No, Valtrex does not: cause viral pharyngitis. Most likely, the sores you are seeing are from the infection you are treating with the Valtrex. The Valtrex takes some time to begin working &amp; the sores may have already been starting at a sub clinical level. If they are continuing, please see your doctor.

Question 2

viral pharyngitis and ulcers on tonsils reasons for tonsillectomy?

Accepted Answer

Depend how often: If you have only had one episode then that is no reason to have your tonsils out. Typically this is what i'm thinking about taking out tonsils for infection we use the following: seven infections in one year or four infections a year for two years or three infections a year for three years. Of course if you have airway blockage because your tonsils are so big or chronic  discharge that can cause opinions about tonsillectomy to change.

Mouth breathing: pay attention to whether your mouth is open on the two wheeler and during sleep(ask your partner). we are supposed to breath through the nose to warm, filter and humidify the air; otherwise the dry cold air irritates the mucosa and results in inflammation and immune responses

Question 9

is this a normal fluctuation for platelets? 9/14/21-210 x 10 ^ 3ul, 10/8/21- 213 x 10^3ul, 10/14/21- 211 x 10 ^ 3ul, 11/5/21- 196 x 10 ^ 3ul. it seems like a big drop. i had pharyngitis could this cause the drop?

Accepted Answer

: This will depend on time of day, how long you have been out of bed and lab used. I always figure a 10% variation of most labs done on the same day from the same tube as usual variation.  Thus 10% of 210 is 21 and 210-21=189 so that looks pretty good just on one day but as it was over almost 2 months would consider range of variation OK.   But check with local lab as they may have varying variation
