Question

I have little red bumps on the tip of my tongue, sore throat and lost my voice. My gums are also very sensitive and bleed when i brush them.

Answer 1

Couple of possibles: If the gum tissue between the teeth is flattening out or eroding instead of pointed, then this sounds like ANUG. Usually presents with aches and sluggishness and often a fever. Commonly with very stressful times and poor nutrition and sleep. Might also be primary herpetic gingivostomatitis. See your Dentist ASAP for Dx and TX. Or, go to Minute Clinic, etc. Meantime- high fluids, ibuprofen, sleep.

Answer 2

Need evaluation: See your Dentist to rule out oral diseases. Then next step is to see your Physician. You may have one of a number of infections or a systemic disease. Please call for appointment.

Answer 3

No meds: Medications have not been proven successful at this age and pediatricians do not recommend any over the counter cough and cold medicines for kids under 6 years. For babies of this age a nasal aspirator can help remove the thick mucus in their noses- the blue bulb syringe can do the same. Humidification may also help. Most importantly keep them hydrated- increase the frequency of breastfeeding.

Answer 4

Stuffy nose: Stuffy nose in 6 weeks old babies should never be treated with medications. Use saline nasal drops and suction the nose with bulb syring helps. Running a humifier helps too.

Answer 5

Irritants: The first months are troubled by narrow nasal passages & exposure to dust, fragrences, smoke & other irritants.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing. The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.

Answer 6

Okay: Lemon and honey, cayenne pepper laced broths, peppermint extract in warm liquids, a little burbon with honey, perhaps cold liquids, ice creams, sorbets etc, hot lemonade (with a bit of bourbon), and I am sure there are a few herbals that can be used.

Answer 7

Top 10: My top 10 1) gargling with strong tea 2) eating citrus fruits 3) curl up with a book 4) take a nap 5) put Vicks on you neck or 6) chest 7) eating foods with a lot of garlic 8) chicken soup. 9) watch a funny movie 10) hot bath or shower.

Answer 8

My favorite: My favorite is a classic "hot toddy." specifically I use a camomile tea with honey, lemon juice and either rum or whiskey (about half-a-shot). The choice of spirits is up to you. The point is to drink a warm liquid that will relax you and open up your airways. (adult only for alcohol, however, lemon, honey, and tea can be used alone for those abstaining or kids.).

Answer 9

?: I don't know without examine you but i doubt all those symptoms are due to just postnasal drip. Ge another opinion please.

Answer 10

Not post nasal drip: I'm not sure what you have but it is not post nasal drip. I strongly recommend you get another opinion from another doctor right away. Post nasal drip is a description of a symptom not a cause of symptoms. An ENT doctor can evaluate your throat most comprehensively.

Answer 11

Yes: When confronted with a women who could be pregnant we almost always suspect it.

Answer 12

Pelvic pain: You should see a doctor. You may be pregnant, not necessarily a normal pregnancy, but you matty have others different condition such as infection or cyst. Bottom line you need an evaluation.

Answer 13

Wrong dose: The way you are taking the zithromax is not the dosing for chlamydia - for that you need to take 4 250mg tablets at once. That's it. Call your doctor and check out why they prescribed it the way you are taking it.

Answer 14

Schedule appointment: You may have a concurrent urinary tract infection not being treated by your current antibiotic. This needs to be checked and not just assume the back pain is pid related.
