Things worsened and I went to a urgent care. I tested negative for Strep and Mono. I ended up having a peritonsillar abscess. This had to be drained and my fever immediately dropped after. The ENT tested the puss and it came back negative. Negative for what? I have no idea, I never asked.
Since then I have been mainly had intermittent leg soreness and fatigue, but it is real random when it happens.
What I am more concerned about is my oral sores.

So here's the situation...
Had a one night stand Saturday night - I'm a 24 female who had protected vaginal sex with a male, then I gave him oral sex unprotected and also did anal sex unprotected (first time) which was the stupidest mistake of my life. I have only had 4 partners and prior to this guy I hadn't had sex in over 9 months.

So I called a doc and they told me that i can make a schedule after 3 weeks as I have a quinsy. I had a whitish tonsil even before but did get symptoms shortly few hours later after my oral escapade (so from wednesday eve to thursday).
I have white tonsil, orange-redish throat and ulcers on the back of my tongue.
On penis i do not see any symptoms well maybe except it being a bit red but honestly that could be from irritation.
Tonsillectomy is advised if there is recurrent streptococcal tonsillitis, recurrent peritonsillar abscess and chronic tonsillitis.
But please check to see if your symptoms could be due to a post nasal drip, which can cause a chronic irritation in the throat. This could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens.
I recently recovered from a bout of Quinsy/very swollen throat/tonsilitus and was proscribed antibiotics which gave me oral thrush as a side effect. Since all other symptoms have disappeared I still have raised lumps at the back of my tongue and I can feel them going down my throat a little. They are the same colour as my tongue or a little paler and of varying sizes.
Should I be worried? I'm not sure what these are!
I feel way much better. No pain, no fevers, etc. The abscess is really small, like dots. I asked if it was contagious when I was there and the person I asked told me "as long as you're getting better, it shouldn't be contagious". I was also wondering can I kiss anybody now that I've been on antibiotics for 10 days? I would like to hear from other people. Thank you in advance.
If it is a sharp, shooting pain it could be sciatica. That is where your sciatic nerve is.
Naturally I thought it was tonsillitis ( I had the infection before 4 years ago and that time it developed into quinsy. )
Was given Penicillin V for 10 days. I finished the course but the infection wasn't cleared and after a week was given another 10 day course. By day 8 I had lost my remaining capsules to finish the course but was told by a nurse I didn't need it since all was normal. Two days later my infection got worse.
Any Ideas on what it might be? Sinus infection? post nasal drip? (I have allergies), peritonsillar infection or something else?
Don't panic yet, it can be hard to see well so early on. If the due date is not totally accurate you could be even earlier on than you think.
After 7-10 days I started to feel better and believed I was on the mend but before a week of starting to feel better had gone by my symptoms got worse again. This time the throat was more painful, there was a significant postnasal drip and my head just felt fuzzy all the time.
This just seemed to go on, however I was convinced any day I'd start feeling better.
The most frequent presenting symptoms are headache, drowsiness, confusion, seizures, hemiparesis or speech difficulties together with fever with a rapidly progressive course. The symptoms and findings depend largely on the specific location of the abscess in the brain.Endocarditis,frontal sinus defect,gram negative bacilli Brain Abscess Following Klebsiella pneumoniae Septicemia are some of the causes.
Tonsillectomy is advised if there is recurrent streptococcal tonsillitis, recurrent peritonsillar abscess and chronic tonsillitis. But if there are no signs of inflammation of tonsils, its unlikely there is tonsillitis.
Having your tonsils and adenoids removed helps reduce the amount of Strep throats, but it doesn't eliminate your susceptibility to catch viruses which can cause throat infections.
I have a large swollen/painful abscess in my lower right facial cheek area. i have received antitbiotics for the infection. Do i need to have it drained? If so what type of Doctor/Dentist do you recommend?
My ENT said that it has a more painful recovery but is the BEST procedure to get the full tonsil out and to prevent post-op bleeding. I had a peritonsillar abscess a couple of weeks ago and have been told that once you get one they keep on coming back...with avengence. I also suffer from chronic tonsillitis.
I wanted to know if these symptoms were brain abscess symptoms. I am a bit of a hypacondriact and I always think the worst is happening when it's usually very normal issues. IE if i have slight chest pain, I will think I have heart issues. That sort of thing. I think maybe my anxiety is getting the better of me.
Any help would be appreciated.
In Nov 2008, I had a swelling below my right breast which was diagnosed as "Abscess". It would ooze out puss with blood and was very painful. After healing,a scar developed around that spot and A FOUL SMELL THAT OF PUS actually emanates from that area(i.e when you touch the area surrounding the scar)
What could be happening inside?
