It eventually turned into a sharp pain in the bottom of my throat, and eventually into a sore throat then went away without knowing what it was. This lasted about a month and i forgot about it. Today i noticed a sharp pain while i was breathing. It hurts my whole chest but starts in the sternum. I thought it was a continuation of pain through the knots in my back (minor scoliosis) but i noticed by the end of the day that this is exactly how that strange sore throat felt like last time!
Its rare enough that it wouldn't be near the top of the possible causes of your sore throat - it wouldn't even make the top 10 list.
You need to go to the doctor and get checked. Honestly, strep throat, allergies, etc., are just so much more likely to be the cause of your sore throat, and worrying about something that MIGHT cause it but most likely hasn't is not a good thing. You need to get it checked.
It feels like something is stuck in my throat. It is not constant but it causes my throat to tighten and it is extremely hard to swallow at times. It is either on the left or right depending on the day. It causes pain by my ear and jaw line. It is also painful to drink or eat. I have also had an excessive amount of drainage, which causes me to hack up the Flem, and have to clear my throat quite frequently. I don't have a docs appt for another week but this pain is killing me.
I'm 17 weeks 5 day and have a sore throat. What can I take to help with the pain. I drank hot tea and its not cutting it. I heard I can't take liquid children's tynole to coat my throat and help with pain. Is it true? And if so how much?
i have a sore throat i have had for about 3 and a half weeks, it is not strep throat no patchs and but my md gave me a antibiotic just to be sure, that was 2 weeks ago, i have tryed taking alligery pills just incase, and a bunch of other things, i take 10 mil loracets that help the soar throat pain during the day, do u have any idea what the problem could be, or something i could take to help the pain, i have halls and a throat spray that help for about 5 minutes
Hi, I have had a sore throat on my left side for just over 2 weeks. It started as a cold, I ended up with Pink eye. I thought I was getting better but the left side of my throat is very sore. I can get through the day as long as I am sipping something hot but by bed time it hurts to swollow and to talk. Tylenol will help so I can get to sleep but it is still uncomfortable. My question is how to know if I should go see the dr. I do not take antibiotics unless it is absolutely needed.
Thanks but its weird I haven't gotten a sore throat or anything throat related since i got my tonsils removed my senior year of high school I was 17 I use to get strep 7 or more times a year it would be so bad I would have white patches and swelling to the point I couldn't breath
the other day i had a sore throat, and my neck glands were pretty sore. i used some throat spray twice, and the next day my sore throat was gone, but the excessive neck pain seems to be getting worse, not better. hiccuping, swallowing, chewing, it all makes me wince with a pain level of a 7 from 1-10. i've had mono in the past, and i feel like it's almost that all over again... but it's just the outside of my throat. internally when i swallow, my throat is fine.
The past four days it has been on and off (but both sides) It has been kinda alternating, one day hurts the next hardly any pain. But yesterday and today have been pain, and now it's one side (has it moved over? Or one side is healthy again? idk) I've tried Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen but they don't do much, and gargling salt water hardly does anything. I had a fever on the first day, but it was gone by the second day.
You have multiple negative tests, thus conclusively you do not have HIV. I do not doubt that you have a sore throat but to expect it to be due to HIV with multiple negative tests is unrealistic. Furthermore, had you had the ARS, the sore throat, accompanied by other symptoms would have come and gone by now. My advice is to stop worrying about HIV an see a health care provider to get their assistance in sorting this out. If a GP is not helpful ask to see and ear, nose and throat doctor.
I am starting to get a small cold. So far its just burning eyes, I've been sneezing, my nose is runny & my throat is so sore. The sore throat pain is the worse. Since I cant call my Dr right now, what can i take for the soreness? I read that honey, lemon & water works but that sounds nasty right now & i dont want an upset stomach on of it. I read cough drops are ok but then that they are not. Any suggestions?
What's good for sore throat? Since im pregnant I can't really take anything medicine. I took a tylenol aceteaminophen extra strength 500mg. It says adults take 2 every 6 hours . But I only took one. I'm afraid ,I might take to much since I'm pregnant. Didnt took the pain away ,the pain kept me up all night long.:( Any remedies that I can make at home??? Or any advice? ?
My doctor appointment is on the 19.
I HAVE HAD A RATHER SLIGHT BUT PERSISTANT SORENESS IN MY THROAT. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT BEHIND MY TOUNGE WHERE I IMAGINE MY TONSILS TO BE. SOMETIMES, HOWEVER, I GET A TIGHTNESS IN THE FRONT OF MY THROAT UNDER MY CHIN ON BOTH SIDES OF MY ESPHAGAS.( I CAN'T SPELL EITHER BUT YOU PROBABLY CAN'T HELP THAT) THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TWO YEARS. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO MY FAMILY PHYSICIAN AT MY YEARLY PHYSICAL AND HE DID NOT SEEMED TOO CONCERNED.
then it went away but returned few days later. i know that the risk of getting stds in the throat is rare but idk. my sore throat is pretty much gone but it hurts when i yawn it feels like somethign is about to pop and it causes a pain in my ear. when i swallow cold things i feel pain. oh and did i mention that all of this has happened on the right side of my throat only. i even had a swollen gland....is this tonsilitis?????or something more????
I m having ear pain and sore throat and also have sore mouth, my tounge, upper area of mouth and also hav pain behind the ears...been like this for a week now. I m worried as I had a pap smear wich came back with hpv and ascus and I also hav large fibroids wich I m getting treatment for. My great worry now is that is this sore throat related to hpv as hpv can also cause head and neck cancer. I will be glad if someone can help me on it.
m experiencing a scratchy sensation in my throat for last two weeks. There is no severe pain but just a scratchy sensation. It usually appear during the afternoon or in the evening and will be there till the night. It appears in the alternate days, one day after the other. I had a sore throat for the first time in the recent times on 13th of last month and it was there for 4-5 days and it cured without any treatment. Now it again started appearing from 26th of last month.
Hi, yes you can take halls, but this provides only temporary relief from the throat irritation. The sore throat could be due to an 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.
I am a 31 year old male that has had a sore throat for over 2 months. My tonsils are swollen and it appears to be white patches in the very back of the throat behind the tonsils. My doctor diagnosed me with allergic rhinitis and my ENT diagnosed me with acid reflux. I am currently taking 10mg 2x per day of Omeprazole. The ENT stated that it would take up to 3 months of taking the medication to see any change in the throat.
