Question 1

what causes throat pain and swelling when i laugh consistently?

Accepted Answer

GetOffTheLaughingGas: What's so funny? You watching Lous C.K. re-reuns? Thinking about your last blind date? Doing Nitrous? Well, you've discovered that laughing can be a form of exercise. Your diaphragm and throat working hard to expel all those rapid, intermittent blasts of air. do it long and hard enough and you can get sore. So, time to switch to a Bergman film. May I recommend "Cries and Whispers?"

Question 2

i have had a sore throat about a month.  it does hurt a bit when i laugh.  i am able to eat and swallow and it doesn't hurt. i have had a strep test twice and nothing came of it.  i have had 2 upper respitory colds in the nose and one time it was a fever.

Accepted Answer

You : You may be dealing with seasonal allergies with post nasal drip. When you are exposed to allergens you get an increase in mucous production. This mucous can drip from your nose down into your throat. This causes throat irritation, pain, redness, and even itching. Start by taking a daily anti-histamine like Claritin or alavert. Also Benadryl can be taken, in addition Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain. If you do not notice an improvement after a week or two, see your doctor.
Take care.

Question 3

sharp throat pain?

Accepted Answer

Have a sore throat?: Typical sore throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), EB virus causing mono, or from some other cause such as allergies, irritants, or stomach acid reflux. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat).

Question 4

severe throat pain?

Accepted Answer

Throat pain: Can be from a virus, acid reflux or allergies. Try some warm water and honey and if it persists, see your doctor.

Question 5

have deep throat pain?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or mild flu (antibiotics are 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 in a day or two (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can lessen pain.

Question 6

why iam having throat pain all  the time?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: You should not be having throat pain.  Cannot diagnose this over the internet.  You need to be seen, provide a history and be examined and perhaps undergo some testing.

Question 7

could it be something bad if i have throat pain?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Throat pain may be a  symptom of muscular problems, inflammation, cancer etc.  Sometimes throat pain may be due to heart disease.

Question 8

why i had throat pain after esting?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage: You may have a nerve damage. It is very rare, but you should consider going to ENT (ear/nose /throat doctor).

Question 9

is throat pain and toothache the same?

Accepted Answer

Not really: But an infected tooth (especially a lower molar) can have an abscess that spreads to the throat area.  There are many causes for a sore throat, however, so you should go to a local dentist or physician to be evaluated.

Question 10

throat pain and night sweats?

Accepted Answer

How long?: How long have you had this? If only for a few days, it could be either strep throat, or mononucleosis. If it has been longer, you should definitely see your doctor, especially if you are a smoker. Even strep throat needs to be treated. The internet is not a replacement for a physician actually examining you to determine what you have, and what needs to be done!
