I almost chocked on a piece of chickent, it was lodged in my throat for like 15 seconds before it finally passed down.  I could not breath at all for that time, thank God it went down.  I have a really really bad sore throat all day today...can anyone explain to me why i feel lik ethis?  Yesterday when it happened my throat felt like "streched" out.

Just a scrape, nothing to worry about unless you cough up any blood (indicating you have a cut or tear rather than just a scrape).\n\nThe tissue in your mouth and through is called mucous membrane.  The bad news is, it gets irritated really easily and hurts to an annoying degree.  The good news is it's just about the most rapidly healing tissue in the human body.  \n\nChew your food really well, maybe grab yourself a Jamba juice or something (you'd put ice on a bruise, right?  This is the same thing) to keep the inflammation (swelling) down.  The pain should go away in 2-4 days.

I strongly recommend talking to your doctor and getting a chest xray to rule out pneumonia.  Being as you had a cold which is primarily an upper respritory disease, if it suddenly relapsed into a stronger virus (and being as your immunities are already down) it could turn into any number of things quickly.  Also, bulk up on your vitamin C and zinc.  Both will help you feel better faster.  The primary thing, listen to your body.  Sounds like you are worn down from all of this and are in serious need of rest.  And dont forget the old standard of homemade chicken soup.  Not the canned stuff.  Homemade chicken soup has so many vitamins and nutrients in it that its not funny and its also a comfort food.  Hope you feel better soon.

yeah, you need to give your larynx a rest.  Keep talking at a minimum.  Drink lots of fluids, I heard gargling salt water might help, but I don't know.  Hot lemonade works for sore throats, I don't know about laryngitis.  Did you go to the M.D.?

I had my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday, I didn't swell up that much. But my right lower jaw is a little swollen and I have a tiny bruise on my chin (my guess is it's from where the oral surgeon had to hold on to me) I was put under for it though,so I didn't feel a thing during the surgery. I was just going to be given local anesthesia, because I did not want to pay the extra money to be put to sleep, but my mom freaked out and told me she'd pay for me to be put to sleep, so I (reluctantly) took her up on it. Is your TONGUE sore? Mine feels like it weighs a ton, and if I miss a dose of pain pills, IT HURTS SOOO BAD! I am happy it is finally over with though. I am at work right now and on some of the pain pills and don't know how the heck I am gonna make it home, lol, I feel almost like I am drunk and don't know what the heck is going on! \n\nAnyway, I got off track (see, I told you I don't know what's goin on)\nTo answer your question...No, you should not be swollen when your b/f comes to visit you. Alternate between cold and hot packs on your swollen jaw, 20 minutes cold, 20 minutes hot..\nAlso, do a lot of the salt water rinses especially after you eat. You don't want food getting caught in there.

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection to me, not the flu.  If you ever had the flu, you'd be too weak to write this much on the computer, trust me.  Of course you want to up your fluids with water and juices.  Lay off of the carbonated drinks because they will irritate your bladder and just cause more dehydration.  Hot tea or broth (chicken) will soothe the sore throat; gargelling with warm salt water (1tsp. per cup) for a few minutes will also comfort the throat; take 2-3 aspirin with food (crackers) it will reduce the inflammation/pain and fever.  As for the cough, you can take cough meds if you have them, or honey will help too.  If you're running your heater in your home, it will dry out your bronchi and cause a dry cough.   If you have a vaporizer use it, if not, just put out a pan of water close to your bed to keep the air moist (you can take a good hot shower and that will help also).  Keep warm, get alot of rest and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in the am.  If you're having yellow/green mucous coming up, definitely see a doc.  If not, it will pass in a few days.  Godloveya.

Hi! You really should call your Primary Care doctor if it feels that bad. I'm sure that the person who took out your tonsils also gave a number to call if something like that happened. I would recommend you call that number as soon as possible or go to the emergency room. The removal of tonsils is a common procedure these days, so you shouldn't be experiencing these complications if they are this uncomfortable for you. Good health and good luck!\n-laura

babydoll- I did some more research for you on another topic, but one I know can be very helpful for health and well being. Here is a link,  www.holisticmed.com/detox.html\n\nSore throats range from a mere scratch to pain so severe that even swallowing saliva hurts. They can be caused by heavy cigarette smoking and infections of the throat, tonsils, or nasal passages from a virus, fungus, or bacteria such as streptococcus, the one that causes strep throat.\n\nIf an infection is the cause, your doctor may take a throat culture. If streptococcus or any other type of bacteria is the culprit, he or she will prescribe an antibiotic. Be sure you take all of the antibiotic.\n\nIf strep throat is left untreated, serious complications, including abscesses, kidney inflammation, or rheumatic heart disease, could arise. An antifungal medicine is used to treat a fungal infection.\n\nQuestions to Ask\nIs it very hard for you to breathe, are you unable to swallow your own saliva, or are you unable to say more than 3 or 4 words between breaths?\n  \nDo the tonsils or the back of the throat look bright red or have visible pus deposits?\n  \nDo you have any of the following problems with the sore throat?\n Fever\n Swollen, enlarged neck glands\n Headache\n General aching feeling\n EAR PAIN\n Bad breath\n Skin rash\n Loss of appetite\n Vomiting\n Abdominal pain\n Chest pain\n Dark urine\n  \nDoes someone else in the family have a strep throat or do you get strep throat often? \n   \nHas even a mild sore throat lasted more than 2 weeks?\n  \n\n\n\n\nSelf-Care Tips\n Gargle every few hours with a solution of 1/4 teaspoon of salt dissolved in 1/2 cup of warm water.\n Drink plenty of warm beverages, such as tea with lemon (with or without honey) and soup.\n For strep throat, eat and drink cold foods and liquids such as frozen yogurt, popsicles, and ice water.\n Use a "cool-mist" vaporizer or humidifier in the room where you spend most of your time. If you get a sore throat often consider adding an electronic air filter and humidifier to your furnace system.\n Don't smoke.\n Avoid eating spicy foods.\n Suck on a piece of hard candy or medicated lozenge every so often. (Do not give to children under age 5.)\n Take an over-the-counter medicine for the pain and/or fever. {Note: See Pain relievers in Your Home Pharmacy.}\n Do not get in close contact with anyone you know has a sore throat.

If you continue feeling like this...you should seek medical attention.  Over a year ago my throat was bothering me for over a week...I didn't do anything about it and ended up losing my voice for two weeks.  I finally sought medical attention when I lost my voice and found out that I had a polyp on my vocal cord.  So definitely if it continues to be a problem...Go see a doctor!!!

Wasn't running but was hiking and felt a weird twinge in my leg, I thought that I should stop and rest and massage or stretch but the I thought "No, this isn't a good spot and I've only got 2 more miles to go." Hurt to walk or stand for next 3 days.\n\nFeel free to laugh.

It sounds like the same thing I am dealing with, I have had laryngitis 3 times in the last 6 weeks and my throat feels raw.\nI have been  to the doc and am on my second week of antibiotics and yesterday even got a shot.\nI was told to call back at end of week and if I still cannot talk, next step is ear nose throat specialist, where they will put a scope down my throat to check my vocal chords. I am hoping I feel better before that.\nHave you been checked for mono? That was another possibility.\nFeel better.

This is such a coincidence! Saturday, after a day at the swimming pool I came home with a fever! I had nbo idea what was wrong with me because I had no stomach pains, no kidney problem, nothing out of the ordinary but the throbbing headache.\n\nSo I took a nighttiime tylenol and took a short nap, then at night I took another one and went to sleep. I woke up better , with no fever nor headache. It was weird! Today I feel totally better.  HAPPY MONDAY! \n\nGO USA! (My team, USA, is playing in the world cup, I hope we win!)

I had mine out 5 years ago when I was 16.  It didn't hurt because they gave me liquid codeine and I was taking that every 4 hours or maybe it was 6...anyway that worked really well.  I even had to go to the emergency room that night because my throat was bleeding into my stomach and I was puking up a lot of blood so they had to go in with some silver nitrate to close up the spots that were bleeding.  With the pain medicine I had the puking didn't even hurt so I'm sure you'll be fine. :)\n\nOh and I didn't eat ice cream at all...Jello and popsicles are where it's at...when I tried to eat ice cream it burned my throat and for whatever reason made me a bit sick to my stomach...could have been the pain medicine though
