Common Questions and Answers about Laryngitis contagious risk

laryngitis

Avatar f tn Giving unprotected oral to a female is very low risk for any stds and zero for hiv. The bigger risk is giving a male oral.
Avatar n tn Oral is a low risk exposure but it is a risk for certain STDs such as HSV1/2, syphilis, Gono, NGU. Although and STD would cause throat issues it would not cause laryngitis... but your doctor could have misdiagnosed you. Best suggestion would be to get tested. you were protected with the vaginal half... no worries here.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with low risk HPV a year and a half ago. I never had treatment for the purpose of not being able to afford it. At first I had cauliflower like warts and after a month, they were replaced with flesh toned warts. I'm sorry for being too graphic. So fast forward to now.... I have the same warts from a year and a half ago and I haven't had any new ones. This probably sounds stupid but am I still contagious?
Avatar f tn Okay, since 1992 I have had lots of throat infections in 1995 I had my tonsils and adanoids removed to help however it never did. And still had aleast 7 throat infections and laryngitis a year but since January this year I have had 20suvere throat infections all with laryngitis.
Avatar n tn However, a side effect of both medications is laryngitis. I recently had laryngitis for 6 weeks. It started as a virus and would not go a way. I decided it was my atrovent neb (an anticholinergic like Spiriva). My allergist thought it was my Dulera (inhaled combination med like Advair). I eliminated the atrovent and reduced my Dulera and the laryngitis healed. She needs to discus any changes in dosage with her doctor before making changes.
Avatar f tn How contagious is a staph infection such as mrsa and ringworm to infants? And how serious is it?
Avatar m tn Ive looked up laryngitis because that friday and saturday night i did drink alot of alcohol.
Avatar n tn I am on a research protocol and there are now more people, including some physicians, who believe that Th1 diseases, including fibromyalgia, are not contagious... but communicable. Transmission of bacteria requires close contact and perhaps this is why we've seen husband and wives come down with the same type of illness ? However, there haven't been any studies yet to prove this theory.
Avatar n tn Hi there, 1st of all I want to thank you for a lovely forum. I got a question I was hoping you could answer me. I was reading and I was told by two different sources on the same issue, however i got contradicting answers about it and I don't know which seems more right to you. the situation is the following: NOTE: the case/situation is theoretically and didn't really happened it is more out of curiosity and general knowledge.
Avatar m tn I am a married male and last year, I had an encounter with another man, I gave him oral sex using a condom. I know that this make for a virtually nil risk, but I had a couple of complicating factors. One, is that the condom kept riding up and I kept having to push it back down. As a result, I am not sure if I was exposed to his semen when he ejaculated (from the bottom of the condom).
Avatar n tn As someone who is still recovering from acid reflux laryngitis, I will say that it took MONTHS for my voice to return. My laryngitis started in October 2009 and continued into April 2010 with slight improvements starting in late February. When I was first diagnosed as acid reflux causing my laryngitis, I was told it would take at least three months to get my voice back.
Avatar f tn However I have been sick a few times since then and every time the virus turns straight into terrible laryngitis. Before the surgery I very rarely ever got laryngitis but now it comes on so easily and lasts for a while. Is there any reason that this would be connected to my thyroid surgery? Wondering if this is still part of the healing process or not? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
Avatar n tn If a patient complains of a sudden cough with gag reflex along with decreased hearing and ringing in the ears, vocal chord paralysis, laryngitis, night sweats. (Patient has a history and previous diagnosis of Smouldering Multiple Myeloma High risk.) CT Scan with contrast reveals a 6 mm Basilar Artery Aneurysm, forward to Neurosurgeon, NS says no link between present symptoms and aneurysm. Forward to ENT. ENT say use Flonaise, irritants/allergens most likely cause of present symptoms.
Avatar m tn It was very recently, i thought it took a while to show symptoms. just wondering how long someone is contagious with it and my chances of contracting it, like if EVERYONE would get it after engaging with someone who had it.
Avatar m tn rash associated with ARS. By the evening I had developed laryngitis and basically lost my voice, or most of it anyway and coughing up wads of phlegm, really bad int he morning. It was like this for about a week. My lymph nodes weren't swollen, or at least not that I could feel. I did notice that the sore throat started to rotate. First it would be on the right side then the left side, Sometimes it would be upper left, then lower left and vice versa. Like I said weird.
Avatar m tn I had protected sex 5 times with a friend with HSV 2. She didn't tell me until last night. She said it wasn't important because she's not contagious and hasn't had an outbreak since May then she started her meds. That's what her doctor told her she says. I automatically freaked out because thats something you should tell someone, isn't it? She said she had it for about 6 or 7 months and has been on Valacyclovir for 4 or 5 months.
Avatar n tn The tenth day tonsil inflammation (no treatment, self-healing) for seven days, 16 days, anorexia, diarrhea, 19 days revealed an enlarged left sternocleidomastoid, day 20 acute rhinitis attack (cold), 22 days of onset of acute laryngitis () a dry throat, cough, take medicine two days better, and the joint pain (off and on for nearly four months). Now the fear and anxiety have seriously affected my life, what I should do, has not been tested. Looking forward to your reply, thank you!
Avatar n tn hi , i want to ask again , if i have laryngitis, and i might ate some precum, is there still no risk at all ?
Avatar m tn your comments about when herpes is contagious are inaccurate. herpes is contagious in between obvious symptoms too.
Avatar n tn Hello, In some patients, acid can reflux into the throat causing inflammation of the back of the throat which can lead to pharyngitis, or into the vocal cords, which can lead to laryngitis and hoarseness. Although there are many other causes for sore throat and laryngitis, GERD should be suspected in a patient with chronic sore throat or other GERD symptoms or when no other cause can be found.
Avatar n tn I have developed a chronic dry cough & laryngitis, currently I have been dealing with symptoms for a month. I went thru same illness 5months ago was in the hospital & then passed around to various specialists without any real answers. I have done allergy testing, tests to rule out relfux, seen ENT, pulmonlogist, & family dr multiple times with not much success. No one can tell me why I got better last time, or why I am dealing with the same situation again.
