throat

Avatar f tn Hi all, back at the beginning of April this year I had a sore throat, I looked and saw I had a few ulcers/blisters in the back of my throat, I have never had these before, and they weren't there previous to that, I had just come off Omeprazole which I had been taking for acid reflux, and had been on them for 9 weeks.I had also just come off Yasmin contraceptive pill that i had been taking for around 8 years.
Avatar n tn However, none of them prescribe the biopsy, ostensibly because it involves taking out the tissue sample from her higly inflamed mouth, and because it is unlikely to be cancer (we are very eager to do). Now, the ulcers have spread to the throat from the tongue. They had some 'smear' test done yesterday to check for TB, which has apparently turned out negative. The blood tests indicate that the counts are quite normal.
Avatar f tn Did your doc even bother to do a strep test or anything? Strep throat can also cause ulcers in the throat and mouth and strep is definitely something that neeeds to be treated with antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Hi , My husband had the same exact problem,he needed to drink fluids all the time whenever he put food in his mouth to push it down this went on for a long time finally he went for his regular blood work and i mentioned to the doctor well he had to go for the test where they put a camera down your throat to see inside your stomache i cant remember the name anyway they found little ulcers that were inflamed so they put him on prevacid he takes 1 a day in the morning every day, its been 3yrs and
Avatar n tn i have sore red ulcers in the back of my throat. I have had these for at least 2 years now. I went to the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics...they did not work at all! Recently i went to a GUM clinic to ask about causes etc. The nurse was very unhelpful and asked why i though it was an STD. He then mentioned an HIV test which freaked me out. He told me to go to my GP. I am sooooo worried now. Until recently i also had a type of white head on the side of my toungue at the back.
Avatar f tn m still having GERD symptoms - burning abdomen, stomach tender to the touch when poked, acid reflux, lump in throat, burning up back of throat, excessive belching and gas..I've also had diarrhea since the symptoms started almost a year ago. I'm worrying that it's gastric cancer. Three months ago I had two ct scans of the abdomen. One with just iodine contrast and another with both iodine contrast and barium swallow. Both came back fine. Would gastric cancer show up on the ct scans?

Avatar f tn Hi, sorry, one other symptom actually is that my tongue feels very tingly towards the back and almost like it has little cuts on it, very irritable and swollen almost. Does this come with herpes?
Avatar m tn throat where I get small ulcers in the back from post nasal drip. Your 13 week test is conclusive. Your throat ulcers have nothing to do with HIV.
1125093 tn?1260365148 Thank you for your post back. The Dr, or 5 now have all said they are sure I have a throat viral infection. It started with a bit of a cold, then I had a large ulcer on one of my tonsils. I have been and still am major stressed to be fair, but the ulcers developed into about 3, then wouldn't go away. Anti biotics didn't clear it up, but being viral, they wouldn't. I became extermely anxious as my father died of throat cancer, but my symptons don't seem to be this bad.
Avatar n tn On November 16, due to the efforts to cough I bleed a little bit. I noted dry throat and oral ulcers. And thrush (candida). I had my duo test for hiv and sifilis after 29 days from my first exposure being negative. The synthomps remain. I read that oral ulcers and thrush is connected with HIV. Could be other StD? I am in panic.
Avatar m tn September 2010 I had a very strong infection in my throat together with very high fever and swollen tonsils for about a month. After having taken antibiotics everything was normal again and since then I have been in excellent health. Last week, around wednesday, I started feeling a little bit sick and some tingling in my throat. I had rest for a couple of days and everything was seeming okay until I began feeling pressure in my left ear, but no fever, no swollen tonsils, nothing.
Avatar n tn Hi I have just found out from my GP that I have a a lot of stomatitis (mouth ulcers). These they go down to the throat. Could these have been caused by Stress and anxiety.
Avatar n tn On Feb 1 I developed a severe red scratchy throat, and I still had several mouth ulcers. I took Augmentin 500 3x/day for 10days. After the 10days I still had a sore throat that feels like an ulcer down my throat, and I also still had about 10 mouth ulcers as well as swollen gums. I went to my Internal MD and he put me on Medrol dose pack and Levaquin. This initially helped w/ the mouth ulcers but the one down my throat got much worse. I was given a Celestone inj and put on Orapred.
Avatar f tn I also experience a grinding sensation in the right side of my throat when swallowing. I have no lumps that I can feel. Does this seem like cancer? Someone with experience please help.

Avatar m tn The HIV patient has sore throat and throat ulcers. Immediately without sterilizing the equipment, the doctor used the same spoon like equipment to check my throat. I am worried, whether I will get HIV infection. Please help. The spoon like equipment might have contacted the sore throat and throat ulcers of the HIV patient and it could have contacted me too. Please help with your suggestions.
Avatar m tn I went to an ENT in September concerned I might have some type of throat cancer. Especially since Michael Douglas came out saying he had it and was hoarse. The ENT said I was not at high risk because I don't smoke or drink but since I was so concerned he looked at my throat and voice box with a scope. He said every thing looked normal except for a little swelling in the back of my throat. I've started taking my medicine for reflux again but don't really see much improvement.
Avatar f tn I recently had a colonoscopy and the camera down my throat tests done (I'm sorry I can't remember the name of that test) It came back that the esophogus was burned and so is the stomach lining. No ulcers and no cancer. I wasn't given a diagnosis so I don't know what I have other than that. I was put on protonix and had severe side effects from it including loosing 20 lbs in 3 weeks from the vomiting caused by the medication. My Dr. took me off of it and put me on zantac.
Avatar m tn I discovered 3 maybe 4 vaginal ulcers. I first thought that I had been just dry when I had intercourse with my boyfriend and we may have been a little rough and it was a tear and would go away. Now over a month in a half later I still have them. They are most painful during sex and when urinating. I know for a fact that this is not herpes.... They are not getting any better and I keep reading that other women have experienced this same issue and no one seeems to know what they are.
769119 tn?1235025955 I visited doctors many times and recived my types of medications, but nothing could cure my mouth ulcer, it begains with one small white urlcer with lots of pain in all of my mouth and in few days it reaches to 4 or 5 in all ereas of my mouth even sometimes this goes deep to my throat and some times when this get very sever this associated with fever.
Avatar f tn We have the same sores and the same occurrence of them, but I am also getting the throat ulcers and he is not. In addition, I have noticed that I have had tonsilloliths for sometime, and I'm thinking that my tonsils are harboring some kind of bacteria or something. I've also wondered if it's possible that participating in oral activities could have made them occur more frequently on the throat.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am 24 year old and I am experiencing pain on my throat for 2 weeks now. I’m afraid that if this is cancerous or not (hope it is not). I am a Technical Support Engineer and we are talking on the phone at least 7 hours a day, my shift is 8pm-5 am and I am lacking sleep. 2 weeks ago, I was having hard time talking and there is hoarseness on my voice. I can talk but I can feel the pain in the lower part of my neck. I can’t feel any lump on my neck, but I am having hard time swallowing.
