Common Questions and Answers about Swollen uvula strep throat

swollen

Avatar m tn About 9-10 months ago, I was diagnosed with Strep throat. The doctor that diagnosed me was very concerned about the size of my tonsils, he told me that my uvula was deviated and he was worried about them but since he was from a low cost clinic he knew I couldnt afford to go the ER. So, treated me with strep and the swelling went way down. Every since then, I go through days where I still have trouble with the swelling coming back.
Avatar n tn Days 2-10 swollen tonsils with white patches (extremely painful). Now my uvula is swollen and sitting on my tounge. Ok so heres what I have been using to combat this. Gargle with salt water, Drink warm water with honey and lemon, Tylenol for pain (actually works for once), had some fluticasone propionate for nasal congestion (stopped working so switched to afrin) and zinc cough drops. Ok heres my question, at what time should I be worried and go see a doctor.
Avatar f tn Last week on monday I felt light headed and dizzy ended up with a fever for 2 days. That thursday I felt I had strep, with the fever and sore throat seeming so familiar; I went to my Dr. To check it out. No strep, but the next day my uvula swelled up so bad I felt I couldn't breathe. Spent the whole day gargling salt, eating garlic clothes, spoons of honey and tumeric. Didn't sleep till 6 am Saturday when I couldn't stand being up anymore.
Avatar m tn I had a rapid test swab done for strep throat, and standard swabs done for strep throat, chlamydia and gonorrhea, all of which came back negative. I am really paranoid about getting any STDs and so I've just done testing for syphilis, chlamydia, herpes type 1, herpes type 2, HIV and gonorrhea. What are my chances of my symptoms being related to an STD? What could be causing the white spot on my uvula and the symptoms? Has enough time gone by to test for these STDs?
Avatar m tn 3 days ago in the afternoon I noticed a slight sore throat on the right side. I didn't think much of it and took a nap. When I woke up, it was a bit worse. The next day, it was even a little worse. It has stayed about the same since then. It is only on the right side, it only hurts when I swallow and it often feels like there is something caught in my throat. I looked in the mirror and I see what looks almost like a "skin tag" on the right side of my upper throat, next to my uvula.
Avatar n tn Z-pack for Strep Throat? Hmmmm. I think he/she should have probably went in the direction of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, i.e. Amoxicillin vs. Zithromax. I have seen Zithromax ordered for Strep Throat, but not that often.
Avatar f tn The roof of my mouth is white, and the uvula is swollen and almost touching the back of my tongue. I feel like I should keep swallowing. Never happened before. No new foods, meds, etc.
Avatar n tn i told him to go to the doctor. he went the next day and said the doc said it was strep throat or tonsillitis. i spoke to the doc myself and he didnt even give my friend any type of test. i think it is a viral infection or some sought of std he doesnt want to listen to me because of what the doc told him. i really am araid for him because he has multiple sex partners. what can this be?
Avatar f tn I have bumps in my throat behind my uvula, my uvula seems a little red as does the palate around it. Both sides of my throat by the uvula are swollen and I don't know if my tonsils are swollen or not but it looks as if so. There is a bit of white patches on both sides of throat by uvula. Also my tongue is always dry! I don't know exactly what's wrong. Anyone have any idea?
Avatar f tn So I went to the er for irritated throath that don't go away, antibiotics didmt.Work do they did a catscan on my neck and they showed " numerous small level 2 and level 3 lymph nodes, with several more prominent note it is noted as well, reaching a diameter of 13 mm. None of the rightare are greater than 1cm." I also been having weird headaches sometimes and sometimes mild sweats and night and weird vision. They also found a mild chronic left maxillary sinusitis.
Avatar f tn Finally, smoking could be a factor and will only irritate an already sore throat. I would recommend that you go see your doctor. He/She can do a throat culture and see what is going on,. Also, you may need an antibiotic. In the meantime, gargling with warm salt water every hour or so, can help make your throat feel better. Also, if you can, try to refrain from smoking. Good luck.
Avatar m tn Spitting up blood can occur in throat infections. 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. If you develop a fever, or if there is enlargement of the tonsils with pain or if there is white coating on the tonsils, you will need to consult your primary care physician for a strep test, which if positive you will be given antibiotics.
Avatar f tn t feeling good. So, strep throat is exactly what it says , strep bacteria in the throat. It has symptoms like intense pain, fever, headache and stomachache. There are other things that happen to the throat like a virus that can cause the symptoms you have or tonsillitis which is bacterial but not strep.
Avatar f tn A few days later still have the sore throat and a little discomfort when swallowing, it also feels like I have something stuck in my throat almost. When I looked in the mirror today I noticed white spots on my uvula which explains the feeling of something being in my throat and also one back by my tonsil. I don't think it's strep because when I get strep I have different symptoms. What could it be?
Avatar n tn So, I initially thought that swollen uvula was due to dehydration and tried to drink and spray it with some antiseptic sprays for around 2 days to no success. I had no appetite and I assume I was running a low grade fever, but it is hard to tell since I have never measured temperature and it was too hot in Thailand to understand if my body temperature was above norm. So eventually, I went to the doctor who gave me pills named Starclav 500 (which i found out was Amoxicillin and clavunic acid).
Avatar m tn I also tested negative for strep throat. I have been spitting up white foam (extra saliva I think) and mucus every morning. The extent of this is lessening, but the pain got worse before it got better. Now, everything in my mouth on my infected side is swollen but not necessarily painful. My gums, tonsil, and arch behind the uvula on my left side are bigger than they should be. I also have a white circle discoloration on the roof of my mouth, but it's not a bump and it doesn't hurt.
Avatar m tn I see a white colour patch in throat behind the back of my uvula( Photo attached) and am scared . I had shown to a ENT specialist and he gave some antibiotics and told me not to worry about it. I have attached the photo . Does the back of throat looks normal ? www.imgur.com/eeml3YE I have stretching my throat a lot to see it. Can this irritation and discomfort be the cause ? Is there any thing serious you note or it looks normal?
Avatar n tn Hi Miniplus, I am a 27 year old female from Ireland, I recently had a uvulaectomy due to two cysts that were found on my uvula. The uvula was getting swollen at night time and I would wake up in the morning unable to breath and would gag. My GP referred me to an ENT Specialist and they decided to remove my uvula altogether.
Avatar n tn I have had a sore throat for about 2 weeks, just the last 7 days little pimple on my tounge have appeared (lie bumps) and my uvula looks like it has burst blood vessles and is swollen.
