Question 1

i have sore throat with congestion and have been blowing out green mucus. head also hurts an ears pain little bit. is this viral or bacterial? pls hlp

Accepted Answer

Green mucus headache: It is difficult to say, majority of patients with symptoms like yours are self limiting and caused by viruses, i will wait and if dont feel better and have fever will go to the doctor.You can use saline nose spray and some decongestant like sudafed.

Question 2

what causes fluid in ears, pain in glands/jaw that pains entire face cavity, sore throat? i don't have tonsils

Accepted Answer

A variety...: ....Of illnesses can do all that.  The only thing that's relatively certain is that the pain isn't coming from your tonsils. As with many illnesses, the best course of action is often rest, lots of fluids, and more rest.   If the symptoms persist, see your doctor.

Question 3

flushed face that came on suddenly, body aches, sore throat and headache. what would cause these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like Viral in: Upper respiratory tract infections caused by viruses are common and affect each one of us off and on. They are self limiting. All you need to do is rest for a couple of days, use tylenol (acetaminophen) for aches and for sore throat and some decongestants(over the counter stuff) and it will settle down.

Question 4

pain down right side of windpipe that gets worse as day goes on. no sore throat but feel pain if swallow when head is turned to left what could cause?

Accepted Answer

Pharyngitis: Still most likely an early sore throat with some swollen lymph nodes--that is why it is more sore when you turn to one side.  Try taking Aspirin or aleve, (naproxen) fluids, gargle with warm salt water etc...  If it gets worse and you develop fever, see a doctor.

Question 5

i had unprotected sex two days ago and woke up today with a sore throat i gave him head and think that may be the reason but what's happening to me and why is my throat the way it is today .is bleeding normal it was my first time lossing my virginity?

Accepted Answer

: Oral STDs rarely cause sore throat or other symptoms. However, oral sex itself sometimes results in throat pain afterward (for unknown reasons). Perhaps most likely is just a common cold, especially if your partner also has cold symptoms. Mild vaginal bleeding is very common after first vaginal intercourse. But see a doctor if all this continues or you otherwise remain concerned. Good luck.

Question 6

can glue ear cause head ache frequently and a sore throat on and off ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Anything is possible but unlikely.

Question 7

postnasal drip for awhile. now its causing choking during the night.this week i now have sore throat dull head pain & dizziness. all related? cause?

Accepted Answer

Sinus infection: The head pain and dizziness suggest more than a typical upper respiratory infection. The post nasal drip could be draining from the sinuses as well. You might benefit from nasal saline rinses, a nasal spray like Nasonex (mometasone) or Flonase from a physician, and possible an antibiotic course. I'd talk to your physician about all of the above.

Question 8

swollen lymph node on back of neck right side i had a sore throat for last 3 days its gone now could that of been cause of swelling and also does swollen lymph node on neck cause stiff neck and pain when moving head to look around?

Accepted Answer

: Your recent infection is the likely cause of enlarged nodes. You could watch and wait. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 9

can having a head cold with sore throat right before having a ct done cause mildly enlarged spleen 13cm?

Accepted Answer

No: This would only noticeably effect local lymph nodes if at all.

Question 10
