Anyone ever experienced a blister like pain in your throat or on your tonsil? Anyone have info on this before I go see a doctor?
Every swallow I give is excruciating. (At least I’m losing weight!)
July 6, 2011 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #783757nygalMembernope you sld probebly see a doc but there is a good side(the weight loss)!

July 6, 2011 10:48 pm at 10:48 pm #783759basket of radishesParticipantI dont know that there is a lot that can cause blistering of the tonsils, but there are things of an infectious nature that can apply. Herpes is a possiblity but I would think rare. There are things such as auti immune symptoms and rheumatic symptoms that could get this type of presentation so see your doctor and consider asking if its a long term medical illness if you have had it for a while.
July 6, 2011 11:37 pm at 11:37 pm #783760sms007MemberMy son had it. It’s viral so no medinicines for it and it takes abt a Week to go away. Refuah shelema!!! (Not that I’m diagnosing you….just sharing our experience)
July 7, 2011 1:56 am at 1:56 am #783761deiyezoogerMemberkeep us posted we want to know what it was and what you did so it should go away, thanks.
July 7, 2011 2:01 am at 2:01 am #783762ImaofthreeParticipanthope it’s not strep, refuah shelaymah!
July 7, 2011 2:03 am at 2:03 am #783763Derech HaMelechMemberAre you sure its not strep or tonsilitis?
July 7, 2011 2:07 am at 2:07 am #783764always hereParticipantI was thinkin’ strep, too. refua sheleima b’karov!
July 7, 2011 3:28 am at 3:28 am #783765smartcookieMemberThank you all for your suggestions and well wishes! I don’t think I have strep because when I do have strep I can hardy move, and now I’m feeling fine B”H. I do have a low fever though.
It’s not my throat that hurts, it’s only that one spot in my throat where I have a big blister(I see it in the mirror!).
My dr isn’t in tomorrow so I guess I’ll have to wait it out until friday. But I hope I’ll feel better by then.

July 7, 2011 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm #783767adorableParticipantrefuah sheleima hope you feel better soon.
July 7, 2011 5:02 pm at 5:02 pm #783768HealthParticipantSC -Try gargling with something.
July 7, 2011 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm #783769Derech HaMelechMemberTry gargling with something.
Something like salt.
Not something like the water from after giving your kids a bath.
July 7, 2011 5:27 pm at 5:27 pm #783770minyan galMemberIt doesn’t sound at all normal and I would suggest that you find a walkin clinic. If you need antibiotics (or something else), the sooner you begin treatment, the better. If it is strep it is very important that you have a throat swab to find out which type of strep it is because untreated Group A strep can lead to health problems.
July 7, 2011 5:56 pm at 5:56 pm #783771YW Moderator-80MemberSomething like salt
definitely do not do this
but gargling with saltwater is a good idea.
July 7, 2011 6:29 pm at 6:29 pm #783772Derech HaMelechMemberWhat’s wrong with just salt? It will definitely burn the germs out, that’s for sure.
July 7, 2011 6:34 pm at 6:34 pm #783773YW Moderator-80Membertrue
similar reason why, when i have a cold in the winter i sit outside for a long time with no coat hat or gloves.
i figure the germs cant survive in freezing temperatures.
July 7, 2011 8:48 pm at 8:48 pm #783774smartcookieMemberOk, so my dr was extra nice and let me come to the office today although he wasn’t accepting patients.
Surprisingly enough, the throat culture is positive for strep. This is the third time I have strep in the past 3 months.
I also took some bloodwork to make sure there isn’t some other infection that we’re overseeing.
Thank you all for your help!
July 7, 2011 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm #783775basket of radishesParticipantSure, it could likely be strep. Get yourself to a doctor huh?
July 7, 2011 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm #783776Derech HaMelechMemberi figure the germs cant survive in freezing temperatures.
Ooh so you do agree with me. It sounded before like you didn’t.
This is the third time I have strep in the past 3 months.
Would you say that all three times that you got it were in the same week of each month?
July 8, 2011 4:31 am at 4:31 am #783777kapustaParticipantI think strep might be going around now. If its a problem, maybe look into a vitamin…?
Refuah Shelaima. Hope everything comes back good.
July 8, 2011 2:13 pm at 2:13 pm #783778adorableParticipantDM- do you mean that you can get strep at a certain time each month? how would that make sense? does your body become weaker to fighting germs at certain times in the month? never thought there was a connection.
July 8, 2011 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm #783779Derech HaMelechMemberdo you mean that you can get strep at a certain time each month?
I got strep and/or strep like symptoms including sore throat and mild to high fever on approximately the same week of every month for about two years. My fevers hit highs of 104 sometimes.
