I am 15 years old, i had a fever and i have a sore throat..my tonsils had like white s*** on them. My doctor said i have a throat infection. She put me on antibiotics (Apo-Cefprozil 500mg) and the white stuff has gone away but i have sores on my bottom lip. And i recently discovered that my gums are puffy. Also, in between my two front teeth there is discolouration on my gums and very bad, noticeable swelling. It looks gross!!
I went to the hospital and i was told to stop taking the antibiotics... but my doctor told me to finish them... what do i do?I'm pretty sure this isn't a 'normal' type of strep throat.... Whats Wrong with me?? Help me?!! plzz

I have read all the post and did not read anyone who thought it might be yeast candida. I have all the same symptoms and from googling it found the yeast to be the problem.
I have taken wormwood, used soda to rinse and I take a capsule of acidophilis and open it and sprinkle it all over my mouth. It has been 2 days since I started this and I am better this morning. I started out with sore very red gums then it got real bad. My mouth is swollen, lips ,tongue, sore throat, white tongue, sores inside cheeks, The pharmacy said the antibiotic I was taking made it worse, because it makes more yeast. Today my throat feels better. When I put the acidophisis in my mouth it instantly feels better, so I think Im on the right track. I hope some will come back and share with us their findings.

I have all the symptoms being described here; low grade fever that won’t go away, cold sores/blister on my tongue, swollen gums, sore throat, and a canker sore on the inside of my lip. I thought it was strep and my doctor did a throat culture. The doctor prescribed the standard meds for such, Levaquin-5 days. While my throat has gotten better my gums are still swollen and a spot has appeared on the inside of my bottom lip. The fever comes and goes. Thank you for posting this. I would never have thought oral herpes.
Hey all! I aslo have the same thing as most of you are writing about. Sores - Swelling - throat hurts - Gums Swelled Red - Cankers - all I can say is I did much of what you have (Dr visits - Treatments - Suggestions) Nothing seemed to work except time! I have had this before ans think it's when your body is run down or maybe when you've been sick, stressed out, just plain tired! I know it's painful but I'm used to it because I've had canker sores my whole life to the point of gum swelling sore throat and so on. Canker sores are a form of herpes and or shingles which effect your nerves hence the painfulness of this condition. It's best for me anyways to rinse your mouth out with a form of rinse like peroxll or others commonly found at CVS or other drug stores. It helps to clear your mouth of that c**p taste also I take advil for pain and swelling. It usually lasts about 2 weeks for me then goes away.
Buck up little Campers you'll get through it!

i too have the same syptoms and i jave been to my pharmacist who upon consultation advised me to buy oraldine and lozengels and i must say the swollen upper mouth is now recovering and so is my throat i just cant wait to enjoy a proper meal hope youfind the advice usefull
It's herpetic stomatitis
Hand foot and mouth disease, my son had it, lasted 7 days, fever lasted 5. It was rough, he didn't eat much for the week :-(
I am glad I found this post.... it's nice knowing I'm not the only one suffering from these bizarre symptoms.
I started developing the sores and swollen gums 2 days ago, and started getting a fever 3 1/2 days ago. The fever still comes and goes, but my throat is in a lot of pain. I have cold sores all over my mouth, and I never get them. I have a few on my tongue too, which makes eating impossible.
The doctor gave me medication called acyclovir, which is supposed to heal or quicken the healing process of an oral herpes outbreak. She also prescribed a light steroid to get the swelling to go down. For the throat pain, she said just to take up to 1 gram of tylenol (two 500ml pills) every 4-6 hours or so. That should help the pain and the fever.
For those of you who have already dealt with this, if you're still around... how long did it take you to heal? The doc says between 5-10 days at least for me.

Thank god I found this post. I have all of the exact same symptoms... Had the swollen glands and fever.. was prescribed penecillin.. fever and sore throat went away and now I have like 50 cankers on my lips, tongue, and mouth and my gums are completely swollen.
3 cheers for misdiagnosing doctors! Mine said that she had no idea what was wrong with me and it should clear up in a day or two.. that was 10 days ago!

Hi guys,
i found all of your post when i was looking for what the heck it is that is wrong with me. I have had a fever for 7 days of 101 or higher. I have canker sores in my mouth, my gums are extremely sensitive in certain areas , a long it a few sores that keep showing up on my tongue. It is absolutely impossible for me to eat and i have been in terrible pain for the past week. It started with a sore throat and fever then the sores developed a long with cold sores on my lips. I have no idea what the hell is going on. All i know is that i am on day 7, im tired, im irritable, my glands are swollen ridiculously and i just want to get better. If there is something i can do to speed this process up, please inform me. thank you.

I just want to say I had a very, VERY sore throat and a high fever and was poring over the internet to try to find an answer/remedy. There's an oral analgesic spray you can get that numbs the throat, but I've found the most helpful/healing product to be hydrogen peroxide diluted about 1:3 with water. It doesn't taste that bad when it's that diluted, but it REALLY kills the pain.
Finally, in terms of a diagnosis, I went to the doctor initially and he just put me on some antibiotics without taking a strep test because I'd had a wisdom tooth removed. When the pain of my throat got much worse and my gums started to swell I had to come back. He took one look and said my tonsils weren't swollen enough to be mono, and that I had sores which indicated herpes. Not the sexually transmitted kind, but the kind almost everyone has. So that's that! good luck

I have the same thing!!! I've been misdiagnosed 3 times by 3 doctors, and apparently on top of all of this, I have asthma...
Anyways, I couldn't eat, but it had nothing to do with pain, I had no appetite.
My gums are effing SWOLLEN and I look like Frankenstein and Dracula's baby on crack! Not a good look...
I'm hot one second, cold the next. my glands feel like marbles under my chin, and they hurt.
I have 2 sores on my lower lip, that are big enough to talk to me... and 3 bumps on my tongue, that apparently, are sores too ( according to other posts).
I don't have a thermometer, cause I'm a college student, and we just can't afford that stuff.
My cough has insisted to persist for about a week. I've been using an inhaler ( for this imaginary asthma the doctors keep diagnosing me with) for 3 days now, and now my gums are randomly bleeding.
I've had red eye ( or pink eye) or something like it for about 4 days, and its almost gone.
My headaches are the worst! Along with dizziness, I've felt a type of pain that feels like my ears are gonna blow up! Sometimes its just this weird pressure in the back of my head. I'm constantly feeling like I'm going to fall over, usually because of the dizziness.
Some one help! I kinda feel like Im gonna die.
ps. I brush my teeth everyday, and I'm gurgling salt water as often as I can remember... and it kinda makes me wanna puke every time I do.... and my breath still smells like SH*T
Don't let this herpes/gigivitosis/strep/mono/ w.e.the.F.this.is KILL ME!
thnxxxxx XD

Thank goodness for forums. My 2 year old son has most of the same symptoms. He has had a little cough for about 2 weeks. and then Friday he developed a fever of 102.4 F. Then Saturday, morning his temp was 98.8 F. I didn't give him any meds for the fever either. Saturday evening his fever went back up to 102.8 F and he wasn't eating as much as he usually does (my Twins LOVE food). So I gave him Tylenol and Sunday morning he awoke with swollen dark red gums and a little white spot on his tongue. So I took him to the DR. Monday morning and she said he had a double ear infection and some infection in his mouth. She prescribed him Amoxycillin and said that it should help his ears and mouth. Well, he has been on the antibiotics now for two days and his mouth seems to be getting worse. His discomfort level has also risen. I believe it is probably yeast and the antibiotics are making worse but he needs him for his ear infection! Help! I am calling the doctor in the morning and I will post our outcome. Thanks :-)
Ok people the difference between what we have and the herpes thing is the herpes thing will spread to even your chin. if ur sore is white its probably a cnaker sore.
Ok so if im not sure about anything else . Im positive ur experiencing tonsilitis. I had this one ... sore on my tongue ... sore throat.. along with a little flu symptoms.
