ok i guess im kinda in the same boat here but I am 35 yes smoker but i dont have any of the other symptoms just very very painful sore throat i cant swallow i cant smoke so i guess thats the only good thing out of it lol.
Only difference I guess I was having very bad cotton mouth were your mouth is extremely dry then the throat started. i had tried spitting i cant even do that hurts so bad and when i try it feels like i am starting to choke, and then i end up gettin sick and throwing up, first couple times it was nothing but blood ive avoided going to the doctors but now I dont really have a choice so i am going to go Monday. Other difference as i sleep in pieces cuz of the hard breathing. but Im always sleeping I have seen yall cannot sleep thats all i am able to do...

So i stayed home from School today with what i think is a head cold.
My nose is runny, my throat hurts, its hard to talk..
But i just noticed, that my throat hurts differently then normal.
It hurts worst when i swallow, and it hurts by my Right ear.
Does ANYBODY know how long this can last or what it is?
I've only been sick for a day, but if it gets worse and doesn't go away should i go to the doctor?

I have been in the same boat as most of you for about three days now. Didnt start getting really fatigues till today but i think thats cause i havent done much till today, and my heart medication is suposed to make me drowsy anyway. Basically. Both of my tonsils are swolen, but only one hurts to the point where i cant even eat soup half the time, only warmth helps the pain though (VERY little and it takes a while) for me, atleast the one time i took it, ibuprofen worked to make this livable, but for today since i am staying at my moms instead of my dads all there is is alive....and ive taken i think somewhere along the lines of 10+ alive today....its not working too well. I eat cough drops like candy, used the sprays...the sprays just burn the hell out of it and make you forget they are sore till it stops burning. It hurts even to lean my head in certain directions, my ear feels like its being crushed or stabbed as well, on the right side, the same side where the tonsil hurts.
im 19, female, and i smoke, probably more than a smoker would say i should (as in someone who wouldnt tell me one is more than i should be smoking) but im sure its not that cause ive only been smokeing more than a pack every three months for like a year or so.
I just wanna know what this is so i can get it dealt with...im dealing with a heart problem, allergies, and stress out the ass from idiots and parents alike, and i MIGHT also have glaucoma (continualy enlarging optic nerve...you know that pain where you turn your eye to far one way?...well i have that if i try to turn them more than a tiny bit) not being able to eat is the last thing i need, seeing as im 5'11" or so and only weigh around 135 to 140 pounds and droping even WITH eating
this really blows....im pretty sure its some kind of infection, but that really doesnt matter to me...i want someone to shoot my tonsils out of my neck with a .45 right now.

hi,
i'm 20 yrs old, and i also smoke. i'm also a singer.
i know many of you don't have intentions to quit smoking.
but when it comes to being sick, smoking while you're having problems with your throat, isn't helping at all.
you need to stop and let your throat heal.
the smoke is an irritant in your throat, so its probably just prolonging the problem.
although i'm annoyed because i haven't had a cigarette in four days, i'm ready to stab somebody, and my throat just feels as though it's getting worse.
slight contradiction, but i know that if i was smoking it would be MUCH worse.
with my diet, i miss alot of essential vitamins and stuff that your immune system needs, so i get sick alot.
so this information is just coming from common knowledge.
sorry im not MUCH of a help.
but if your throat hurts, just stop smoking or at least cut down, or smoke menthols (preferably stop. menthol will dry out your throat, and your vocal chords but i mean, this is probably what you want)

I had a really sore throat on Thursday it started and just got worse by Sunday i was crying when i tried to eat anything; even jello. I went to the doctors on Monday and he said it was tonsillitis, but i had a affection in my throat as well; since i had white puss spots on my tonsils. I was given a antibiotic; penicillin. I also had to go down to the lab and get blood work done in case it was mono.
So, on Thursday it hadn't gotten any better and i still couldn't not eat, i was loosing weight. I went back to the doctor and he said i need stronger antibiotics and gave to me Azithromycin, and told me to get a chloraseptic throat spray. The spray worked for about two days then it stung when i used it after. I still couldn't eat and Azithromycin seemed to be doing nothing at all. Suddenly on saterday night after missing the whole week of school also i couldn't sleep at all that whole week i might of got about 3 hours of sleep cuase i was stuffed up as well and couldn't breath and if i breathed through my throat the whole time it got dry and when i woke up it would bleed cause it was so dry liquid hurt it and so did air. Anyways Suddenly on saterday night i was about to vomit from my stomach being empty and nothing would come so i blew my nose for a millionth time and blood came out... but i was able to breath it was wonderful! i had a few more hours of sleep that night. when i woke up my tonsils were not as swolen i also took some of the white puss out with a Q-tip off my tonsils it helped the pain.
Now on sunday night my throat is buring like its on fire i don't have a fever right now but my throat doesn't hurt either its just really really hot but not spicy hot. Ice cream only helps for the second it is on the spot then it feels like a fire again. is it cause its so raw? but wouldn't there be pain then?? my breath feels really hot to but it doesn't feel hot to my hand.

I'm also 17. non smoker, never touched anything that couldve hurt my throat. im fairly fit and train up to 5 nights a week. i have the exact same problem as everyone else, except when i swallow it seems to ache the whole way down my throat, like when you swallow way to much food in one go. the pain gets so bad that it shoots down my arms and up my neck. i went to hospital and sat around for 6 hour to be prescribed 4 different meds because they didnt know what it was without testing.
Im now on Doxycyclin, Penacillin, some antifungal pill which is about the size of my thumb, a second antibiotic which i dont recall the name of and an anti thrush medication.
They said it was most probably a fungal infection like thrush, and if not then a bacterial one. not much help for the 6 hours i was sitting around.
If anyon konws what this is can they please reply i am struggling to do anything and have lost over a kilogram of weight.

im 19 and the right side of my throat is killing me when i swallow i cringe everytime, i cant eat, sleeping is even hard for me. I've taken Theraflu which at first relieved the pain in the throat but now it doesnt seem to relieve the pain. it started about 3 days ago. anyways it feels like im being stabbed in the neck on the right side everytime i swallow. it hurts to exhale out of my mouth hurts to drink liquids even hurts when i eat jello. to the right of my tonsil it hurts to the touch but on the left i can touch it only hurts the right side when i drink, swallow, eat, spit.

It sounds like many of you have whats called Mono, Aka the Kissing Disease i was 19 when i got it and all the things you are telling me are exactly what i had. I had to have blood drawn for the test and it proved i had it, after they swabbed me for strep and it came back negative, no meds for it, just sleep, dont be in public as its contagious, and lots of fluids evne though its hard, Plus pain releivers, I couldnt get anything down or the pain meds so i mostly sleep for four days straight.

These pretty much all sound like either:
a) Tonsillitis
or
b) Ear infections which have many of the same effects as tonsillitis

:-( i feel all of your guy's pain. its absolutely horrible. I got swine flu and now my flu symptoms are gone but for the last 4 days, my throat has been killing me. it hurts when i cough, talk, and especially when i swallow. it almost feels like theres an open sore in the back of my throat. hot tea helps, but only while im drinking it. i was taking cough drops, but they upset my stomach too much. im on tylenol, but it doesn't seem to do much for my throat. ive been out of school for 3 days and i need a cure for this so that i can go back. it seems to hurt most in the morning for a couple hours after i wake up, and in the evening a couple hours before i go to bed. i went to the doctor to test for strep, and the test was negative, but she didnt give me anything or tell me whats wrong. 4 days of this pain has been enough and i dont know how much more i can take. :-(
i hope you all feel better
15 y.o. never smoked

I'm 15 and whenever i swallow my throat hurts and way back in my ears hurt. My throat dosn't hurt near as bad as my ears do. They're not clogged but every time i swallow it feel's like someones trying to kill me by stabbing a q tip into my ears and shoving them really far in. I don't know what to do i'v tried everything cough syrup advil throat losinges much more than that to. It hurts to eat and even talk. Help me, earlier i found myself trying to plug my ears to help but it didnt then i found myself hitting my head on the wall.
I went to the doctor but he said it's not strep and sent me home without ANY medications that was 2 days ago now it just keeps getting worse and worse and i don't know what to do!. :-( :$ :-(

I'm just 13 and I have a problem realatively the same. I surely do not smoke. A couple days ago (3 i think) I threw up from what I assumed was that I just ate too much, but the next day my throat hurt and i ached all over and I was easily exhausted. I also had a headache. I couldn't lie down because as soon as I moved or got up my head would throb. After taking an advil 400 My head felt better and i was a little less tired and a bit of the throat oain went away, but soon after the throat pain came back but not the headache. I have trouble sleeping as well as the need to swallow all the time. I did some research and i think it could be tonsillitis or strep throat but I`m not sure. The lozenges tried to sooth my throat with did not work at al, which is why i`m thinking it will probably be tonsillitis.! I think i`ll try that honey and lemon remedy which my mom used before for mythroat. Hope somnfinds out soon!

It's tonsolitus i've had all the same symptoms as you guys
as has my girl friend,
sadly i'm a smoker and she's not
the ear pains some of you guys are getting is a secondary infection,
the pain in the throat can be delt with using a spray from over the counter at your local pharmacy
also soothers work too,
you can gargle salt water but it tastes horrid!! :'(
But it helps :-D
i suggest going to your doctor and asking them to check
they'll most likely purscribe some penicillin it doesn't have many bad side effects unless you turn out to be allergic like me! (ended up having a huge rash over my skin and my throat was closing up i felt sick horrid)
Trust me take the purscription and within 48 hours if you take them right, you'll be fine
if either pains continue then consult the doctor
but
throat sprays and soothers or even anistetic drinks/solutions
but consult your doctor!
Hope this helps
The Angel
P.s: If your more into herbal meds some warm milk and tumric powder will go a long way to helping the pain
P.P.S: Pain killers like Paracetamol are not very good nurafen worked a little for me but i don't recommend either.
