Common Questions and Answers about Strep infection gums
infection
How are you feeling now? Have the gums improved? Usually the mouth in particular isn't associated with strep throat.
My throat is no longer as painful as it was originally, but it is still very painful and colored the same way. Also, the infection has spread to my gums and gums feel smooth to my tongue, are red, black, and white, and are also very painful. Also, two more canker sores have appeared in the last 48 hours. I have an appointment to see my PCM at the beginning of next week. Is there anyway you could shed some light on to what is happening in my mouth?
P.S.
If the spots were small and splotchy streaks and mixed with red streaks it could be a strep infection. As for the thrush--Sometimes when a person takes too many antibiotics (if the child has been on any) they can kill off the good bacteria in the mouth as well as the bad, thus causing the thrush infection to grow. The more antibiotics you take for thrush, the worse it gets. Antifungal medication such as nystatin is usually a good medication to take.
The other 2 guys I didn’t know very well at all but I’ve also had protected sex with them too only unprotected oral with both guys, one didn’t precum at all and the other one had a ton of Precum which is starting to make me scared, but he only went inside of me with the condom on one time and then took it out because it was too big, I’ve just noticed maybe a month ago my gums is acting up idk what it could be on one side my gums bleed sometimes even for no reason at all !
Today i went into emergency room due to what i thought was a strep infection. The dr there told me i have herpes in my mouth and thats what was causing me to have a fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes and swollen gums and etc. I was shocked since im not sexually active, my doctor suggested i get tested for hiv and gonnorhea since im consider high risk now? my only exposure was the needlepoke which was i was told here not to worry about about it. Should i be worried about hiv?
You shouldn't treat yourself as it may be the wrong treatment. There are complications you can get from clindamycin also and it is not a good choice. If you have a viral infection you won't need antibiotics. If you had strep throat you wouldn't have an ear infection usually. It can happen but isn't usually the way it presents. Do you have a high fever? Pus in the throat, or rash?
Post nasal drip as in sinusitis, salivary glands infection, pharyngitis or strep infection too are common causes. Certain dentures and artificial tooth or filling of dental cavities too give a metallic taste. Sjogren’s syndrome and copper or lead toxicity are other possibilities.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Hope this helps.
the sore throat was very painful and the gum bleeding was bad. come to find out it was a bacterial throat infection. the weirdest part was that i had strep many times over the years and it never caused the swelling in my gums and the bleeding. after the second or third dose or antibiotics, my gums were practically back to normal and of course my sore throat and the pus covering my tonsils started to clear.
, red rash on left wrist, sore throat and strep throat, sore and burning gums). All of these according to various articles on the Internet are early signs of HIV. I am just wondering with the accumulation of symptoms that I have
not sero converted despite the negative test results.
5. Given all of this, should I feel confident that further testing will be negative ? I assume that you have a record or recall of my previous questions dealing with the actual exposure and risks.
However, if you really suspect strep, you need to see a doctor. Even when strep throat improves on its own, an antbiotic is necessary to reduce the risk of serious complications, including rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis, a serious kidney disease. These are rare today but extremely serious, so don't take chances.
The first couple of days, I did not have a sore throat. The third day, I developed a sore throat as well as multiple canker sores on my gums and way back near my wisdom teeth. My gums in certain areas are tender and feel blistered and the roof of my mouth has the same feeling as if I burnt it on something hot. I have been using "Kanka" to numb my mouth because it is almost impossible for me to eat, but other than that, I don't know what to do or why this has happened.
If so then the virudans strep could also be the problem and viridans strep are more resistant to antibiotics. But I would check with your doctor on this and see if the Strep group B and Viridans strep were sensitive to Levoflaxacin. If they are it may be a suitable substitute. Why do you want to stop the Ciprofloxacin or switch? Do you have another problem you want to treat in addition to the urinary tract infection and prostate or is the cipro not working?
Are there any other ailments/ infections that is very similar to a primary oral HSV 1 outbreak? Blisters in mouth, on tongue and gums, flu like symptoms, malaise, fever, ect?? Just curious? Anyone?
There are many reasons for a foul taste in mouth such as medications, infection of gums or cavities in teeth, post nasal drip as in sinusitis, salivary glands infection, pharyngitis or strep infection, dentures and artificial tooth or filling of dental cavities, Sjogren’s syndrome and copper or lead toxicity, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, liver problems, vitamin B12 deficiency, and over consumption of fluoride which is commonly present in certain mouthwashes and toothpastes , certain vitamins (T
Red and swollen gums is just one of the symptoms of gingivitis. other indications of gingivitis are bleeding gums and bad breath.Proper oral health hygiene is the best way in preventing red and swollen gums. so,you have to consult with dentist as soon as possible.
I got tested for strep and mono and both were negative. Almost all of my symptoms have passed except for my sore throat, but now I am developing a large amount of canker sores... I have 4 on my lips, 4 on my gums and 2 on my tongue... my gums are swollen and my tonsils have many white spots on them... i still struggle through eating even ice cream and have lost about 10 pounds (which is not a good thing when you have very little to lose)...
October, November, and December, I got the infection in just my tooth holes, gums, and tongue. Negative for strep. No doctor could figure out what was wrong, so I was continually prescribed antibiotics. I went to my oral surgeon who removed my wisdom teeth, he really didn't believe me and took x-rays. He said everything looked fine. January and February I was infection free. Come March 2015, I once again had the infection, no strep.
Other than that there are many reasons for a foul taste in mouth such as medications, infection of gums or cavities in teeth, post nasal drip as in sinusitis, salivary glands infection, pharyngitis or strep infection, dentures and artificial tooth or filling of dental cavities, Sjogren’s syndrome and copper or lead toxicity, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, liver problems, vitamin B12 deficiency, and over consumption of fluoride which is commonly present in certain mouthwashes and toothpastes , cer
I looked into my mouth with a mirror and flashlight andsaw lesions (yellowish) all over the roof of my mouth, the gums around my teeth and even near the back of my throat (almost like strep). I researched online and found pictures that looked like me and called my family doctor to be seen that day. I could barely talk at this point.
sore throat,went to Urgent Care and was diagnosed with strep (without a culure) and given antibiotics. The sore throat did not respond within the 2-3 days, but subsided after 5 days.
