatar f tn They were just slightly irritating, so i was looking at them in the mirror and i noticed that the back of my throat is pretty red and it looks like there are small bumps. Also it looks like my uvula is discolored (an almost yellowish spot). my throat doesnt really hurt at all just a slight irritation. I fear it may get worse. Anyone have any ideas of the cause?
Avatar f tn One week ago, I developed a severely sore throat, several days later I developed small pimple like spots on the back of my throat. My uvula is red and inflamed but does not have any spots on it. I have been very sick with a fever, swollen glands and general flu-like symptoms including a productive cough. I do not have any lesions on my tongue, other areas of my mouth or lips. The spots in my throat have still not diminished.
Avatar f tn I got tested for hiv and it was negative the next 2 month was tested negative again... But currently i have got this small single red spots on my skin,ie chest, arms, belly and back, a pink rash in my palms but not itchy... I had fever, and swollen uvula.... Even though i still have some months of testing.... Am scared.. Could dis be hiv?
Avatar n tn the back of his throat looked normal it was only the uvula that was red and had 2 white circular spots and he said it was very painful. i told him to go to the doctor. he went the next day and said the doc said it was strep throat or tonsillitis. i spoke to the doc myself and he didnt even give my friend any type of test. i think it is a viral infection or some sought of std he doesnt want to listen to me because of what the doc told him.
Avatar n tn stds , my results all came back neg, for a couple of weeks i stopped worry and then i developed a mild sore throat with tiny spots on soft palate and uvula , went back to doctors and they said it was tonsillitis , however 3 and a half years later the spots are still there , my left pelvis aches sometimes and my throat is red and irritated about 4-5 times a year. i am ill with worry in case they got my tests wrong? i also have mild ear pain when throat is sore.
Avatar n tn He demonstrated his swollen uvula by flipping it forward so that it was resting on his tongue. So now that my symptoms are showing I decided to take a look. The tip of my swollen uvula is not visible behind my tongue. I can feel it resting on my tongue and when I swallow, I get that familiar sand paper feeling that I can now identify as my tongue against my uvula. Research suggests that I am indeed just suffering from allergies, or perhaps tonsillitis. Whatever it is…I NEED TO FIX IT!
Avatar m tn Hi, it would appear that your throat issues are from the surgery not and std and getting and std from giving oral sex is really low risk for many reasons so i would rule that out.
Avatar n tn Days 2-10 swollen tonsils with white patches (extremely painful). Now my uvula is swollen and sitting on my tounge. Ok so heres what I have been using to combat this. Gargle with salt water, Drink warm water with honey and lemon, Tylenol for pain (actually works for once), had some fluticasone propionate for nasal congestion (stopped working so switched to afrin) and zinc cough drops. Ok heres my question, at what time should I be worried and go see a doctor.
Avatar f tn I’m 37 yr old Female overweight (obese) for the past 2 years I randomly wake up with a very swollen uvula. Snoring is possible doctors check I don’t have sleep apnea. I hate this more than anything. I want to know how to not let it happen If I go from obese to closer to my weight will it ease up ? I try to stay hydrated. It seems to happen more it I’m overtired Any help just any help I would be so grateful Swelling goes down after a few hours upon waking.
Avatar m tn I had an outpatient gyn procedure done 4 days ago with post procedure mouth, uvula, and throat soreness. By the evening, my uvula was so long and red, it was gagging me. The area of the throat directly behind the uvula and the right tonsillar pillar was red and sore. Slowly, over the past few days, the uvula has shortened, but still rests on my tongue. The lower third of it is now grayish-white.
Avatar f tn I had my tonsils removed over 2 weeks ago and well my uvula is still swollen and I am not able to eat much. I wish I can fast forward 2 months in the future to get the swelling down. I so understand your position though. What I have heard from others is that it can take months for the uvula to get back into proper psition. Hang in there. All the best. If you are still uncertain then maybe see the ENT who did the surgery to explain things.
Avatar f tn 2 days ago it suddenly flared up to the extent that it woke me up in the middle of the night. My tonsils and uvula look very red and swollen. But there are no white spots. In the day time the symptoms are bearable but they worsen at night. I went to a regular doc and he said it looked likely to just be a regular upper respiratory throat infection perhaps from a flu virus (I have been ART-swabbed 4-5x in the last week, all negative.) What are the chances I caught an STD? Any chance it is HIV?
