Sore throat,gums,tongue

[jbell]

Ok, I'm new here and have done some searching around, but haven't found anything specific to my symptoms.

Basically this is what has happened...
I got two cold sores (painful white things where my cheek and gums meet)
After receiving those two sores, a week later, I came down with a nasty 102-103 fever. The fever was consistent for 3.5 days (occasionally breaking and coming back)
On the second day of the fever the sores enlarged, my gums inflamed a bit and became extremely sensitive, my throat also became sore, and I started getting pimples on my tongue (enlarged taste buds?)

I was unable to eat and still am unable to eat due to my mouth being entirely too sensitive. The symptoms are still there, just not as bad during the fever period. It has been one complete week since the fever has completely gone away and I'm a bit worried about what could still be causing these symptoms...

I just gave my problem some time and it went away when my fever disappeared. My doctor noticed I was in such pain, he gave me Vik's to help. I feel for ya, I hope you get better soon.

p.s. rinse with peroxide, it helps.

how long did it take to go away? did you take anything for it? i was doing some research and it seems like the same exact symptoms to something called Herpetic Gingivostomatitis. i think perhaps my strep triggered it? can you tell me some more information on it if you can?

I never had it diagnosed. I had to wait it out and drink liquids due to the sevarity of the pain. I tool valtrex for 4 days and it seemed to help with the cold sores.

So I'm having similar issues in my mouth and throat. A couple weeks back I got a really high fever (about 102) that lasted for three days along with what I thought was just a pretty bad cold. I started to feel better and about 2 weeks later I started to get a sore throat. The fever came back with the sore throat and the throat became progressively worse throughout the week. It became difficult to swallow, eat, talk, etc. I went to the Doctor and was tested for strep. They put me on antibiotics even though the strep test came back negative. So far the amoxicillan has done nothing for me and I'm starting to get inflammed taste buds and my gums are swollen, sore, and when I brush my teeth they bleed. They almost look bruised. I'm not sure what to do and the Docs don't know what to test me for. I don't have allergies, I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary, I take a multi-vitamin, I brush regularly with a soft tooth brush... what else can be done?

both cankers and strep and various other issues are all connected to a lowered immune system try and boost up your immune system i suffer from the same issues

I had a high fever yesterday with a lot of night sweats. I feel so out of it today; my preception of time, etc. I've had a sore throat for a week now. Before that, my throat would be sore for a few hours every few days, but it would go away. Now it won't go away and I think it induced my fever yesterday. When I woke up this morning, my gums were inflamed and they bled when I brushed my teeth. I'm going to go see the doctor in a few hours. I'm really scared it's oral HPV or oral Herpes and it's really stressing me out. To add to it all, I woke up with a migrain headache and I have a full day of classes and a ballet performance I have to watch.

I have the same symptoms and I went to the doctor recently and was diagnosed with strep throat. You need to see a doctor and get a throat culture. They swab your throat with a q-tip and you have your results within 5-10 minutes or so. My doctor told me that even if your symptoms and the pain go away you may still have the bacteria in your body. Over time it can vegetate on your heart valves and cause them to fail. There are various antibiotic treatments, I know there is one you take for 5 days (2 on the first day, 1 for the next 4) and one where you take 1 pill every 12 hours for about 10 days or so. Either way with those symptoms, especially the fever, you should get a culture to atleast rule it out. Better safe than sore throat :-)
