There are other strong medicines that you may need to take. Other antibiotics that belongs to a different classification. The best thing to do is to see ENT, have a culture throat swab culture(which is important) we never know maybe the strep and other bacteria have developed resistance already with the one you are taking now(penicillin) so it will not work anymore.\nAlso, have soft diet, so it wont cause must pain when you swallow. Yes, drink a lot of fluids. Salt water may just irritate your throat, better to stop it. Use betadine gargle or any oral antiseptic 3x daily.\nHope you feel better soon.

There are so many possibilities, so you should definitely see a dentist first, and possibly a doctor.  One possibility is what's known as a sialolith- this is a hard calcification that builds up from saliva flowing through the submandibular gland.  Generally people who have this experience pain when eating (really, it's when you salivate a lot- i.e. when you're eating).  Treatment for this condition is excision (removal) by an oral surgeon.  Your dentist, oral pathologist or oral surgeon will be able to diagnose this and set you up with either a referral or appointment.  You should however get this checked out as soon as possible to rule out any sort of malignancy (although this would be a very atypical presentation of a malignant pathology)

Take your butt immediately to the ER... right now.  Stop waiting for answers.  Your life is important and health should be your main concern at this very moment.  I am not questioning your pain, but I have been through this and I know that it is serious... so go!  NOW!

Call your doctor ASAP. He/she should be aware of your temperature and the persistence of this pain. You need at the very least a complete work-up, including bloodwork and chest and maybe abdominal X-rays. Don't mess around It could be a million things, some minor or some very major.

Most likely it is some form of indigestion.  One that comes to mind is lactose intolerance, because the same thing happens to me when I drink milk, eat ice cream, or anything like that.  (It's only been the last few months.)\n\nBut if it has gone on for 3 days, you need to see a doctor.  There are other possibilities, some of which are more serious and definitely require treatment.  Only a doctor can tell you whether it is anything that needs to be treated.

Have you had a stroke or some other condition that has induced dysphagia? Or perhaps medication that is impairing your gag reflex (benzodiazepines, neuroleptics, anticonvulsants, some corticosteroids, some antibiotics, anticholinergics, antipsychotics, antiparkinsonian drugs, anxiolytics, etc.)?\n\nDepending on the cause, various treatments ranging from physical therapy to medications exist.  Most popular is of course dietary modification and swallow therapy.  Surgical dilatation can also be done, if warranted and appropriate, as can cricopharyngeal myotomy, where the cricopharyngeus muscle is disrupted to reduce resistance of the pharyngeal outflow tract.  It really depends on the cause in the first place.  The important goal of treatment is to avoid aspiration and improve nutritional status of the patient, so working with a specialist in swallowing disorders to obtain optimum therapy for the individual case is key.\n\nJohns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD has an excellent swallowing center that might be worth looking into.\n\nGood luck!

Younger children less than three years old will have pain for a week or less; older children and adults may have pain for as long as two or three weeks. Many will also note ear pain. This is due to common nerves that go to both the throat and the ears, thus tricking the brain into thinking there is ear pain when the pain is actually coming from the throat. \n\nTo assist with pain control and fluid intake, Popsicles may be eaten as often as tolerated. This serves as an ice pack at the back of the throat.\n\nI am so sorry that you are in pain but it appears you will gradually get better and will be OK in a couple of weeks. If you still have unbearable pain, by all means see your doctor again.

Are you having problems breathing?  (Coughing, gagging, etc)  Go to nearest ER.\nIf not, try this home remedy:  Get a couple of pieces of soft, fresh bread.  Ball up a good sized bite, and eat it.  Be sure to chew it well.  Try it several times, up to 2-3 pieces of bread.  The bread will usually snag the lodged object and help force it down.\nIf you are in severe pain, having trouble breathing, or spitting up blood, PLEASE don't wait, Go to ER!\nGood Luck!

I always use Tylenol sore throat...it's a liquid and you can get it at any local drug store.  It always works for me as soon as I swallow it.  Hope your throat is better soon

Are you eating too fast?\n\nIf it's only been going on for two days sounds like your stomach is somewhat irritated.  Are there any other symptoms?  If it continues, you might want to consider a doctor.

I had mine out years ago, but I think the doctor advised a week.  Basically, you eat soft food until the pain goes away.  Pain is your best guide - if it hurts to chew on the area (and it may still be tender long after a week), then don't.  It is still safe to eat, but stick to the soft diet until the swelling goes down, and rinse out your mouth to keep the area clean.

Aw... I'm so sorry. I hope you'll feel better soon.\n\nDo you have a comfortable pillow when you sleep at night? Do you have restless night's sleep or just sleep in one position at night? Sometimes as simple as a pillow can do that to anyone. If you'd like whenever you wake up in the morning, you can do a little exercise that requires two things from you:\n- For you to sit up in bed with your feet on the floor and have about 5 minutes for this.\n- Then, do "neck-exercises" meaning gently turn your head in different directions to relax the sore muscles.\n\nDuring the day time, if your neck starts to ache just do a little bit of the same exercises and it'll go away. At times the difficulty to swallow can also result in the in-comming cold and soar throat. Drink hot tea with lemon or an herbal tea--usually either one does wonders on sore muscles. A little bit of stretching in the morning helps to relieve the tension through out the body, just make sure not to over-do it. Take your time with every exercise and you'll see, you might even feel a lot better than ever before :)\n\nBest of luck and take care :)

I'm no Dr,,,but seems obvious you've got a throat infection.\n\nThe acid reflux certainly could have initiated rawness>inflmation,and let a "bug" get hold.\n\nStandard Drill is to gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide ,and then with an alcohol-based mouthwash,,such as Listerine.\nBoth are anti-septics,kill germs,etc.\n\nThings like Chloraseptic Spray or Lozenges are both pain-killing AND antiseptic.\n\nI'd suggest using all 3.\nEspecially if you've gotta wait till seeing a Dr.\n\nNo sense letting an infection Grow & spread,,and risk it becoming systemic when Peroxide & Mouthwash \nare so Effective,cheap & readily available.\n\nUsing it cannot make any condition worse.\nAnd it Might save you a trip to the Dr.\nMillions of people use it everyday for same symptoms.\n\nGood Luck!Hope it's nothing serious,and all better soon\n\n\n*** When You have acid reflux,,gargle with a Strong solution of common Baking Soda and water.\nMight have to do it a couple times.\n\nIt neutralizes the stomach acids in your throat,,,which are incredibly strong acids.\n\nYou can even swallow  a little of it,,,it's actually an old home-remedy "antacid".

Ok as strange as this may sound, I have an experience that happened to my sister that may help (or not). She had the same sensation.......something stuck in her throat. What happened was that she swallowed a pill and then went to bed. The next morning she woke up and it felt just like the pill was lodged in her throat. (Same sort of symptoms as you). Long story short.......after much aggravation and people telling her she was crazy and that the pill couldn't possibly be lodged in her throat, she saw a doctor. As it turned out.....she had swallowed the pill, but not with enough water. So as she slept that night, the pill stayed in her throat, but disintegrated as the night went on. However, it stayed long enough to actually cause an ulceration in her throat. Therefore, when she swallowed, she "felt" the sensation greatly. \n\nPerhaps at some point in time, something lodged there....and stayed long enough to cause an ulceration or an irritation. Perhaps see your doctor and they can do an endoscopy as see. *shrugs* Again.......just a guess.....just a possibility. Good luck.....I so hope you solve this and start to feel better!

Yes, go to the hospital!  Even if it is just a boil (doesn't sound like one) it's still big and needs to be taken care of properly.  Why be in pain if you don't have to be?

How are you ever going to pass this course?  You have posted two very basic questions here looking for others to answer them for you.\n\nSimply Use Your Brain.  It isn't hard.  Go on, try it.  Once the juices start flowing, the pain goes away.
