Extreme throat discomfort. Help please?!


Question: Extreme throat discomfort!. Help please!?
On Thursday Morning I awoke to a slightly sore throat nothing serious, it only hurt slightly when I swallowed and it was only on the left side of my throat!. So I thought, oh it's just a little sore it'll go away in about a day!. Friday came along and it became more irritable to swallow but that was about it!. Saturday I had a slight pain in my throat even when I didn't swallow, and when I did swallow it hurt pretty badly!. So I decided whatever I'll just go to the doctor!. Whom upon visiting decided that I need Amoxicillin (Never really told me what I had, assumed strep throat I think even though he took a sample and put it through this 10 minute test and it came back negative)!. So I take one pill of Amoxicillin at about 10am!. I think I start feeling better and then I can swallow food with only a slight irritation!. I take my second pill of the day (two pills a day) and go to sleep!. I wake up at 4am with EXTREME discomfort in my throat!. I can NOT talk because it hurts my tongue!. My lymphnodes are swollen beyond belief and I feel like there's hair on the top of my throat, near that gag-reflex thing!? I naturally produce a lot of spit so I swallow a lot, and now I am half choking on all this spit and I have to spit it out constantly otherwise it hurts too much to swallow!. No numbing sprays or pain medications take away from these illnesses!. My general symptoms are difficulty swallowing, slight trouble breathing (just because the muscles are sore I think), general pain in my tongue, and discomfort when I move my head because of my lymphnodes!. Also when I was younger I accidentally ingested a small amount of bleach, and thne immediately puked it up and went to the hospital!. This happened when I was about 3, and I have had no throat complications since, just saying!. Currently I am 16 and would like to know what's wrong with me!. My father took me to the hospital yesterday, so obviously he doens't want to go AGAIN unless I wait a day!. So possibly if I get full proof as that my penicillin is not making me feel better and know what it possibly could be he could take me again!. Thank you so much in advance if you read all of this, give me your honest best try at responding it!. Thank you so much!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I dont mean to be gross, but are there any blisters on the back of your throat!? If there are, it's most likely strep!. I'm not a doctor or anything, but I've had raging strep before!. *Edit* Try the salt water gargle, use warm tap water and plain old table salt, a lot of it, that may ease the discomfort for a little while, at least long enough to actually get some gatorade or something down!. You need to keep hydrated!. Amoxi ususally takes about three days to kick in, (with me, anyway) * I dont think the amoxi will make it worse, if it is raging strep, the meds will help, but only if you take them like the doc instructed!. You should soak your toothbrush in scope or listerene in between brushings too until it clears up, otherwise you're just giving yourself the same bug all over again every time you brush!. I know the gargle thing may seem impossible, but give it a shot lala, it really does help!. Only tried to help!. gees!. If you cant breathe, it may be more serious than strep!. A trip to the ER wouldnt be completely out of line!. That being said!.!. Bump button activated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Gargling with saltwater is good for you!. Drinking green tea, or ginseng tea with honey works wonders!. Theraflu along with any of these is the cure that I use!.!.!.every year!. And brush your teeth!.!.!.this can kill anything else that may be left in your mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
