What are the signs and symptoms of meningitis?

High fever, headache, and stiff neck are common symptoms of meningitis in anyone over the age of 2 years. These symptoms can develop over several hours, or they may take 1 to 2 days. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, discomfort looking into bright lights, confusion, and sleepiness. In newborns and small infants, the classic symptoms of fever, headache, and neck stiffness may be absent or difficult to detect, and the infant may only appear slow or inactive, or be irritable, have vomiting, or be feeding poorly. As the disease progresses, patients of any age may have seizures.

I have same thing and it is by far the most annoying thing on the planet. I am going insane. I cant stand it. I will prevail i will swallow this piece of c**p. FIGHT THE LUMP!!!!

WHOS WITH ME!!!

Well I have read and read threads here and different sites about these yellowish bits behind the throat or near the tonsils. About two or three years ago I sensed that there was something unusual going on in my mouth. Have you guys ever smelled something and could kinda imagine that's how the thing tastes? Well I had that feeling coming out of my mouth and I noticed it as I was whistling one day at work. It was a sense of like a piece of old food stuck in between your teeth (I know because I have that nasty problem when I wouldn't floss as a little boy). Anyway, I looked in the mirror one day and saw NOTHING! But one day, I was drinking some water and felt a little solid bit emerge from the back of my throat as I chugged that water. I swirled the bit I felt inside my mouth and felt on my tongue and brought it forth. I got it and it was that nasty little tiny yellow bit. Curiously enough, I smelled it and it reeked!
I decided to swab with a Q-tip above the tonsils and kinda up going inside those flaps that I think lead up to the nasal passage (I'm not sure) and in the mirror I see more bits of that white-yellow c**p come out in solid bits and they stunk like c**p!
I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. That annoying but faint sense of something smelling in my throat as I whistled had stopped, but came back a few weeks later. Fearing for having bad breath (as I HATE it on other people, who probably don't even notice) and not even wanting to risk having it, I asked my doctor what she thought it was.
She said its just food that builds up over time in the crevices and flaps behind your throat. I don't know what to do now because I don'e see anything back there anymore and have done everything I can to clean out the back of my throat and I still feel something back there, just like the rest of you guys. Sometimes I feel like shoving something thick enough all the way down my throat (like a cucumber, banana, dong) to probably knock or scrape anything that's clinging on back there. As most of you know, doctors only diagnose by a trial and error method, and this my friends is an issue these doctors have no clue about.
HELP ME!!!

PS> I think the old-food-in–the-throat theory might be true, since phlegm probably wouldn’t be a candidate to becoming a solid substance in a moist throat, neither post-nasal drip or other gooey stuff (or is there?)

You are talking about something totally different. You have tonsilliths. & you need to go to the ENT specialist. I had them to until my tonsillectomy 11 days ago. There's no way to get rid of them. Either antibiotics prescribed by an ENT specialist or the operation. Choice is yours. I had them out because I had pain & other issues too.



Hope that helped.

I have the same problem and I read somwere that it is due to stress and anxiety. I recently lost my job and I got very depressed and anxious. I went to the doctors and i am now on medication. Believe me there is nothing stuck in your throat it is just a reaction from stress and anxiety.

this supposed doctor is a joke. Don't listen to him. He cannot even spell correctly. he is a fraud

I have the same feeling of something in my throat for about a month. No pain. Took a Q Tip and no yellow nothing. I have a goiter and it is a bit big, had an ultrasound to check for cancer about 6 months ago and nothing. What could this feeling be?

Me too! I've had it now for about 2 months. My boss has it too. Sinus draining and an icthy feeling in my ears. My nurse friend looked back in my throat and saw nothing. She says it's sinus or alergy and to go see the doctor. I have no insurance and pull in 9.50 and hour so it's a hard decesion. It feels like there is something stuck in the back of the throat , where the neck meets the chest...that little soft spot below the larynx. Little or no pain. When I eat something spicy it will burn back there. Feels numb after I wake up, like I've had a sore throat but is healing. Sometimes it almost goes away but will come back up. I do cough up clear phlem. not a lot but it is constant. What is this stuff??? One wierd thing is my voice box will qiver sometimes for a half a second on the side. No lumps no blood. ? ? ? ? One other wierd thing is that my boss and I both started to smell something like car exhaust when this stuf began.

Why are we all having basicaly the same symptoms? Strange.....

Ok so i'm always making a funny little clearing noise, and I've been doing this so much that my family yells at me for it, but I honestly can't stop, it feels like some type of mucus is deep in my throat and it just won't come up. I don't know if I have a nevous tick or somthing like that. I'm only 13 so I REALLY REALLY hope that it's not anything.......bad.
I don't know whats wrong with me.... HELP!!!!

I started having the feeling like a vitamin was stuck in my throat a few weeks ago. I was really worried because it wouldn't go away. Then is went away for a couple of days then it came back. Now it has been there for a week and won't go away, it is very annoying. I have been on Protonix, I do have acid reflux and stomach pain and indigestion. I am not really in pain but sometimes I have a little discomfort across my shoulders or chest from the lump in my throat. Any idea what this is?

While there may be more to it, I think this about sums it up.

I know what you mean - I have the same thing happen - only later whatever tiny piece of food is stuck up there behind the uvula falls down and I cough it out or I swallow it - once was broccoli bit - once chicken - once a piece of rice - stays stuck for a few minutes or a couple of weeks - MD wants me to go to an ENT - he said it could be I need to have my adenoids removed or I could be having a problem with the vagus nerve not working just right (nothing they do for that, I guess) Let me know what you find out - will you go to a dr?

Did you find out what the yellow chunks were and a solution? I HAVE THE SAME THING!!!!!!

I have had this problem for ages...i dont feel that hungry sometimes...sometimes i feel hard catching breath...i think its a nerve trap...for example, i ate a can of fish (those tin ones)..i didnt cook it...i was so dumb...and i kinda choked on it...so i had to push it in somehow...i dont know where it ended...but i knw it went somewhere deep behind my throat...and since then...there was sensations of something being behind my throat...yoga might help by the way..close your mouth and breath through your throat...with your mouth closed....dnt inhale through nose... windpipe gets clear and stronger..it could help...anyway..i have noticed that i feel so tired aswell sometimes..and i get cramps...i shouldn't be talking about this but...i have had habbits of masturbating...and after that...i did get dizzy spells...it could be a mental disorder...that relates to energy in the body...i have hard times concentrating in studies and i get kinda like panic attacks..its kinda weird..and sometimes i have a inner emptiness inside of me...i think its got to do with the brain...energy components...dont listen to me...but its just something i have thought of..because of my bad habbits...i feel hot alot..and i get cramps...everytime..i find it hard to walk etc...anyone here has the same kind of symptoms...i also get stressed alot and have anxiety attacks when that inner feeling emerges within...
