throat pain not strep

I am suffering from Body pain and Strep throat . Took amoxicillin for a week and then visited Doctor he put me on azithromycin for 3 days but today is the fourth day still i feel the same.

If the bacteria responsible for the infection is streptococcal, then it would be called streptococcal tonsillitis. Strep is not the only cause of tonsillitis. Thus, strep and tonsillitis are not necessarily the same thing.

I caught a cold and/or sinus infection the end of last week. Sore throat, running and stuffy nose, Pressure pain behind the cheek bones. Cough, everything that goes with those infections. Well except no fever as doctors label things. only 98.6 , but I usually sit at 96.8 normally. Went to the VA ER on Monday about my index finger hurting and this cold. The doctor was an absolute idiot.

Seen my doctor and he put me on Amoxicillin. My strep cleared up for the most part (the white crap all over my throat). Throat is still sore and have ulcers in a few places around my mouth. Not to worried about that, what does worry me is now my gums are killing me. I cannot even tough them with a brush. No blood as of yet from them. Is this the last of the infection retreating?

I believe it is you may be leading up to a sinus infection. I have started with a sore throat a few times and had signs of strep. But I wait to get treated the pain isn't there anymore and then I find out I have a sinus infection and strep. You may should get your tonsils out if you get strep to often. My brother had to have his out. Just to be safe get to a doctor. May god bless you.

I have a mildly sore throat that is presenting itself like strep with white pus on my tonsils (minus the severe pain, fever and other symptoms). Went to the doctor today and they tested for strep, mono and the flu. All negative. I tested for HIV today and also negative (rapid test, 5 weeks since last exposure) Wondering what else it could be? Throat gono? Another virus?

m not a doctor but a sore throat with testicular pain can be caused by Strep B. A severe sore throat is one symptom of strep B. I had a vasectomy done in 1999. I ended up with a hematoma which was removed two days later during an emergency surgery. A small hole in the scrotum never closed, told not to worry. A year later I end up with a sore throat headache and a sore swolen left side of the scrotum.

I recommend you see your Dr about this. It may be your tonsils or strep throat. It's really hard to say but your Dr should be able to find out what's going on.

t have all the other symptoms except pain fever and pus and possible rash (in scarlet fever) with strep throat (not the cough, sneezing and other cold or flu like symptoms, but since your throat is so painful I thought of writing again to maybe have you check.

I have been exposed to strep throat and i'm 18 weeks pregnant What should I do and is there dander to my unborn child

A throat infection is not caused by hypothyroidism. Throat infections can be 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.

Symptoms of strep throat include throat pain, difficulty swallowing, red and swollen tonsils, swollen/tender lymph glands in the neck, fever, and fatigue. However, these set of symptoms may also be observed in a viral infection or some other kind of illness. To confirm if this is due to streptococcus bacteria, throat swab or culture and direct physical examination may be done. If this is due to a viral infection, it usually resolves after a few days.

I have gotten a sudden sore throat, started three hours ago, and severe pain in my legs especially the back sides of them into my calves starting in my buttocks. I'm wondering if there is any insight into what may be causing his all of a sudden. Neither the throat or leg pain seems to be relieved by anything.

Well, it may not be strep if he hasn't done a strep test or culture. Do you have pus in your throat or did you? Do you have a high fever/ He is probably just treating for a variety of bacteria. Yes if you haven't cleared the sore throat and ear infection (which could also be viral. You should really get cultures done if it hasn't cleared or clarify if he thinks it is viral but is treating empircally to make sure you don't get a secondary infection such as pneumonia.

The first day was told it was strep throat, they prescribed medicine. The next day tested negative for strep throat and said "it may be a viral infection" so now we still do not know what's going on. Was givin a shot of antibiotics and a prescription for medicine. Its the third day and symptoms are the same....

Hey. I'm an 18 year old male. Two weeks ago, Monday the 7th I went to the doctor with a sever sore throat and was giving Augmentin to take for 10 days (twice a day). My throat was really sore, I had a 103 degree fever, and thyroid glands were swollen. Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen didn't do much to relieve the pain. The rapid strep test said I did not have strep throat, but after looking at my throat a few times the doctor believed the test was wrong and gave me Augmentin.

i would get checked for strep throat. your doctor will tell you what you can take for it if it is strep.

I've had strep throat like symptoms, but it's not strep throat. I've had 4 different doctors do 4 different swabs, one of which when to the CDC, they all came back clean. I've been to an ear nose and throat doctor who scoped me and saw nothing. An allergist who prescribed me antiviral meds (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride 1000mg), steroids to help with swelling and other medications to previously try. Needless to say, they haven't worked.

AND IT IS ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF MY THROAT..and compared to when it all started a month ago the pain is much better but its not going away.

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.

Your persistent symptoms of sore throat, ear pain and lymph node swelling could be due to a throat 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.

question for me is WHY does the throat spray numb one side of my throat almost completely yet, cause me excrutiating pain on the other? worse yet is i have this ugly red rash on my chest and under one armpit (same side of body) and these boils or large pussfilled sacs forming on my chest as well.

What other symptoms are associated with the joint pain, sore throat and hives 5. Does the rash coincide with the joint pain. 6. Have you had the symptoms before? If so how many times and how long did they last If the symptoms have persisted for more than 5-7 days that I would consider going back to the health care provider and emphasize the points above.

I agree with Londres70, about having "strep" and not taking anything not making sense. If you had strep they would have given you something. If you didn't go to the doctor for it you would have because it is so painful you can't stand it. The rest is the same as her post and my last couple. Let us know how it goes.
