Abscess throat

Common Questions and Answers about Abscess throat

abscess

Avatar n tn t been already - as we all know from inadvertently getting water up your nose or inhaling something, that the sinuses do drain down our throat, so if you have a sinus infection or abscess, it could be draining into your throat causing the horrid taste. It's possible that if this is the case, you notice it when you yawn because just the act of yawning stretches the mouth and can put pressure on the sinus area, therein possibly causing it to drain. Are you running any fever? any chills?
Avatar m tn Over the past 18 months I have had three anal abscesses, and I had another abscess approximately 6 years ago. In all cases these abscess presented quickly (within 2 days) and I have had to have 3 of 4 drained by the surgeon. My most recent was caught early so my doctor decided to try Augmentin before having me see a surgeon to have it drained. But, I'm getting concerned that this definitely doesn't seem normal for someone who is healthy and my age -- 29 years old.
Avatar n tn my son had a lump appear on his throat its a size of a golf ball covering half his airway he has had 2 different types of antibiotics but still there my son is 4 and under ent for his ears
Avatar m tn by the time i got to the er the doctor told me that my abscess was 1 inch by 3/8 of an inch big. that is pretty large for an abscess. with something like this the longer you put it off the worst it will get. hope you feel better soon.
Avatar n tn Today i noticed that my ear was sore, and found a lump in my earlobe, it hurts when i touch it and appears to be turning a bit purple, i also noticed the lymph node on my throat is swollen.. any ideas as to what it may be?
Avatar f tn In early March he developed a fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. He saw a doctor and strep throat and mono were ruled out as a cause. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 3 times a day for 10 days. He felt fine after a couple of days and all was well. But about two weeks later the same symptoms returned (w/ a fever of 101.6) and the doctors ruled out strep and mono once again and put him on the same medication regimen. Could his symptoms possibly stem from a tooth abscess??
Avatar f tn went to the Er cuz I was having tooth pain and throat pain as well as a swollen throat the dr said it could be from a abscess but didn’t bother even checking
Avatar m tn Probably a viral infection. I recently had a hiv fear although i used protection. My sixth week(actually five weeks, 6 days 12 hours to be precise) elissa fourth gen test came out negative. I'm a little sure that it can't be because of hiv. I have a wisdom tooth on my left side that is causing a tooth to decay. I got dental abscess about a month back. I didn't treat the dental abscess. This sore throat is pretty annoying.
Avatar n tn You could see if any of the draining areas have any evidence of infection, like tonsils, the skin, tooth abscess or an ear infection. Infections like tuberculosis can cause lymphadenopathy. It would be worthwhile to see if other lymph groups are enlarged namely, axilla and groin, these can be palpated. If persisting consult your doctor for an evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn My dog got bit by a pitbull on the neck and i believe it has gotten infected and his throat got really swollen its the size of a baseball i want to get him help but my family does not agree and how much am i looking at paying for him to get help?
Avatar m tn Also having an abscess on left buttock which itself has ruptured and pus is draining. Also feeling slight congestion in throat. What's causing the fever and why node swelled up.I heard that low grade fevers could indicate something serious. Plz help i am worried. All my blood works (CBC,LFT,KFT, Thyroid, Blood sugar)were normal 1 month back.
Avatar f tn Last night I noticed a lump behind my ear. I've had swollen lymph nodes numerous times so I knew it wasn't that. It felt like a bubble, was tender and felt warm. Around the same time, every time I stood up or bent down, I had an excruciating pain in the left front side of my head and at times the left top side of my nose simultaneously. Sometimes the shooting pain in my head alone happens when I am just sitting still.
Avatar m tn About 3 years ago I had a returning throat abscess and ate about 4 cures of antibiotics before my tonsillits were removed. So, my 7 infections this year is without any tonsillits. The doctors I have met, specialists in ear, nose and throat disorders, have no clue and still just keeps on giving me antibiotics. Therefore I am seeking help online and wonder, what could be the cause of all the infections?
Avatar n tn A lump in the throat could be a cyst, an abscess, a swollen lymphnode or an area of localized inflammation due to post nasal drip or reflux of gastric contents. Since you drink, possibility of reflux are high. Please consult an ENT and get this investigated. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar n tn Can a tooth be abscessed without any gum swelling, and cause this swelling in my throat? A few years ago I had an abscess on the bottom left wisdom tooth. After swelling went down, the dentist did surgery to build up the bone.
Avatar m tn That lasted about a week, as soon as those symptoms started to fade away I got a sore throat, but only on my right side. That was 2 weeks ago and I still have the sore throat. What gives? Again, all other symptoms are gone except for the sore throat. What could this be?
Avatar f tn I came down with flulike/mono symptoms two weeks ago. My throat is not sore, but on the left side, there is a swollen mass that is in the same area my tonsil would be. A NP was afraid it was an abscess, but my dr didn't think it was. My blood work is still out on an official mono dx, but the thing in my throat is not getting any smaller. It sometimes makes me keep like gagging. Any idea what this is? Or if I need to see an ENT to have it drained/removed? Thanks!
Avatar f tn My lower lip has swollen up over the top lip. I have nothing that looks like an abscess, but symptoms are very familiar to me. Also, feverish, sore throat and dry mouth.
Avatar f tn m a work it makes me sleepy) and the pain from my tooth abscess has gotton worse and now the swelling is spreding and my throat hurts. The pain from the tooth abscess has spred from the far left cornor of my jaw to my ear and even under my chin. I can't see a denist till next week and this is only getting worse. I already went to the er that is how i got these meds. The clidamycin is also making me very sick to my stomic.
Avatar n tn I dont know but that has been happening to me a lot os well! I hope you feel better!
Avatar f tn Prior to the first incounter, I had cut my gums and had a wound. After the sex, I had an abscess pop up on my gum line. I popped it a couple times, but it kept coming back. Around 7/18, I got a sore throat and just an ill feeling. I had some night sweats (that may have been due to alcohol) but never a fever. Saw my doctor 7/23 and started Doxcycline just in case something was up. I then had the abscessed tooth removed 7/31.
Avatar n tn You need to run a test for moniliasis to rule this out. It could also be due to caries in tooth, abscess in gums, pyorrhea, abscess in cheek, or infection of internal ear. It could also be due to osteomyelitis of the jaw bone or due to involvement of temporomandibular joint. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. You would need to consult a dentist and an ENT specialist for this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn Anyways, It has been about 3 days and it seems like the abscess is constantly leaking pus down my throat. My throat is sore and raw, I constantly taste the foul pus, especially when i talk or put any type of pressure on the area. I can't take it being that i am a germ freak. I have tried to pop it but it just slowly comes out (no blood) and It seems like its a small, hard, white ball that kind of moves around under the gum. I don't know what to do??? Please help?
Avatar f tn It could most probably be tonsillitis and a throat infection. Throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, scratchiness in the throat, post nasal drip, malaise and loss of appetite are symptoms of tonsillitis. It can be caused by bacteria like streptococcus or it could be a viral infection. Bacterial infections need antibiotics. Infections in the throat cause lymph node enlargement. As, it is subsiding with the infection, it is the most likely cause.
Avatar n tn If you know for sure she does have bad teeth, then teeth would be the first thing I would think of. If she has an abscess under a tooth, it would cause quite a swelling. And it would be likely to affect the nearest lymph nodes, and cause swelling there too. There has to be a solution found for the vet's inability to examine her mouth.If she is that bad when examined, she will have to be sedated fully, for the vet to take a look. But it is wise to do that I think.
Avatar m tn Hello, A dental examination is important for detecting the cause of your symptoms. It is possible that there could be an abscess or retention of debris under the bridge. A loose crown can lead to lodgement of bacteria under it and cause bad odour.Other causes of bad breath from mouth are tooth decay, sinus disease or gum diseases or reflux disease. Tonsilloliths can also cause bad breath, sore throat, white debris, difficulty in swallowing and tonsillar swelling .These are only possibilities.
