Bulimia causes : chronic or recurrent sore throat because of erosion of mucous membranes by recurrent exposure to stomach acid. Abdominal pain &amp; bloating are also common.

Question 7

currently i have a sore throat because of tonsillitis. i went to the dr on monday and she also referred i should go for covid-19 test. i have done so on tuesday and awaiting results. i want to remove my tonsillitis ?

Accepted Answer

Got cash ?: The risk of complications is increased when tonsils are removed during tonsillitis. I also know of no 3rd party insurance that would cover the procedure because  you want it. You must have had a specific number of infections/problems with it before they will. If you have plenty of cash  to pay up front you may find a doc who will do it at some point. If your history qualifies you insurance may pay

Question 8

for 3 weeks i've a sore throat when swallowing (feels like tonsillitis) i have  painful bumps on my throat? my kids n partner have it. wot is it?

Accepted Answer

Virus?: Tonsillitis is inflammation/infection of tonsils. We also refer to it as pharyngitis. Most often, it's caused by a virus, which will not respond to antibiotics. In other words, it'll take same amount of time to get over it regardless of whether you take antibiotics or not. Only strep will respond to antibiotics check out centor criteria (http://goo.Gl/msoflx) to determine if need antibiotics . .

Question 9

from my childhood i used to have periodic tonsillitis now it happens less last i had sore throat was 1and half year ago, could i have rheumatic fever.

Accepted Answer

No data to assess: People typically have more throat infections in early childhood than they do later. You ask about a specific complication of untreated strep disease, but have offered no reason why we would ever consider the diagnosis. You need to start over and offer why you are thinking of it, because what you have stated so far has no relevance to the diagnosis.

Question 10
