Avatar m tn Later him and my primary doctor agreed on it just being tonsillitis. I went to urgent care today and the test came back negative for strep again, the doctor said my throat looks normal and that it could be post nasal drip. He didn't say I have tonsillitis. I haven't had a runny nose but he said that pnd could still be the cause. He gave me lidocaine to swallow for pain and cough supressant, which I don't know the reason for.

Taking Tylenol/Advil around the clock for discomfort. Put on Azithromycin and Zovirax (in case there were any cankers behind tonsil that he couldn't see). Also had routine blood drawn for upcoming physical. Got results yesterday. Wbc 14.3 and Abs Neuts 12.18.

Avatar m tn At day 26, I woke up with the temperature of 38.7. I took Azithromycin and paracetomol, as well as other medication for tonsillitis and I felt really better and was able to reduce the temperature to 37.5. This morning, I woke up with 39.7 and actually I am heading to the Hospital right now. But... Can you plese tell me, can it be ARS? I planned to test tomorrow with DUO (28 days), but now I am so scared it will be positive...
Avatar m tn By the 12th day, I had a fever and a painful throat, I went to the hospital they did a swab test and told me it was a virus so they prescribed a spray. After 3 days, there was no improvement so I went back, they ascked me to open my mouth again and realised it was too big and they could tell I was in pain.
Avatar f tn Tonsillectomy is advised if there is recurrent streptococcal tonsillitis, recurrent peritonsillar abscess and chronic tonsillitis. Recurrent tonsillitis is an indication for tonsillectomy, as the tonsils may harbor the infection which keeps flaring up, or they may develop new infections. So, discuss this with your doctor it may prevent the repeated episodes. And the procedure is actually easier to do for an adult as the diameter of the oral cavity is larger.
Avatar m tn I had an extreme (Unprotected virginal sex with infected partner)exposure about 12 weeks ago, immediately went on nPEP within 24 hours,finished my nPEP more than 6 weeks ago,i last tested using antibody test at juss more than 10 weeks from exposure and just more than 4 weeks after last dose of nPEP and was negative( i prolonged my nPEP,took it for 6 weeks unsteady of 4 week out of ignorance thinking it might help) my problem is since week 4 after exposure i have been having a mild sore throat,
Avatar m tn Before all of this I was a healthy person, never had tonsillitis nor a geographic tongue nor a chronic cough. My CRP and ESR levels have been fine all the time (even during the tonsillitis). Other blood tests were all fine as well. They did multiple swab tests (candida and some viral test they said), all negative. Chest x-ray was negative as well. I feel the doctors have done little effort to find the root cause for all of this and to find the right treatment.

Avatar f tn Do you know what dose of antibiotics he took? 1000 mg of azithromycin is the treatment for chlamydia and NGU, and you'd have to be treated for that. It would probably be 2 or 4 pills, or a nasty powder they mix with water. They wouldn't give him that for a bump, unless they are incompetent.
Avatar n tn In 1966, while at Camp Pendleton Marine base, I became very sick with a sore throat, fever, chills etc. I went to the base doctor and was advised I had tonsillitis and they were too swollen to operate. I was sent to the barracks to rest. I was worse the next day and went back to the clinic. I was advised again that the doctor could not opoerate and that I should return to the barracks. That night I did not think I would survive.
Avatar m tn I am really worried about Heart Rheumatism which is strongly associated with tonsillitis, especially that I am having chest pain ,difficulty to breath and my fitness is worsening (I become tired very quickly).. I am also afraid of tonsillectomy (extraction of tonsils) which I may require >_<.. I am lost.. any help please..
Avatar m tn I gave an unprotected blow job about a week ago and now have tonsillitis and i am worried that my immune system is low because of infection and I got tonsillitis now. Could this be the reason why?
Avatar m tn The doctor said the pain when urinating looked most likely like urinal tract infection due to chlamydia and I got prescribed azithromycin. While all tests results have not been out yet, I started feeling extra sore on the right side of my throat and pain of lymph nodes on the neck a few days after my visit to the doctor's. And then I found that now there are areas of white spots in my throat.
Avatar m tn On 12/27, I noticed symptoms similar to strep throat- sore throat, feeling tired, enlarged/red tonsils, decreased appetite, but no other symptoms. On 12/28 I examined my throat and saw multiple white spots and streaks on both tonsils. The throat pain was not agonizing, and rather irritating. If strep were an 8-9/10, this was a 4-5/10. I went to an urgent care on 12/23, but didn't disclose the encounter. They did a strep swab, which was negative.
Avatar n tn Hello, i'm new to this forum. i'm 27 years old, and i'm overweight. for the last couple of months i've been having recurring tonsillitis, and i also have sinus problem that often come and go for years. but this last few days i've been having cold face sweating especially in the evening and night, headache, and feeling very tired even after walking a few meters (my face would flush and sweat).
Avatar m tn Recently i undergo few tests and found that my TSH level is 12.020. I went to doc and been asked to go for FT3 and FT4. Also he told me to start thyronorm - 25mg. Today i got the report which says T3, Free, FT3, SERUM @ 2.48 pq/mL and T4, Free, FT4, SERUM @ 1.29 nq/dL. Since last few years i have put on a lot weight and also feeling very lethargic. Past one years i have been suffered by acute tonssilitis. My question is : 1) What does TSH / FT3 and FT4 in my report suggest?
Avatar f tn So where do I start. I’d never had tonsillitis before ever! And within a few months of turning 17 I got it and it never went! I had constant tonsillitis for months 9 to be specific and during that time I was back and forwards with antibiotics etc. During this time I also had two quinseys one other the space of a week, one over a course of a day(extreamly painfull) I visited A and E multiple times about this!
Avatar m tn During the 3 weeks of sore throat, I had no other symptoms like cough, cold, fever, rashes, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue etc. It was a case of bad tonsillitis and pharyngitis without any other symptoms. I have been told an isolated sore throat isnt ARS. I am waiting for my 6 week post-PEP test date, which would be during first week of December. I have also been told not to test before that as it will increase my anxiety. Here are my questions 1. Is PEP at 66 hours any good at all? 2.
Avatar n tn I still was not feeling well, so went to the dr. again on Saturday and she said I was really congested and had tonsillitis and gave me Omnicef. Today is Wedensday and I am really not feeling that much better and still have the white patch on my tonsil. Shouldn't I be feeling better by now?
Avatar f tn Hello~Even though there may not appear to be an infection anymore, it is still a good idea to have the issues causing it checked out. I would certainly see the ENT and have it taken care of. Having a hole in your tonsils and still some pus means it could flare up at any time, and this time, it could be worse.
