Answer 1

NOT STD: This is not in any way a symptom or history of any known STD. It is not HIV. It is not Herpes. It is not Syphilis. It is not Hepatitis A, B, or C. It is not Chlamydia. It is not Gonorrhea.

Answer 2

Could be either: The symptoms you describe could indicate either a bacterial or viral infection; although statistically, viral infections are more common. An examination will be important. The fact that you had a flu shot is great but flu shots only protect against the 2-4 worst strains of influenza flu for that season; it doesn't protect against the thousands of other strains of flu. Best to see your doctor.

Answer 3

Either: How long have you had the symptoms? Do you have any respiratory symptoms? What you are describing are non-specific symptoms that could be either related to viruses or bacteria.

Answer 4

Sore Throat: It is difficult to figure out if a sore throat caused by a bacteria or virus, even on examination. We do a rapid strep test from a throat swab which allows to confirm if it is bacterial which is usually streptococcus (strep throat). Viral upper resp infections account for majority. If you do not have high fever, take otc meds, salt water gargles and see if is subside in 2-3 days.

Answer 5

Most likely viral: It is most likely viral , flu shot protects you from flu, but there are plenty of other viruses as well, management supportive, with adequate hydration, tylenol, (acetaminophen) some sources also recommend extra vit c ( not proven ). Be more careful if you have any serious immunocompromising conditions.

Answer 6

More likely Viral: You most likely have a viral syndrome. I would first try conservative medical management. Lost of fluids to include water and juice. You may take tylenol (acetaminophen) or Acetaminophen up to a maximum of 3000 mg a day. This with the assumption that you don't have any liver disease. If your symptoms don't resolve within a week, follow up with your md to be evaluated. Good luck.

Answer 7

Labs: I'm not seeing lab results, sounds like much of this can be explained by thyroid disorder, but need labwork to evaluate for this, auto-immunue, and other issues, be sure to follow up with your doctor closely until issues are explained and resolved.

Answer 8

Complicated: Your symptoms suggest a viral cause. The fatigue, gland swelling and rapid thyroid enlargement indicate a systemic (total body process). By the fact you have had a ct scan i assume you have seen a doctor. Hopefully bloodwork was done and the information will be helpful. Your most important issue right now is your airway, if you are having trouble breathing you need to go to the hospital er asap.

Answer 9

Call your doc: Could be viral, bacterial, other. History of travel, unsavory food intake, bleeding, sick contacts, other meds or medical conditions, antibiotic use in the last 2-3 months. Large volume or small volume diarrhea? Could even be inflammatory stuff like diverticulitis, appendicitis, etc. Risk dehydration, even with oral rehydration fluid like pedialyte (otc) call your doc.

Answer 10

Many possibilities: If a yeast infection is causing the burning, Monistat cures many but not all yeast infections, another med may be needed. Urine culture can identify bladder infection. Spasm of muscles in the pelvis especially the tiny muscles around the urethra can cause burning. Skin infection other than yeast, including herpes can have subtle signs but cause significant burning.

Answer 11

Could be anything: Do a blood preg test, if neg then one of the other 2 , if your period does not start and you are not preg then other testing can be done.

Answer 12

OvertheCounter tests: Ovulation predictor kits and pregnancy confirmation kits are quite accurate. Try one test, then the other.
