Hi, I had a bacterial throat infection: including sore throat, fever, headache and body aches.....This was before x-mas, I was given Augmentin, which pretty much cleared it up, except my cough and congestion.... After x-mas The cough got worse and fevers, tongue ulcers and head and body aches came again, my Dr. said this time it's viral, so it would have run its coarse, it's been almost a month and still hasn't cleared up at all.
Between may and June I developed fluctuating body temperatures, chronic sore throat (even to the point of ulcers in my mouth), blocked sinuses and still the remaining breathlessness and tickly cough. I also started to develop earache. Visited a pulmonologist who gave me a spirometery test and said that I Do not have asthma. Was then told that the doctor doesn't like to label people but he thinks its 'probably' post viral fatigue syndrome.
My guess is, that unless a swab test was taken from your throat that was positive for HSV 1, your doctor was covering all the possible diagnoses for ulcers in the throat and that would have to include HSV. Does your doctor know that you tested negative for HSV 1 repeatedly? Do you know if you had a swab test from the ulcers and what the result was?
Part of the illness included an infection in the throat. The infection was cleared up with antibiotics but i was still very tired for a few weeks.
Could this have been acute infection? Do people ever get sore throat that clear up with antibiotics during the window period? I know that antibiotics don't help viral infections but I wonder if it could have been an opportunistic infection. Is it common to have opportunistic throat infections during the acute phase?
i read some where that gargling salt water wud ease the throat pain but it made it even worse .. has any one heard of pple getting sore throat and throat ulcers as an ars symptom ?? or could it be some other oral std ( we engaged in deep kissing for about 30 minutes and she usually gives unprotected bj to all her other clients ..
Hi all,
back at the beginning of April this year I had a sore throat, I looked and saw I had a few ulcers/blisters in the back of my throat, I have never had these before, and they weren't there previous to that, I had just come off Omeprazole which I had been taking for acid reflux, and had been on them for 9 weeks.I had also just come off Yasmin contraceptive pill that i had been taking for around 8 years.
I have lots of ulcers in the back of my throat, here is a picture of my throat:

I first noticed these ulcers when I had a sore throat 3 months ago. I went to my GP and he told me they were either due to a viral or bacterial infection and would go on their own. He told me to gargle Corsodyl. I did and they haven't changed. I have also tried gargling salt water, L-lysine but nothing has helped at all.
We have the same sores and the same occurrence of them, but I am also getting the throat ulcers and he is not. In addition, I have noticed that I have had tonsilloliths for sometime, and I'm thinking that my tonsils are harboring some kind of bacteria or something. I've also wondered if it's possible that participating in oral activities could have made them occur more frequently on the throat.
His throat will be very red, and sometimes he has ulcers in his throat as well. His doctor says that it probably starts with a viral infection and then causes his throat to become very infected. The doctor also says that he could be picking up bacteria from his hands. Toddlers tend to put their hands in their mouths alot ( and my son ***** his thumb when he is sleepy).I wash his hands often but he still gets these throat infections.
You say you have a sore throat, are you producing any phlegm, if so what colour? White, clear phlegm is usually an indication of a viral infection whilst yellowish phlegm usually indicated bacterial infection.
However please do not diagnose yourself based on symptoms or lack of symptoms.
Anyone who has symptoms due to ARS will usually test positive. 3 month test are considered to conclusive.
Best wishes.
She confirmed I had inflamed tonsils and a swollen lymph on my neck. She said this is defiantly a viral infection and I should take non prescribed meds and monitor it. She also advise I get a full sexual health screen, I have arranged this for a few weeks time.
Wednesday I have no changes. But the mouth ulcers cleared up.
Thursday (today) I have an enlarged lymph in my left armpit!
On Feb 1 I developed a severe red scratchy throat, and I still had several mouth ulcers. I took Augmentin 500 3x/day for 10days. After the 10days I still had a sore throat that feels like an ulcer down my throat, and I also still had about 10 mouth ulcers as well as swollen gums. I went to my Internal MD and he put me on Medrol dose pack and Levaquin. This initially helped w/ the mouth ulcers but the one down my throat got much worse. I was given a Celestone inj and put on Orapred.
On 1 January 2013, I had a flu-like ilness, very high fever, night sweats, strong chills, mouth ulcers, sore throat, itchy skin and a small rash, red and maculopapular reappeared on my left cheek. The fever, night sweats, chills and the face rash subsided in a few days, but the other symptoms of illness remained.
On 10 January 2013 (aprox. 35 days from exposure), I took a 3'rd generation Elisa - negative results.
