Does anybody know what this is? or even how to treat the pain?!


Question: I have had this sore throat since monday, and it keeps getting worse,

swallowing hurts, eating anything hurts, eating ice cream hurts, apple juice milk water you name it hurts. the best thing i've come across, jello, even hurts, but just a little bit less.

at its rarest moments breathing hurts,

other than that opening my mouth hurts, making vocal cord noise hurts, moving my tounge (sp) sometimes hurts, coughing hurts, even a little wimpy girl cough

im dying and im going to the doctor tomorrow

but if you know what this is, it might help, or if you know what i could do to make some of the pain go away with out killing myself or taking 3 pills of pain meds (because it doest work) let me know

sorry you had to read all this.

A really bad sore throat or strep throat. The doctor will look at it and be able to tell the difference with a test if not by sight. Warm, clear liquids sometimes help. Dissolving an aspirin in warm water or tea and drinking it slowly will do much more than just taking the meds because aspirin will be absorbed directly into the tissues in the throat (it will taste terrible though).

Feel better.

Sounds like severe strep. The doc will help.

take a flashlight and look in the back of ur throat at ur tonsils, see if they have white patches (looks like white fuzz). if they do, u most likely have strep throat. very painful. hope u feel better

You have made the right decision to go and see the doctor.

The kinds of pain you are having needs urgent attention. Wish all the best.

Until you see the doctor try chewing on ice chips, or just suck on them if you can. You might also want to try gargling with salt water.

use chloreseptic spray, gargle with warm salt water and maybe some nyquil if you have it to help you sleep. My son has the exact same thing but we went to the dr today and nothing. I am a nurse practioner and I knew it but he had to be checked.
