Avatar m tn old was seen today for a fever and sore throat complaint. the ped. said she has a throat infection and swollen glands and prescribed meds. she did check other areas of her body for glands (at least that is what i think she was feeling for). about 7 weeks ago she had the same thing (tho the whole family passed around a fever/infection). should we be overly concerned that she has been sick like this twice in two months? what would be the tell tale signs of leukemia or lymphoma in a child?

Avatar m tn Around the same time I developed swollen glands in my neck and a mild sore throat. Sore throat went away in about 3 days and the blisters (there were about 10) disappeared a week and a half later. Now I'm 4 weeks from initial encounter and I still have large sensitive swollen glands in my neck and less swollen around my groin. I'm pretty sure my body temperature has been slightly higher than usual for the last 2 weeks also. Is this normal for having contracted herpes?
1548905 tn?1303331009 Today, I went to see the doctor, he confirmed the swollen glands. And he also found I have sore throat, I dont feel anything about it. All the swollen glands cannot be seen by appearance. I dont have fever, no diarrhea, no weight loss. I also did the normal blood test, which showed WBC, RBC and all others are good. I am still concered abou HIV infection. I am wondering the risk of being infected by HIV. Meanwhile, if I go to test on Monday, which means only 7 weeks after the exposure.
Avatar f tn It has now been a month that my neck glands and my throat glands have been swollen steady. It is not sore, the only pain I feel is when they start to grow bigger, when ever i'm chewing and swallowing it will feel like a pinch sometimes, but not always. I went to my doctor early this week, but he's not sure whether to put my on antibotics for 2 weeks or not because he thinks it could either make it better or make me feel worse.
Avatar n tn Within the last 7 days there has been somewhat of a sore throat but very weak. As of today my throat glands must be swollen because it feels very hard to swallow. Also to me it feels like my glands down in the groin area seem swollen. The only thing i think this could be is HIV. Could be other things? Is my situation a high risk situation? Will taking a test tomorrow give me results? I am going to get tested tomorrow but I am really stressed out.

Avatar f tn I have seen him once before and he said Virus can get in those glands and stay for a long peroid of time, massage and use warm face cloths on them. When they swell it is painful. My nurologist told me yesterday that I have post nasal dripping down the back of my throat. I have had sinus problems most of my life. She had me use a nasal rinse but a small amount dripped into my throat and made it worse. So I will not do that again. I believe my left ear is blocked with wax.

329165 tn?1515471990 Hello and hope you are doing well. Your symptoms could be due to a post nasal drip. This could build up during the course of the day irritating the throat. The post nasal drip could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications.

Now Nov.1st he is complaining of a sore throat and his glands are swollen again a very painful to touch with no other signs of infection.

Avatar f tn When my lower wisdom tooth and surrounding gum was sore a few years ago I had swollen glands and a sore throat on the same side. I found ibuprofen worked best as it's an anti-inflammatory. Make sure you have something to eat before you take it though(even just a biscuit or piece of fruit)because taken on an empty stomach it can damage your stomach lining.
Avatar m tn The condom did not appear to break during our brief encounter. 4 days after I developed swollen nodes under my jaw and a bad sore throat. The swollen glands have remained swollen for over 4 weeks and are even visibly enlarged. I took full std panel on day 11 and was negative for everything including hiv. I know this is too soon to test but I have been very anxious about this exposure.

Avatar m tn Have you had your throat checked for a strep infection? You could also perhaps have mono if you had a sore throat, swollen glands and high fever, fatigue etc. A lot of things will cause high ESR and swollen glands. What other symptoms do you have?
