Avatar m tn The sore throat might have something to do with the lung infection, or it can be due to a infection in the throat, or could be due to smoking, or also could be due to acid reflux from the stomach. So it is hard for me to say. It is up to the doctor to look at your throat or do a culture to see if it is infected. The pain in the stomach may be due the other stomach problem they are giving you the diet for. I 'm not sure. Did you tell the doctor about the pain?
Avatar f tn Thank you! My symptoms have gotten worse due to the weather and I will be going to see a doctor I'm going to increase my fiber intake and try to get rid of this infection! I'm glad to hear that adderall is not the cause it has helped me so much I would hate to stop taking it!
Avatar f tn I dont have pain when i swallow but i do feel like i have to cough due to the fact that i have a lump in my throat. I also developed a sore on the same place were i have the lump that hasnt heal in over a walk but i didnt pay much attention to it due to the fact that i have acne but when i read throat cancer symptoms that really concerned me.
Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The swelling and discomfort could be due to a throat infection. It's unlikely to be due to throat cancer. White patches are common in many throat infections. The sore throat and tonsillitis which your son had may have contributed to it. In response to the infection the body produces soft white debris which collects in the tiny indentations in the tonsils called crypts. Repeated salt water gargles will help.
Avatar f tn Hi, How are you? Most cases of sore throat can indeed be due to a viral infection, such as part of flu or colds. With rest and plenty of fluids, this usually subsides within a week. Recurrent sore throat, on the other hand, can be due to allergic reaction, irritation, smoking or from infectious mononucleosisis. Infectious mononucleosis or kissing disease, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It presents with fever, sore throat and fatigue.Check with your doctor for proper evaluation.
Avatar n tn Hence, from your history it suggests that you are experiencing airflow obstruction due to hyper reactivity to marijuana. Allergy in the form of angioedema can be possible, which is due to hypersensitivity reaction (type 1). In such cases, subsequent exposure to it can cause complications. Hence, you need to quit the smoke completely. You need to keep always antihistaminic with you. You also need to rule out other allergens which you are sensitive to.Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn deep tongue kissing with a female known to have many partners and lady boyfriend was onto heroin (supposively just smoking it). My doctor said this wasn't a risk even if she had HIV, along with my mental health counselor and aids clinic in town. My tests: 1. Oral Swab 4 weeks post (negative) 2. EIA HIV 1/2 blood tests 8 weeks post (negative) 3. Oral Swab 83 days post (negative) 4.

Avatar f tn its because of the smoking hun your basically killing your lungs, you have to start drinking lots of water and stop smoking, use something else that can substitute it like me i was a smoker for 6 years i quit and what i used to substitute was "ICE" and it worked great. Every time i wanted to smoke i would run and get ice trust me!
Avatar n tn You might find that after you quit smoking you become allergic to cigarettes and the smoke. Good health to you! And congratulations on quitting smoking!
Avatar m tn I also had a tick bite on the same day when I met this woman and I sent the tick to be tested and it contained Lyme bacteria but I couldnt test myself to Lyme because the antibiotic cure had to be started urgently due to the described problems. But a Lyme soecialist said that with all the antibiotics Ive taken Lyme should be dead by now even if I had it and that my dysphagia is not related to that. So that’s all.
Avatar m tn Hi everyone - For probably the past year I have had a constant need to clear my throat and feel the need to cough, although nothing ever clears out. I feel as if there's something in my throat and always needing to cough and clear my throat. When I talk, it feels like there's something in my throat that I need to cough up, and I'm always doing small coughs when eating as well. I quit smoking 3 months ago thinking that would help; but I really feel the same.
Avatar m tn i feel a burning sensation in the area where the sore is in my throat with radiating pains to the ear on the same side of the throat. i have since stopped smoking and cut down on my alchohol consumption. i feel very sick that i will need your advice to help deal with the problem.
Avatar m tn Throat and ear pain may indeed be attributed to infection. However, if the symptoms persisted even after taking antibiotics, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination and diagnostic tests are highly recommended. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn The swollen tonsil and the dry throat could be due to an infection. Check to see if it is a fungal infection. Also, sometimes the dryness could be due to GERD, (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach came up into the esophagus. And smoking may aggravate this along with stress. So, continue with smoking avoidance and consult your doctor for an evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn After bouts of acid reflux that I have few now, my throat is very sensitive to exercise, or cold weather. I worked out for years but I can no longer do so due to the tenderness. I have no Insurance...
Avatar n tn Can smoking cigarettes (recently began), consuming alcohol, and frequent exposure to cold dry air cause a sore throat that includes difficulty swallowing, inflammation, swelling, pain, and dryness? Don't seem to have a fever or other illness. The symptoms lasted for about a week and a half and did not respond to antibiotics. I'm struggling to find a cause for these symptoms, thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn By that time, my throat was irritated and starting to hurt due to heavy smoking in the past few days. I kept the fluid in my mouth for at least a minute or two and tried to dilute the fluid with my saliva. After that minute or two I spit the fluid but I don't think I spit all of it. After a while I wash my mouth with water. Assuming that the lady was HIV positive, what would be the risk of such exposure if my irritated mocus membrate at the throat was in contact with the infected fluid?
Avatar m tn does this seem more like a very mild cold that could have gone away earlier but due to my smoking did not clear up sooner?
Avatar n tn The contribution of HPV to cancer of the throat remains unquantified and is at most only a small fraction of the cotribution due to smoking and heavy drinking. 2. When HPV infections occur, as I said before, they hardly ever cause symptoms. The problems you perceive are not likely to be related to HPV even if you do have the infection. 3. Cancer of the throat is almost never seen in persons under that age of 50 or 60. Worrying about symptoms before then is a waste of time.
Avatar f tn I am currently using salt water and hot water to soothe my throat, i will stop smoking cigarettes, and I will drink some tea and eat some raw garlic to try and kick any bacteria still in my system. Any idea of what this could be? Lingering sinus infection? Subtle strep throat? (I've never had strep throat).
Avatar m tn Coughing up brown phlegm is also a common symptom of excessive smoking. This is due to resin sticking to the viscous texture of the phlegm and being ejected by the body. You need to drink lot of water, steam inhalation with eucalyptus and mint, antibiotics if infection etc will help you. Treatment of sinus infection will alleviate the headache. I suggest you to consult physician without delay. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn Hi, Someone has played mischief on you, there is no evidence to prove that sore throat can be reduced by sucking the genitals. There are many causes for sore throat, like long standing sinus problems, gastric reflux, recurrent infection of the pharynx and tonsils. Get yourself evaluated from an apt ENT specialist and also try taking medicines depending upon the cause. Drink plenty of warm water, avoid smoking and eating greasy food. Any more doubts you are welcome.
Avatar m tn Your symptoms may not be related to the antibiotic therapy. Your symptoms could be due to olfactory hallucinations. Phantosmia most often occurs as a result of a head injury or upper respiratory infection. It can also be caused by temporal lobe seizures, sinusitis, brain tumors, migraine, Parkinson's disease and stroke. You may need proper evaluation by your GP, please consult him for a neurological assessment. He may then refer you to a neurologist if needed.
