Avatar f tn I have swollen gland on my left hand side of my throat, I have no tonsils, but when it really gets really swollen I find it very hard to breath and swallow, please help.
Avatar m tn The swollen neck glands are secondary to the throat infection. It can go away after the infection is treated. Sometimes, the glands persist to be enlarged even after treatment. Please do give us updates. Good luck.
Avatar m tn old was seen today for a fever and sore throat complaint. the ped. said she has a throat infection and swollen glands and prescribed meds. she did check other areas of her body for glands (at least that is what i think she was feeling for). about 7 weeks ago she had the same thing (tho the whole family passed around a fever/infection). should we be overly concerned that she has been sick like this twice in two months? what would be the tell tale signs of leukemia or lymphoma in a child?
1548905 tn?1303331009 Today, I went to see the doctor, he confirmed the swollen glands. And he also found I have sore throat, I dont feel anything about it. All the swollen glands cannot be seen by appearance. I dont have fever, no diarrhea, no weight loss. I also did the normal blood test, which showed WBC, RBC and all others are good. I am still concered abou HIV infection. I am wondering the risk of being infected by HIV. Meanwhile, if I go to test on Monday, which means only 7 weeks after the exposure.
Avatar n tn Over the course of the day my symptoms worsened, I had a severly sore throat, swollen glands, headache, all of my joints ached but mot my muscles and had no fever. The next day I saw my family doctor. He tested for strep, (test was negative). He said my lungs sounded good, no sinus problems and blood pressure was fine. Said he had no idea what it was. I was instructed to take Ibuprofen and chloriseptic spray for thoat to help with pain.
Avatar f tn I took him to the doc and she did a strep test that came back negative. Now Nov.1st he is complaining of a sore throat and his glands are swollen again a very painful to touch with no other signs of infection. He is only 11 years old now but I want to know what is causing his glands to constently swell? Should I take him to see a ENT?
Avatar m tn Doc, Thanks for the prompt response. You mention 4 to 14 days as the time for blisters to appear. Considering I'm only 60 hours into this possible exposure, I'm guessing it's too early to tell, right? I'm just nervous the swollen glands for 48 hours is a sign for things to come. Your response gives me hope, I just want to make sure it's not false hope.
329165 tn?1515471990 Hello and hope you are doing well. Your symptoms could be due to a post nasal drip. This could build up during the course of the day irritating the throat. The post nasal drip could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications.
Avatar f tn okay so basically i came down with swollen glands a couple days ago and now i think i have a ear infection. i feel as though my ear have a wall and i cant get rid of it, yet when i yawn they feel like they are going to pop is this bad or not? if it's good how do i yawn without hurting my throat cause while im trying to yawn my throat hurts so bad. i have tried to take all sorts of medication but none seem to be working.
Avatar f tn I have swollen glands, ear aches, head aches and back pain, the doctors give me codiene which hardly helpbut it returns again 1-3 months later. what could this be?
Avatar n tn A sore throat and swollen glands go hand in hand. If it doesn't go away, see your doctor for some antibiotics. Take care.
Avatar f tn I initially thought it was a knot in my muscle, but now I have swollen neck glands with no sore throat.
Avatar f tn My issue is that the 2 glands on the sides of my throat are swollen, the one inside my chin is swollen, something small and round below my left ear is swollen and something on the outside of my right ear is also swollen. I do not have a fever and I have not vomited at all, which is symptoms of most disorders that have to do with swollen nodes. They do hurt and actually the one below my left ear itches.
Avatar n tn If all you can feel is like a pen tip then your groin lymphnodes are not swollen and your swollen throat glands are from your throat infection. They say when you have early hiv if any glands will swell it will be all of them, groin, armpit, and throat. I would try not to worry about it too much (I know its hard to do when you have hiv phobia, which I have as well) Go get tested at the right time and put the fear behind you.
Avatar n tn Within the last 7 days there has been somewhat of a sore throat but very weak. As of today my throat glands must be swollen because it feels very hard to swallow. Also to me it feels like my glands down in the groin area seem swollen. The only thing i think this could be is HIV. Could be other things? Is my situation a high risk situation? Will taking a test tomorrow give me results? I am going to get tested tomorrow but I am really stressed out.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn Multiple locations of swollen lymph nodes definitely warrants a trip to the doctor. It suggests an underlying infection in the body, but it could also be from an autoimmune disorder, or a malignancy.
Avatar m tn Mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus), which results in fever, sore throat, and fatigue, or cytomegalovirus (CMV), a viral infection that causes symptoms similar to those of mononucleosis. A bacterial illness, such as strep throat (caused by the streptococcus bacterium) or Lyme disease (a bacterial infection spread by certain types of ticks). Side effects of phenytoin (Dilantin), a medicine used to prevent seizures. Side effects of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination.
Avatar m tn But but swollen glands still there and I took some other medicine to try get rid of it which apperantly didnt help, until now it is march my swollen glands and ocassional sore throat is still there but no fever and other hiv sympthom but rashes sometimes and even small tiny white dot on my lips which might be quite common. My major concern is, I feel my heart and langs slightly painful in General. What kind of sypmthom is it? Should I see another std doctor for another blood test?
Avatar n tn ve looked online and found that swollen glands, headache and fever are all a part of the typical acute HIV symptoms. Not only that, but I've read symptoms usually appear two weeks after exposure - which is just about when it started. The symptoms I don't really have are fatigue, rash, diarreha, loss of appetite and sore throat. Do ARS symptoms hit hard at once like the flu or gradually come on and get worse like mine? I'm not asking for a diagnosis, but how worried should I be?
Avatar f tn My throat go a little better over the next 4 days then a week after I went to urgent care I woke up and my tonsils were very swollen and covered in white. My glands were sore in my neck when I pushed on them. The next day the tonsils still very swollen and covered in white and very sore. Is this hiv related?
Avatar m tn hi, i got a sore throat about 2 months ago, the doctor diagnosed tonsilitis, and put me on calvepen, this got rid of the fever symptons but my glands stayed swollen an my throat stayed red, when the fever came back a few weeks later i went back and he put me on augmenten, this had the same effect i went back last week and was put back on calvepen and he did a mono test which came back negative, but said my white blood cell count was high and it looked like i was at the tale end of a virus, somed
Avatar m tn I just feel sick with worry, everything online points to me having HIV, swollen glands, soar throat etc. When can I get tested and is there any test I can do before to see whether I was at risk?? Or should I see my doctor regarding the glands? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I'm worried about an infection in general like a sore throat and swollen glands and stuff.
Avatar f tn Symptoms of strep throat include throat pain, difficulty swallowing, red and swollen tonsils, swollen/tender lymph glands in the neck, fever, and fatigue. However, these set of symptoms may also be observed in a viral infection or some other kind of illness. To confirm if this is due to streptococcus bacteria, throat swab or culture and direct physical examination may be done. If this is due to a viral infection, it usually resolves after a few days.
Avatar m tn The condom did not appear to break during our brief encounter. 4 days after I developed swollen nodes under my jaw and a bad sore throat. The swollen glands have remained swollen for over 4 weeks and are even visibly enlarged. I took full std panel on day 11 and was negative for everything including hiv. I know this is too soon to test but I have been very anxious about this exposure.
