Avatar f tn Hello, For a couple years now I have noticed a trend with my colds and/flus. It all began when I developed strep throat for the first time. Immediately after the worst of the strep throat was treated with antibiotics, my hands and the bottom of my feet "broke out". They became red, hot, extremely itchy. Eventually they died out and peeled in long strips. My hands and feet always do this now after every cold/flu.
Avatar n tn Last year I got hives towards the end of a strep infection. This year again I was sick and now i am feeling better but getting hives again. The strep test from the doc was negative. I am wondering, does this happen to anyone else? I am pretty sure it is not related to food or medicine. It seems to happen as my body is fighting the virus. An allergic reaction to...the virus? If so, why towards the end?
Avatar f tn So I had a sore throat achy chills etc.. and went to the dr. They didnt do a strep test but diagnosed me with strep and gave me amoxicillin. The next day I started breaking out in hives called the dr. and they said it sounds like i was alergic and to stop taking it.they sent domething else over and they continued getting worse. I went back to the dr and the did a blood test and it came back positive for mono....
Avatar m tn feeling run down, as well as having a Loss of Appetite Sounds like Strep Throat or Mono, but did you have a Sore Throat or Fever at any point?? Taking Antibiotics, like Penicillin/Amoxicillin would've Helped if it was Strep, & IF it was Strep w/in 24hrs of starting Antibiotics you're no longer Confessors. I actually just learned all about Strep, bc about 1.
Avatar f tn We got medicine for his strep and then just gave him oatmeal baths and used non scented lotion. It got really bad and the entire top layer of his skin ended up peeling off. It was not fun. Just a suggestion, hope I could help.
Avatar f 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. For the cough (dry) antitussives with Dextromethorphan based syrups like Triaminic may help.
Avatar n tn May 12th I noticed white clumping around my tonsils, which I figured to be strep throat. I called my gynecologist and she prescribed me something called the Z pack. I started taking it that day. May 14th all of the cultures and blood that the hospital and my gynecologist took came back negative for any STDs or HSV1 or HSV 2. May 15th I saw my dermatologist who guessed that it might be Behcet's. She prescribed me prednisone and a topical cream for the ulcers.
Avatar n tn It is now Saturday, my daughter was diagnosed with strep throat Wednesday night and started amoxicillin in the urgent care, Friday afternoon she broke out in a itchy rash...mostly on her torso but some on her legs, neck, and arms. She has been on amoxicillin several times before from ear infections when she was little. The only difference with that is it is no longer pink (the amoxicillin).
Avatar f tn I know strep throat is going around have u been sick I had a sore throat and a rash and found out I had scarlet fever which u need antibiotics to get rid of

335728 tn?1331414412 The possibility of a strep infection begs for immediate treatment. Be seen asap. The immune suppression is temporary, but a minor infection can turn much more serious very quickly. If it was me, I would be trying to get checked for strep and started on antibiotics immediately. The meds can always be stopped if the culture is negative. I say this because it is the body's immune system that keeps a strep throat localozed to the throat and doesn't let it seed through the body.
Avatar f tn I got strep throat with a fever but it was quickly heeled with antibiotics in 3 days ,but while on antibiotics I had a little diarrhea but that's went away tho I was also drinking a lot. I also have been breaking out in hives a lot lately. My eyes are sensitive to light sometimes but that maybe because I mm blind in one eye. I'm freaking out I'm so scared I don't even want to get tested.
1742112 tn?1311647221 Hello, These rashes that come and go are due to hives and they appear and disappear in response to viral infections(with preceding sore throat) and medications. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can be used. Your child should take a comfortably cool bath and covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching.
Avatar n tn The last two times that I gave him oral sex I broke out in the most painful blisters on my tonsils. I went to the Dr. because I thought that I had strep throat and the test came back as just a virus, however, I don't know what virus.
Avatar f tn I woke up with a sore throat neck swollen and tender, headache, and just achy.. Then next Day same thing but had a rash all over my body. Light pink dots everywhere. Not itchy at all, but face was flushed. Next day same thing but spots darker red on belly, back and neck, and looks a lot like a sunburn on face arms..feels like it too (radiating heat, sensitive to touch). Havent been in the sun. Ive been taking lamotrigine for about 2 weeks and I know its associated with some serious rashes.
Avatar f tn i kept him home from school (he will be 4 in december) and on Tuesday i noticed 3 Hives on his face. He is allergic to penicillin but none was given. I brought him o the dr and she said it could be from the virus. He went to school that day for the 2.5 hrs hes in prek. Wednesday he woke up coughing like crazy. Again i brought him and she said it was the start of CROUP. His lungs were clear and she said to give him 15mg of Prednosolone 2 tiems a day. ...it seems to get the coughing to ease up.
Avatar f tn 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. there is some on her back but it's not nearly as noticable as the other 2 locations.
Avatar n tn Okay - I've seen this question asked a million places and a million different ways but none of the answers were the same and none of the questions were very much like my situation so I figured I'd give it a try (sorry if you've seen this a ton of times before!). My boyfriend is in the military and the last two times I've gone to visit him on base I have performed unprotected oral sex and gotten strep throat.
1624191 tn?1299191803 Two months later I had a fever and sore throat. I went to my doctor back in Missouri and the tests said it was Strep throat. Is Strep a symptom of HIV? Or could a viral infection be mistaken for strep? Also would a blood test after two months from sex session show a reliable result whether it is HIV or not?
Avatar f tn My brother tested positive for strep throat today and I've been around him..they're supposed yo induce on Monday. If I am to come down with strep will they still induce? How soon will strep affect me if I've caught it? And is there anything I can do meanwhile to help fight any bacteria I've already been exposed to?

Avatar f tn Hi everyone, recently I went to the doctor with a nasty sore throat that had started to get swollen and accumulate white spots. He tested me for strep and found that it was not that, and my lymph nodes are not swollen for it to be mono. He said it was a viral infection that should last about three to four days. Anyway, the next day, I performed oral sex on my boyfriend. The day after that, I realized the infection had gotten even worse (at least to me). Could this have exacerbated the problem?
Avatar m tn About a year ago, I went out alone and wound up being drugged and raped. I don't know if protection was used and didn't go to the police. I'm a guy and I was embarrassed and ashamed. A few months afterward I started breaking out in hives all over my stomach, thighs, and buttocks. Then my penis became very dry and clusters formed on the head. I became terrified that I had an STD. About a week after the clusters appeared, they went away. Then I started bleeding from my anus.
290018 tn?1240365868 strep throat are there white or yellow spot on the back on his throat and is is eyes red a he looks pale could be a possibility
Avatar n tn Also of people get fever and feel really sick with a strep inection but sometimes all you have is a chronic sore throat. If you let a strep infection go for a long time without treatment it can make you seriously ill and could even kill you.That is rare but it does happen. Go to the doc. A simple exam and maybe a throat swab should reveal the cause of your sore throat. Good luck, hope you feel better.
