Question

My gums are sore also the tip of my tongue and the gums appear to be red.. There is no bleeding when i brush my teeth and no ulcers or cold sore. ?

Answer 1

Dr. can check throat: Throat pain can be from strep throat (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause. One's FIRST case of oral herpes can cause mouth sores from front to back. Later recurrences should cause cold sores on or near the lips. To lessen mouth pain, one can see her doctor and ask about mouth rinses (some contain anesthetic, Maalox, Benadryl, etc.).

Answer 2

Yes: I assume you are talking of disc surgery, which the nerve involved. We have to consider two things. How chronic the painwas? How much the nerve injury is? It may take days? Few weeks? It may have residual pain for long time?

Answer 3

Not normal but: Ideally, everyone wants relief of all their symptoms. Sometimes there may be a co-existing neuropathy or even a compression neuropathy like a tarsal tunnel syndrome that nay gave not been diagnosed pre op. Sometimes even after a successful surgery in terms of freeing up the nerves they don't always fully recover. Get an EMG done and a repeat MRI with contrast to check for possible reasons.

Answer 4

Best to discuss: With your surgeon who knows your individual case.

Answer 5

Normal: The corpus luteum is the cyst in the ovary where ovulation occurred. It is an important source of hormonal support to the early pregnancy. This is a normal, healthy finding.

Answer 6

Corpus luteum: A corpus luteum is normal and a necessary part of pregnancy until at least 8!weeks gestational age.

Answer 7

Can be a big problem: Severe headaches, accompanied by neck pain, could be a type of meningitis (serious infection around the spinal cord and/or brain), although the real flu can cause similar symptoms. Cold feet, chills, and tremors occur when fever is rising; sweating happens when fever is dropping. Light-headedness and vomiting make it all more worrisome. A trip to the doctor is needed to evaluate these symptoms.

Answer 8

Migraines: Migraines can cause feeling of lightheaded (aura) preceding a headache. You could have all the symptoms due to migraines. You could consult a neurologist or a headache specialist or a pain physician.

Answer 9

Cold sensitivity: There are several possibilities, however being more sensitive to the cold temperatures and swelling in the neck suggests the possibility of a thyroid illness causing a condition of low thyroid production called hypothyroidism with an enlargement of the thyroid called goiter. It is imperative that you obtain medical consultation and examination to determine the true cause of your problems.

Answer 10

Viral infection: Sounds like a viral infection but with the neck swelling it would be a good idea to just be seen by a doctor to make sure it isn't a bacterial infection.

Answer 11

NO: No you should see your doctor first , for full physical examination, blood tests, endoscopic examination along with radiological tests to find the cause of your symptoms. Some one at your age a malignancy is unlikely, may be ulcerative colitis, or other conditions that could be cured and get it treated with out delay.

Answer 12

See a doctor: Sounds like it is time to see a doctor to find out what may be wrong. Cannot tell in this forum what may be the problem without more history & information. May need to have some tests performed.
