Painful Swallowing, Cough At Night, Sores On Gums Posted: 02-21-06 17:19pm
:(
i came down with what I thought was a cold
about nine days ago. I had a fever for
about one day, and no fever since then.
My throat then began to hurt so bad I
couldn't swallow. Last week I went to
the doctor, who tested for strep, which
was negative. He said since it was a
virus there was nothing really he could
do, so he prescribed me tylenol with
codeine for the pain.
Well I seem to cough a bit more at night
which isn't helping my sore throat any.
I feel like I have a painful lump in my
throat. My right gland in my neck is
still swollen as well.
Then this morning I noticed I have two
canker-like sores on my gums, way in the
back near my throat.
Should I just go back to the doctor, or a
different doctor? Any idea what this
could be? Please, if anyone has any
advice, please let me know. Thanks!
