For about a week, I've had Strep throat but hadnt been to the doctor. Eventually, the pain got to me and he prescribed me some antibiotics (Amoxicillin Trihydrate). I took my one pill that afternoon, and one after dinner. I took a third one this morning around 6 AM and went back to sleep.
I woke up feeling something in the back of my throat i just couldn't swallow. Turns out its my uvula.
Since i don't know my regular tongue size (never knew i would need to), im not sure if its my throat slightly swelling again, my tongue swelling (i think that might be it), or my uvula swollen (can that even happen?)
Any sollutions?
Strep throat
The symptoms of Strep Throat are itchy throat, fever, headaches, red or swollen throat, and irritation when swallowing. Alert doctor when symptoms persist more than 5 days. *Strep Throat is Contagious*
Strep Throat has a number of potential symptoms. Some of these symptoms include a sore throat, difficulty when swallowing, swollen or red tonsils and a fever.
Tonsillectomy does not give you any protection against strep throat.
Symptoms of strep throat can include a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and chills. There are many home remedies for a sore throat, but if you suspect you may have strep throat, you should consult with your doctor. Typically, you will need to be prescribed an antibiotic to dispose of this bacteria.
The doctor recommended removing my tonsils to prevent recurring throat infections.
No. That is not possible.
If you mean that your tonsils are swollen then you probably have strep! If you want more informtion go to your doctor and ask of he/she can check your throat for ulcers.Ulcers are the effests of many viruses usually herpes or strep. It is usually uncommon to have strep though. I know this first hand.
someone can give it to you or you could have a soar throat
Enlarged, swollen, red tonsils that have white spots on them, no appetite, stiff neck and shoulders, aching nose and throat, when I get strep I sometimes can't sleep and even hallucinate.
Yes. Tuberculosis does not give you immunity against the strep throat.
