3054444 tn?1353976571 So I went to the doctor today to see if I have a sinus infection. I get them every year around this time and thought I had it. Turns out I have strep throat instead. I'm 38+3 and I hope my son waits until the antibiotics are in my system long enough so he doesn't catch it. Has anyone else gotten strep throat while pregnant?

Avatar n tn I am now on antibiotics for strep throat and it seems to not be work, which I had a throat culture with positive for strep. My oral infection is getting worse. I was tested for HIV at 6 1/2 weeks after risky sex, and it was negative. Why is my oral infection, which I believe to be thrush not responding to treatment and strep not responding to antibiotics? How reliable is my negative test result on HIV test? I am still not feeling well at times.
Avatar f tn Thanks would strep throat be a sign? I went and got a throat culture test sunday afternoon but the hospital called me wednesday to tell me I need antibiotics. The nurse that tested both me and the girl said I didn't need to retest.

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.
9309926 tn?1405447056 t seen it after a strep throat. Sore throats can often be caused aby viruses and not strep. With a strep throat you usually get a high fever. Sometimes you can also get swollen lymph nodes under the neck. You don't always get pus (white spots on the tonsils or back of the throat) but you usually do. Strep throat can become serious so they do have to watch you. Sometimes it does go away on its own. I would definitely get the swab done.
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 I went to see my midwife this morning and was sent over to the hospital. I was dehydrated and they started me on some serious medication. I am feeling a little better now.
Avatar f tn Anyone had strep throat while preg. I think I might have it and I'm going to call the Dr. I'll have to call my OB as I don't have a primary. I was wondering if anyone had been in the same boat though and what the Dr. did or perscribed.
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 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
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 Hello all, first off I am so thankful I found this site because there is little to no information on GBS. About a year ago I started to notice my vagina getting extremely dry, it would crack then peel. The cracks were similar to tiny paper cuts all over my clitouris. There was no smell or discharge so I went awhile thinking it was just dry skin. Well after about six months of dealing with the severe dry skin I went to my gyno.

Avatar f tn Every illness with both sore throat and fever should be professionally evaluated. The concern is not STDs, but strep throat, mononucleosis, etc. But if no real fever, you can safely just sit tight and wait for it to clear up on its own -- but still see a doctor if sore throat lasts more than another week or so.
Avatar n tn Hello everyone I have a sore throat and stuffy nose and im 6w3d. Normal or see the doc?
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?
