 Posted: 04/15/07 - 20:04 Post subject: pus in throat... |
  |
|
| I have been feeling under the weather for about two weeks. Started with cold-like symptoms. Took Zicam and things seemed to improve, then woke up one morning with no voice and serious throat pain. Had a rapid strep test done which came back neg. was told to gargle salt water, rest voice. As the week progressed I got a cough, low grade fever, ear ache, and joint pain, aches. Went back to doctor who indicated that I had swollen glands on left side, and pus on tonsils as well as white patches in back of throat. Did another rapid strep test, came back neg. again, but started me on azithromycin anyway. I have been on it for 4 days and have experienced little relief. Still have pain in throat, still see pus on tonsils, and still experiencing joint, glandular pain. Is there anything else I can do to relieve the pain. I've been taking ibuprofen 600mg and acetametaphin as well. How long does it usually take to notice improvement from infection? |

| Anytime that I have a sore throat I immeditely check for pus in my throat. Everytime I see pus I realize that, the pus is whats causing my pain. I resolve my thorat pain by simply taking a cotton q tip and removing the pus balls with as many q tips I need in order for the pus not to live in my throat any longer. As a result I feel so much better. Removal of the pus is the answer. I do this very often and it relieves me tremendously. Also, suck on a lemon, it chases sore throats and bacteria away! |

I too have had that problem and it can either be strep throat or a viral cold symptom. Right now my daughter and I don't have strep that came back negative so it's a virus. We both have small fever's, gunky runny noses, slight cough , red swollen throats-tonsils, and our lymph nodes are swollen I had some pus on my tonsils as well.
I have also found that removing the pus from my throat makes me feel better 10x faster like immediate relief. I use a waterpik, toothpick or qtip and remove pus and gargle with salt water. |

|

| I have pus on my tonsils and have had for years. I also have a lump in my throat, hoarseness, and sometimes when I feel like I have something in my throat, I cough and swallow, etc and spit up a whole bunch of hard pus balls - gross - I also remove the pus balls from my tonsils and once pressed on my tonsils and out came a lot of white stuff - consistency of toothpaste. I cannot stand this feeling of something in my throat. Any suggestions?[/b] |
