Common Questions and Answers about Laryngitis is it contagious

laryngitis

Avatar n tn No it wouldn't be contagious since I'm assuming they are not having sex. She most likely called in because she is too uncomfortable, she doesn't want to be itching down there and be in pain while caring for your dad. I doubt she is making it up since that is a pretty embarrassing thing to tell someone you work for.
Avatar f tn I get laryngitis after bouts of sinus infections or colds. I think it comes about from the infectious post nasal drip that constantly runs down my throat. It gets pretty terrible. The last time I had it was for 2 weeks or so. You really need to rest, drink plenty of fluids. If it's from an infection then you need to try to flush that infection out. I will get laryngitis also from constantly trying to clear my throat as well.
Avatar f tn Hi, I went to ent the other day he used a camera to check my throat hes sent me for ultrasound scan and a CT scan due to a suspicious lump he says he thinks its an abcess or ulcer but couldnt see how big it was, now curious if it is an abcess or ulcer how on earth can it be removed as I have a few of them and antibiotics have never cleared them ?
Avatar f tn Hi, transient loss of voice and hoarse voice are the typical symptoms of laryngitis. It is inflammation of the larynx (voice box). It is mainly caused by virus and treatment depends on type of virus affected. Even serological tests will help to identify the responsible pathogens. It can be treated with appropriate anti viral.

Avatar f tn Woke up feeling really sick sore throat and my ears are hurting and i can hardly breathe through my nose.
Avatar n tn As such most of the general population have it. Cold Sores are quite common and nothing to be ashamed about. It could quite possibly be Canker Sores as well. If your worried then go and see your doctor. Don't stress yourself out over it, stress has been known to cause those kinds of breakouts. If your boyfriend has them then the best bet would be to wait until the sores have healed before you kiss again as they are contagious.
Avatar f tn A PCR test becomes positive sooner than the antibody test but is not usually the first test given as it is more expensive. So if you know you have been exposed to a high level of risk then ask for a PCR test.
Avatar n tn being already with HSV-1 gives a significant protection from accuairing it in another site but it could be possibile to get it genitally too read more at herpes.com..
Avatar n tn Yes, it is true.
Avatar f tn I've had HSV 2 for over 10 years now and rarely have outbreaks. I recently had an outbreak and took Lysine to help and it feels like it is cleared up (it's been 9 days). Today I looked at the outbreak region with a handheld mirror and although the region no longer hurts, I can see what looks like a healing scar where the outbreak was. Should I wait until the area looks completely back to normal before having sex again? Can the outbreak be completely over if a scar still exists?
Avatar f tn I got really worried so I was referred to an ENT doctor, he said it was just reflux laryngitis since he examined it with an endoscopy. So he prescribed me amoxicillin for 7 days which helped a little but the bumps never went away. Sometimes, I would experience bad chills with no fever at all especially when I sleep. They would come back one day & another day, I would feel normal. I also noticed one white small tonsil stone above one of my tonsils.
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 I was not too comfortable for i didnt know much about it and yes i was wondering if having sex with him is contagious..He had told me that he doesnt get the rash below on his private parts but only on his back ..not much but still a few ..I am a little concerned about the sex part with him..I havent had sex yet with him due to that..I am very uncomfortable and yes afraid to get herpes..Can you pls help me out and tell me if its contagious..and also oral sex can i get it..
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 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 f tn Is it possible to have another outbreak again? Is it still contagious? Is it possible to transmit it unto his genital area during sex and oral sex after the outbreak? Is there any medication to prevent another outbreak?
