Avatar f tn Hi, about 3 months ago i had a throat infection and as i result i got a pea sized lump in neck that has been on neck for 3 months. I have been to two ENT specialists and one said that i was a lymph node and the other one said that the lump was due to tonsillitis. Also for the past 3 weeks i have had lumps on the back of mouth and i went to the dentist and he said that it was the tonsils and that i just need to take them out.
Avatar n tn Is the cold sore a sign of HIV - unfortunately whilst looking for info on cold sore treatment I read on the NHS direct web site that it may be! I am showing signs of OCD? Thanks Again and I look forward to hearing back from you shortly. Best regards..
Avatar f tn hi i'm a 28 year old none smoker, last year i had my tonsils removed as my right tonsil was enlarged. the past couple of months everytime i swallow i feel as if there's something stuck down my throat. or there's a lump. my doctor has checked felt my neck and throat but says it's fine... everytime i swallow my ears pop and it just feels weird hard to explain. it's not painful to swallow. mainly the right side of the neck.when i touch my neck it kinda hurts.
Avatar m tn Despite all the publicity in recent years about one HPV type (HPV 16) causing throat cancer, that remains a rare problem and even in people with oral HPV 16 infection, the large majority don't get cancer. Based on this question and the one you asked last month on the herpes expert forum, you seem somewhat overly concerned about STD transmission by mouth or through other non-sexual routes. Such infections are extremely rare if they occur at all. Don't worry about it.

Avatar f tn m still having GERD symptoms - burning abdomen, stomach tender to the touch when poked, acid reflux, lump in throat, burning up back of throat, excessive belching and gas..I've also had diarrhea since the symptoms started almost a year ago. I'm worrying that it's gastric cancer. Three months ago I had two ct scans of the abdomen. One with just iodine contrast and another with both iodine contrast and barium swallow. Both came back fine. Would gastric cancer show up on the ct scans?

Avatar m tn . Its contracted by direct skin contact and would be more for someone giving oral to a male who has hpv on the penis. So the vaginal wart would have to come in contact with the back of your throat which is impossible unless the vaginal tissue were sucked back to that area.

Avatar m tn Last week I had an ultrasound of my abdomen and they told me that everything is normal. Also, the doctor tested for indirect and direct bilirubin. The result was elevated direct and indirect bilirubin so this ruled out Gilbert's. I was also tested for hepatitis and everything liver related that can be found in the blood. Everything was perfectly normal.
Avatar n tn I have rang my Doc, Heptatis C advice line and NHS Direct and every service has told me not to worry, as transmission via casual contact is very rare and my situation is almost an impossibility. I just wanted some further reassurance as this worry is getting me down and playing in my mind a bit. Thanks for any replies, and sorry to sound pathetic.
Avatar f tn best advice I can give you if your really worried and can't wait until Monday is to ring NHS direct or your surgery and get their out of hours number.
Avatar f tn if you are than that could be why, but im guessing your not which is why your asking. could be a lot of things, some serious but most not.
Avatar n tn How is it possible for a man to develop cancer related hpv in tonsils and in back of the throat if theres no DIRECT skin contact to that specific area(if going down on a woman)
Avatar m tn Most HPV infections clear up spontaneously within several months to a couple of years. As I said, it is very unlikely you were exposed to (or caught) HPV from the exposure described, but if you did, most likely any HPV infection cleared up years ago. My "association" comment was in regard to oral sex. Technically, it is also true that HPV-16 is only "associated" with throat cancer -- but most likely it is the direct cause of the malignancy.
1556337 tn?1341708611 Almost every day non stop it seems (its more like every few minutes but, just what it feels like), i am hacking,sniffing, and even gag reflex wretching to clear my throat of phlegm that just seems to continually come up without me having a cold or flu of any kind, i just cant seem to feel like i'm clear of moisture on my throat.
Avatar f tn It's highly unlikely. Sexually transmitted HPV needs to have direct conact to spread for the most part. It is usually though the bodily secretions that make it easier. It is possible to get HPV in your mouth or throat though. Hands it is unlikely. tell him to get treated though.
Avatar f tn Ok thank you, could I be pregnant?
Avatar n tn my mother thinks she has throat cancer...i think barretts....since she was little she would always have her stomach acid flow through her throat.....( idon't know if that makes sense, like when she is laying down it flows back into her throat) and so over the years, her throat has suffered from the acid...she also feels pain in her throat...her throat burns everytime she talks and swallows (occasionally). her voice has became rough/scratchy. she also feels a lump in her throat. help me....
