Question 2

what's d differences between mumps and tonsils swelling??  what is d symptoms of mumps??

Accepted Answer

Mumps: Mumps is a specific viral infection of the parotid gland which lies just forward of the ear.  Symptoms are swelling, pain and fever.   Tonsils are in the throat and are lymphatic tissues.    Symptoms of tonsillitis are fever and sore throat.   Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or strep.    Antibiotics only treat strep so both infections if viral must run their course  of a week plus.

Question 3

i have very slight swelling of one tonsil with sharp pain when i swallow. no other symptoms. i suspect it is viral pharyngitis, how long will it last?

Accepted Answer

Totally depends...: ...on your own immune reaction, the specific virus &amp; whether you get a secondary bacterial infection. If it's truly a virus, expect anywhere from a 3-10 day ride, of varying severity. An acute EBV pharyngitis can last a few days, but a chronic infection in your liver &amp; lymphocytes can brew for weeks to months. There are a gazillion viruses that can cause a sore throat, often never identified.

Question 4

son 12 years old.  left shoulder is sour and pain.  cant move his  hand also.  symptoms of flu and tonsils swelling?

Accepted Answer

??????????????????/: As written this is hard to interpret. Sour shoulder ? Flu symptoms (which ones) ? Shoulder pain with inability to move the hand would  suggest a worrisome nerve issue or broken bone. The "flu" issue cannot be addressed without more detail.

Question 5

had 100-102 fever for a day. 2 days later developed pain in throat with some minor swelling of tonsils. no other symptoms. strep or tonsillitis?

Accepted Answer

Get checked!: Tonsillitis can be due to strep or other germs.  You need to be seen.  The older you get, the more likely a fever with a sore throat is due to strep, but not always.  Get checked to be sure. If you have  "strep throat" and don't get treated, you risk serious complications, like rheumatic heart disease.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

See below: Unilateral involvement suggests mostly likely infection or worse case scenaro malignancy.  Please see your primary for an evaluation.

Question 7

i have had 1 swollen tonsil and swollen lymph node on my jaw for a few days now. today i woke up to a swollen gum on the same side. the swelling is around my wisdom tooth and also my top front teeth. could these symptoms be related? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Infection: You likely have an infection spreading from your gum. The presence of chills points to a systemic infection which requires immediate medical attention and prompt dental care.

Question 8

do symptoms like mouth swelling go away quickly?

Accepted Answer

Depends on: Cause and condition of pt.

Question 9

i am experiencing  mouth lump in my inner cheek inside my mouth..can feel it with finger..it is not visible..no pain or swelling or other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist.: All new mouth lumps should be examined. Many of them turn out not to be anything important, but you can't take your chances with those. Don't ignore it. Good luck.

Question 10

can you diagnose this? my symptoms include: fatigue, slight stomach pains, headache, and swelling on the palate of my mouth

Accepted Answer

These : These are very non-specific symptoms that may or may not be related. I would need a lot more information before i begin to attempt to make a diagnosis. My best advice to you is to visit your primary care provider for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Best of luck.
