Avatar f tn I'm pretty sure i have strep throat but cant afford to go to the dr.
1179627 tn?1263936593 Hi, Yes, it is common to have ear aches and nasal congestion with sinusitis. Sinusitis is usually bacterial infection and treatment is mainly with antibiotics, decongestants, nasal sprays, humidifiers, expectorants etc. Nausea is a common side effect to use of antibiotics, but subsides with further use. Culture of discharge can determine the organism causing this infection and assistance in choice of antibiotics for this. Best.
Avatar f tn The fever may be making your legs ache. You can have strep throat without a fever but usually you have a fever. Do you have any pus in your tonsil area or white spots? You get tested for strep throat by a doctor. I think CVS pharmacy has a clinic too (which is cheaper if you don't have insurance).
Avatar n tn The symptoms described could be due to a throat infection, most probably streptococcal or a viral infection. Strep sore throat needs to be treated with an antibiotic as strep is a bacteria. Viral sore throat is best treated with rest, warm oral fluids and (OTC) tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain.
Avatar n tn and in my progression where a fading cough and soar throat gives way to muscle ache that has lasted some 4 days now. And what can I do to treat it and feel better soon. I am feeling fine except for the occasional fatigue/headache and constant muscle ache.
Avatar m tn My kids almost always get stomach aches with strep infections (that is when they culture your throat with the swab). Many viruses will also cause stomach issues such as nausea. On top of that, when you have a virus, you often aren't hungry and then blood sugar drops, the stomach gets irritated, etc. and it can also cause stomach issues. Coughing until one gags is common and once you gag, then throwing up is much easier.
Avatar f tn Went to Little Clinic, the APRN noticed white spots on my throat, said it was likely Strep (although I had no sore throat) but that it was too soon to test, started me on Amoxicillin anyways. I felt better a day after taking them and finished the round. The next morning after finishing the amox, after taking them for almost a week, I noticed a slight rash. It ended up getting worse, started on my chest and back, and eventually spread to arms, hands, feet.
Avatar m tn My 5yr old son has always been a good eater. Pretty much eats anything. For the last 2 weeks he has been eating very little, chewing it forever and then seems to have a problem swallowing it. He doesn't complain of a sore throat or stomach ache. We took him to the doctor to check and see if he had strep. He didn't. He was a little stuffy and the doctor gave him Flonase to help clear things out in the hopes this would help. She said to give it a week and then give her a call.
Avatar f tn First Choice best results are with in 3 days or as soon as possible. You had a stomach ache, did you have First Choice on a full or empty stomach? As for the diarrhea it could be a side effect from taking First Choice. As for the chance of pregnancy I"m not quite sure. Only way to find out is to stick with taking your birth control and take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks to make sure that First Choice was effective.
Avatar n tn I had a nasty infection last month that resulted in two perforated eardrums. Also had a very sore throat. Took antibiotics and all was well. However, this week my sore throat came back. It was there for about a day and then vanished. Then last night it came back again. I went to the doctor Monday. Rapid strep test was negative, she said it was probably viral and would likely go away in a few days. Why would it keep flaring up like this? It's really painful.
Avatar f tn I have dealt with this my whole life so I have always tried to just deal with it, but the upper left abdomen ache concerned me. When I got back from vacation my 68 pound dog was on my lap in the car (she thinks she is a lap dog) and she stood up digging her leg and weight right into that very spot that was sore already. This escalated the pain for 2 weeks where I couldnt sit and all I could do was lay on side.
Avatar m tn Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly got a sore throat- it got worse as the day progressed and I woke up with my throat hurting even worse. It hurt so bad that it actuallly woke me up at 4am and prevented me from going back to sleep. Today, my throat is killing me. It feels like I am swallowing knives & the pain is really bad if I drink, eat, breathe through my mouth and it especially hurts if I talk. I have actually held my throat with my hand while talking to prevent it from moving much.
Avatar f tn she complains of sore throat and head ache. she has periods of lethargy and times of normal activity. She was exposed to strep throat this week. Diagnosis was UTI and ear infection, she was started on keflex. she has had 1 dose this afternoon. She now has a red rash that has a "sunburn like appearance" and is rough to touch, so i am thinking scarlett fever, however the rash is primarily under her panties in the front and her armpits.
Avatar f tn she has a very, very bad sore throat, extreme headache and neck ache, dizziness, nausea, a rash covers almost her whole body. The worst symptom is 2 golf ball sized lumps at the point where her neck and spine meet. She had one of these lumps about a month ago on the front right side of her neck. She said it just went away.When they took the throat culture, it came back the next day. Now, she has this.
Avatar m tn So recently I have been having throat pain, and i took a look in the mirror with a flash light. I noticed I have yellow stuff in the back on my throat that wont move( tried with a q-tip). My tonsils are also swollen and inflamed, they also have the yellow stuff on it, that stuff wipes off though. The yellow stuff looks like mucous to me. I also have pain in my ears, head, and stomach. What could this be a sign of?
Avatar n tn I have recently changed pediatricians (ours wanted to place my son on a 24 month regimen of Penicillin – even though rapid and cultured throat strep tests are negative). Below is a rough time line of illnesses with laboratory results. I would appreciate any and all suggestions of possible avenues I may research! Respectfully!
2075737 tn?1379447682 Sneezing, headache, runny nose. So I figure its just a cold. Yesterday I woke up with a terrible sore throat and ear ache (everytime I get a bad sore throat my ears hurt too) and it lasted alll day and I still have it but now I have a white coated tongue. I think it may be strep throat. But its a damn Saturday and my dr isn't open. My next appointment isn't until Wednesday. Should I wait and try to be seen Monday or is this something that I should go to the hospital for?

Avatar n tn I would say got to the Dr and have them do a throat coulture. It sounds to me like strep throat or something else also.
Avatar n tn old son has had (what 3 doctors) have diagnosed as Erythema Nodosum, but without the change in color (no redness -- rarely a faint pink on the thigh nodules) for the past two years. Three positive strep throat cultures from 1/2006 to 2/2007. No positive strep test since 2/2007. His ASO titer has been between 800 and 1010 range for the last 2 years (last week's 1000).
Avatar n tn Recently, I have been having an upset stomach, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, vaginal itching, some vaginal blood, swollen lymph nodes, a mild fever, and a white sore in the back of my throat. My doctor said it was strep. However, I read somewhere that strep and some STDs can have the same symptoms. I am currently on ammoxicillin (spelling?) but that wasn't prescribed to me until after most of the symptoms were gone.
Avatar f tn oh yeah now i have strep throat..should i wait to go to the doctor to get antibodtics for it, because i no that it can interfer with the antibodies for chlamydia..HELP ME!
Avatar f tn On the 13th I stated getting a sore throat with low grade fever I went to the doctors did a strep culture test which came out negative. She said sometimes the tests conclude a negative result but I should take antibiotics. Towards the end of the week I felt fine and went about my life...I had a but if a dry throat and a cough but it disappeared once I decided to stop using my Ac which was full of dust...
533880 tn?1237612452 The best thing you can do for Strep, along with taking your antibiotics, is rest and lots of clear fluids. You can also gargle with warm salt water to help with the irritation in your throat. Now that you've been on antibiotics for 24 hours, you have lessened the chances of passing it to your daughter. Try not to share anything with her (foods, cups, etc.) and utilize strict handwashing/santizing practices right now. Lysol will be your best friend =).
Avatar n tn I have had a sore throat and ear ache for 10 days now, my doctor tested me for strep and it turned up negative but she prescirbed me a low dose of penicillan even though I am allergic I got a fever and was having trouble breathing that night so she prescribed me a different antibiotic the next day but I was looking at my throat today and it looks like there are white sores on my throat and it is difficult to swallow what could be the problem?
525485 tn?1314361301 do you have any mucus draining in the back of your throat? , or headache, toothache, sinus pressure and pain? if so try the neti pot mucinex d , honey and lemon(works like robintussin) but if its scrathcy and beefy red and looks like a strawberry then most likely it's strep throat with white pus or whiite spots on the tonsils or back of throat. then you will need to be seen by the doctor or np hope i helped.
Avatar f tn Sounds like you might have strep throat / throat infection. I had one recently, also started on the one side, was so sore that my gland swelled up and my ear was killing me. Made an appointment to see doc immediately as I could feel it wasn't going to miraculously get better. Doc put me on antibiotics and within a few days it felt so much better.
Avatar f tn Yet on Feb.3, 2020 I started to feel an ache with my right tonsil and now today this is how it looks (hopefully the image will show). I was wondering if it's Strep, Tonsillitis, or sinuses. There has been no coughing, no fever, no tiredness, just a sore throat when I swallow (I did rub a Q-tip to remove the yellow phlegm from it, but that made it bleed) so I left it alone. https://static.medhelp.org/user_photos/766428_tn?
