Avatar f tn Dormant is not the right term to use as the infection would be active. You can't tell how long you have had it. I will say that symptoms show in men about 90+% of the time at about 2-5 days, shows in women about 60+% at that same time frame. So could you have had it for 6 months...yes. But more likely this would be a newer infection but can't say for certain.

Nobody quite understands it yet, and some of it sounds a bit psychological -- he's got depression all of a sudden.

Avatar n tn I have had a very unusual sore throat for THREE weeks now. I don't feel bad, I'm not sick. Haven't had a cold, no sinus infection. Nothing. Just a continuous sore throat. Also, it is almost unbearable to yawn because it hurts in my ear so bad. It's my throat majority of the time, but when I yawn it is very painful in my ear. Not both ears at the same time, sometimes just one, but it goes back and forth. I want to know what's causing this.

So it is hard for me to say. It is up to the doctor to look at your throat or do a culture to see if it is infected. The pain in the stomach may be due the other stomach problem they are giving you the diet for. I 'm not sure. Did you tell the doctor about the pain?
