Avatar n tn My mouth has these really hurtful ulcers, my throat and toncils are painful and swollen and my neck glands are so painful. I went to the doctor and was neg. for strep. I got some antibiotics and some viral medicine but it hasnt been getting any better. all i have been able to eat is jello and popcicles. How long did it take to go away? what did you take or do?
Avatar n tn My 15 year old daughter frequently gets mouth ulcers which causes her great discomfort and pain. Has anyone else been through this and have they any advice on possible causes?
Avatar f tn I agree with AnnieBrooke - you need to be seen by a different doctor! And preferably an ear, nose and throat doc! When you have a throat so sore that you can barely swallow, can't eat at all and have ulcers on your tonsils, SOMETHING definitely needs to be done! Did your doc even bother to do a strep test or anything? Strep throat can also cause ulcers in the throat and mouth and strep is definitely something that neeeds to be treated with antibiotics.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn All sores are inside the mouth (none at all on the outside of the mouth or around the lips - ever), on the soft palate around the mouth and on the sides and underside of the tongue and below, not the gums and not inside the throat but on the soft palate of the throat - in front of the tonsils.
Avatar n tn I did not suspect oral thrush, but are there other types of mouth ulcers and conditions associated with seroconversion? The second link to the medical picture I posted does not look like thrush either, that's more my concern.
Avatar m tn Don't worry. I have mouse ulcers all the time. Well, not all the time. Sometime one in 3 months, sometime 3 in month. Doctors don't know actualy what causes this condition. They beleive it can be caused by stress and/or injury (like if you have habit to byte your lips), not enough sleep, poor food intake. When all this thing You put together (stress + injury + lack of goog sleep + poor food) you get low imunity which cause mouse ulcers. I have this ulcers since my childhood.
Avatar f tn This time I went to the doctor because the back of my throat also had ulcers. The doctor swabbed one of the ulcers and said she was gonna send it to be tested for herpes and for shingles. She said if they didnt call then the tests were negative. So I didn't get a call, the ulcers slowly went away, and I was relieved. However, in the past week and a bit the ulcers have been reappearing, and the glands in my neck are swollen and painful.
Avatar m tn Dear Dr.Anitha, thank you so Much For your Reply & Rich Answer, i went already to a number of ENT , the last 2 of them say i should remove my tonsils , if i want to get ride of the swollen lymph nodes & the sore throat , then this is the solution, what i'm worry about is , i have my tonsils for my whole life , why just now it come chronic ( also could it be the reason for the swollen lymph nodes , sore throat & mouth ulcers .
Avatar n tn Welcome to our Forum. The ulcers you describe are not related to your sexual contact 4 months ago. The only STD that might cause the sort of recurring ulcers that you describe is herpes and your symptoms do not fit with HSV.
Avatar f tn There are many causes for mouth and tongue ulcers. If you want to know why YOU have them, visit your doctor and ask. HIV is about the least likely thing on the list of things that can commonly cause mouth ulcers.
Avatar m tn Apply chlorhexidine gel or any other oral antiseptic gel you can find twice daily on your mouth ulcers and leave it on for 2 mins and then do warm salt water gargles. Drink or eat half hour after application. Take OTC multivitamins rich in riboflavin to counter the mouth ulcers. If it still persists consult your dentist. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn No worries here. Test results always are more reliable than symptoms in judging whether someone has HIV, because the symptoms of HIV are highly variable. Even the classical and highly typical symptoms of HIV or AIDS are more commonly caused by other conditions. And you don't have such symptoms anyway. Mouth ulcers can occur in people with HIV, but only in those with advanced disease, i.e.
Avatar n tn I used a medicated mouthwash for a couple of weeks and this dissapeared but the ulcers have not. Please help all the info i have found about prolonged mouth ulcers point to HIV or mouth cancer but surely after so long i would have other symptoms. If i have been exposed to HIV in my past it would be at least 10 years ago.
Avatar f tn Yes they are entirely inside the mouth and usually small, going away quickly but annoying and painful!! They are also not the biggest deal as long as I don't have bigger things to worry about. I thank you for your comments and for putting my mind at ease.
Avatar n tn 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. Also taking Pepsid. Throat neg for strep and mouth ulcers neg for Herpes. This helped for about 3 days but then the pain has come back.
Avatar f tn I went to another doctor and she saw the ulcers and gave bacterial antibotic and valacyclovir. The doctor did not say I had HSV-1 but I was scared once I read the description of what Valacyclovir used for. So I got tested using HerpeSelect test. Testing for HSV1 and HSV2 and the results came back negative. Throughout this year I've been tested (blood tests) for Herpes about 4 times. They all came back negative.
Avatar m tn This can lead to bad breath, cracked lips, and a sore mouth and throat. It can also cause difficulty with eating and swallowing, mouth ulcers, tooth decay and tooth sensitivity. Visit your dentist twice a year for a routine check up Avoid hot or spicy foods, which can irritate a dry mouth. Choose soft, mashed or minced foods if eating is painful Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing, particularly after meals and before bed.
Avatar n tn My mother has been suffering from a host of conditions relating to her mouth for the last three months, and presently, her painful mouth and throat ulcers with difficulty in swallowing food. It all started with her teeth. Her old 'bridge' had worn out was to have been replaced. She had root canal treatment done to several of her teeth.
Avatar m tn I developed mouth ulcer 30 yeas ago. I had them everyday for years. Then had upper GI done. They found my sphincter doesn't close all the way. Treat was Prilosec (omeprisole) for 14 day and swish with Maalox to heal. That has work up until about a month or so ago. Now they are in my throat and the said treatment doesn't seem as affected. I view it as I caught a virus and is activate when you have a gastric episode. I had an EMT look at my throat. He said he saw healing and no concerns.
Avatar m tn Last Friday I work up with a sore throat. I looked into my mouth and I could see an ulcer above my tonsils that was very red, that night I got the chills and night sweats very bad. The next day I got up and my tonsils both white spots all over them and were red. I went and saw the Doctor and they confirmed that I had strep throat. They put me on amoxicillin for the next 10 days I also have had night sweats for the past 6 nights.
Avatar f tn I had protected intercourse with a women who was masturbating while we were having intercourse. At some point during the episode she licked her fingers that she was masturbating with (for lubrication I presume) and she later kissed me. I'm concerned as I had a few small ulcers on my mouth at the time and she recently had her period and had warned me that there may be blood prior to having intercourse. I don't think I could see any visible blood on the condom.
Avatar n tn t know how long they have been there for, but my throat had been hurting for about 2 weeks and i looked in my mouth and saw white lesions and ulcers in my mouth. The first thing i did was go to the doctor, because i do have a boyfriend and you never know right? The doctor told me it was herpes, and did a swab of the infected area.
