Accepted Answer

Seasonal flu: is very common viral infection. Usually the condition resolves on its own with home care. Drink water and get a good rest. NSAIDs (e.g. Aleve, Advil) or Tylenol (acetaminophen) are also recommended every 6 hours. If concerned, see your PCP for examination.

Question 6

i have a horrible sore throat. my tonsils are swollen and there is a white spot in the back of my throat. i also have ear pain on one side. my tongue has bumps in the back and looks grayish. could this be strep? my neck is also sore.

Accepted Answer

Strep throat : If you're not feeling better after three to four days then get tested for strep. Very hard to know by just looking

Question 7

very vert sore throat, looks like small blisters on top of mouth and on the sides of throat. glands swollen and nect mussles also swollen.

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). A person with many small oral ulcers more likely has a virus than strep.

Question 8

swollen and severly sore cheek, sore throat, white patches in mouth on side of cheek. negative strep culture at er, pain meds not working.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: This could be many things. You need to be specific about when it started and what treatment has been given. This could be thrush, aphthous ulcers, lichen planus, leukoplakia, and other things. Oral diagnosis can be difficult, so seeing the oral cavity problem is very important. If you give more information,  we can help better. Go to  an otolaryngologist for exam, treatment, and possible biopsy.

Question 9

sore throat, one side only. blotchyness on roof of mouth, back towards the throat. hard to swallow, very tender, feels like throat swollen inside. ?

Accepted Answer

Sore throat: Your condition requires that you see a doctor to determine if you have an infection that needs treatment.
