Sore throat and rash
Common Questions and Answers about Sore throat and rash
sore
The saliva glands under my tongue were also sore. A few days into the sore throat I developed a small rash on my right arm on the inside of the elbow. Approximately a dozen small pimples, light pink to red. They didn't itch, but scratching or squeezing caused them to get a dark center. One week later the sore throat is mostly gone and the rash is beginning to fade. I am terrified now, though I did not start that way.
The rash of the ARS is not typically confined just to the legs and the ARS typically involves not only a rash and sore throat but also muscle and joint aches, fever and sometimes diarrhea. Even if all of those symptoms are present, they are far more likely to be due to the flu than the ARS.
In general, as we've said again and again on this Forum, symptoms are a terrible way to evaluate risk for HIV.
Dear doctors
My story is, that I had sex with a CSW from Thailand (working in Denmark in a Thai Massage clinic) 4 months ago, and the condom broke. I noticed a small sore/cut just below the penis head afterwards.
I asked her if she had any deseases, and replied that she did not, and that she had been tested 3 months ago
17 days after exposure, I developed a mild "on/off" sore throat in the left side of the throat.
I have been suffering from consistant itch and ringing in my ears and a sore itchy throat. I also have trouble brathing at night an morning. I have gone to several of doctors and have been tested nothing is wrong. The list ER i went to the doctor told me I had a lot of wax in my ears I went home and used a ear wax removal kit but no wax was out and still the same problem! What sholud I do. Also for the past 3 months I have been getting a rash around my neck. Do you know wht this might be?
It's been 6 months and my throat is still hurting and tonsils also. It goes away for a day or so then comes back. I had my HIV tests at 10-11 weeks come back negative and I have been tested for everything but herpes and it also came back negative, this was back in April. My armpits gets itchy and sometimes hurt there are no swollen nodes though but sometimes my groin nodes get bigger but dont hurt. I also noticed I started to get like a rash with a few tiny red sores on my shaft.
Ive never heard of Vitamin B12 deficiency causing those symptoms. You need a mono test, and a strep test due to the rash and sore throat, also a throat culture to test for different bacterias (Strep A and Strep B). The rapid strep tests they do in the clinic only test for one type of strep. Also, even though rare anymore, you should ask them about possible scarlet fever. You need a new CBC done, it is possible that the WBC has went up since the last test.
I have two small acnes on my lips (could it be herpes, how can i tell?), and i`m starting to believe the sore throat is back.The rash never really went away, i have a feeling it becomes more visible/more red after exercise.
I however havent experienced any other symptoms (no fever, no swollen lymph glands, no muscle-aches, no diarehha).
What do you think?
Pls, help me out.
of symptoms mentioned on your page, how sore does the sore throat need to be (can hardly speak and swallow, or just vaguely irritating) and how high does the fever need to be, to be indicative of a possible infection?
How would you rate the following symptoms after intercourse with a prostitute (but condom-protected)?
Cough and sneeze starting 10 days after, sore throat starting 13 days after but lasting until today (19 days after the incident). Not really painful, but annoying.
I’m late answering this but i was diagnosed with strep even though i suspected mono but the doctor put me on amoxicillin anyways. I had taken seven days of amoxicillin feeling the sickest i had ever felt but developed no rash so the doctor didn’t worry. After 7 days of being on amoxicillin my throat finally felt better and i did not feel sick anymore. I went to sleep that night and woke up at 5am itching and had developed a full body rash over night.
I saw a doctor and he said it had minor irritation and was a viral sore throat and took a culture, and prescribe an antihistamine and a nasal spray for night time, the severity is the most in am upon waking. I have been a hypochondriac and hope that these symptoms are stress and travel related because i traveled out of the country the week prior as well. All people that i trqaveled with had a simliar sore throat but theres subsided after a couple days.

On June 21st I developed a brief fever that was gone when I woke up on the 22nd. I started to develop a sore throat that day though. On the 24th I still had a sore throat and developed a rash over my throat, arms, and upper chest. This rash lasted about 2 days, but I still had a bad sore throat. On July 1st I went to an ENT doctor and he thought I had tonsillitis so he gave me some medication and my symptoms started to go away within 1 day. By July 3rd and 4th i was feeling almost normal.
It looks like a bad case of eczema and is found on my left arm, thighs and feet and is somewhat itchy. I got a mild cold (sore throat, coughing) at the same time but no fever or swollen glands. I want to get your opinion on whether these resemble ARS symptoms at all, even though I know that symptoms are not reliable indicators. It'd still help to hear what you think as I anxiously wait for my travels (and test). Thank you very much for your help.
m on my 17th week of interferon and ribavarin and lately my tongue and throat feel dry and very sensitive...like a burning/stinging sensation. The Dr. doesn't say much about it. Matter of fact...pretty much anything..he sums up to side effects. For example...I have these bumpy red spots on my arms, neck and legs. They itch constantly and the surface of my skin has become leathery. My blood panel isn't to far out of whack..except my TSH which is a 45.1...
