Answer 1

Oral lesion & mucus: It's not likely that you have an oral cancer at the age of 18. However, it is always wise to have new oral lesions checked out by a dentist or oral surgeon. The tongue mucus could be from lots of places....The sinuses? The throat? The chest? Or is it a substance from your mouth (just saliva)? You should be seen by your primary care provider and your dentist. But oral cancer is very UNLIKELY.

Answer 2

Go see: Any visualized change in your mouth should be evaluated. Please see your Dentist or an Oral Surgeon for evaluation. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be told there's nothing to worry about? And on the slight chance that there is a problem it,s better to have it resolved as quickly as possible.

Answer 3

Watery eyes: Sounds like you have a viral illness. Take an over-the-counter decongestant and see if this helps. A saline nasal spray is also helpful. Drink plenty of fluids and get some rest. If you are still having problems after 7 days, call your primary doctor.

Answer 4

Reducing symptoms : Is possible by taking an antihistamine/decongestant, as well as a mucolytic like mucinex, (guaifenesin) and drinking lots of water.

Answer 5

See your doctor: These extra symptoms are just more severe migraines. Migraines are the body's warning system. Something is stressing you that is making your migraines more complex. You may have infection, allergic reaction, toxic reaction to food or drug, or some emotional crisis. You need a good medical checkup.

Answer 6

Vague: Your symptoms are a concern, especially if the symptoms have persisted for awhile. I would see a doctor asap.

Answer 7

Get tested: If you have high risk sexual behavior or use IV illicit drugs, get tested. Don't wait for symptoms because you might not have them until really late. Only one lymph node is not very dangerous but i would have a consultation with the physician to be on the safe side.

Answer 8

You have alot: Going on so instead of speculating what you may or may not have a complete history. Physical and bloodwork is in order with an internist.

Answer 9

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react. They shrink when all is well.

Answer 10

Numb the mouth: Anything that will decrease the pain in the mouth will help her drink. Ice cold foods act as a local anesthesia as they numb the area. Try popsicles, ice cream, jello, as well as pedialyte popsicles that will keep her hydrated. Also oragel will help. As it is a viral disease, there is no antibiotics that will help it. It will go away on its own.

Answer 11

None: Although it is uncomfortable hand, foot and mouth disease is typical benign and fairly brief in duration.

Answer 12

Rheumatoid: She should be seen by a rheumatologist and placed on the appropriate medications pain medication and anti-inflammatory medication. Physical therapy may or may not be part of the treatment as well.

Answer 13

Need Rheumatologist: A good rheumatologist can do a thorough history and exam recommend the proper treatment (e.g. Meds, injections, surgery...).
