HI everyone, this is my first time posting
here, I am worried and hope someone can
help.
My boyfriend woke up a few days ago with
swollen glands on the right side of his
face and down into his jaw. He didn't and
doesn't have a sore throat but it did hurt
to swallow.
Two days ago, on the right side of this
throat, there seemed to be a huge white
sore in the back of it, and it is still
there. He does not have a fever, he does
not feel sick at all.
Throughout the whole time he has been
sick, he has had a nasal drip and lots of
mucous.
This morning, he woke up and vomited some
phlegm and has done so three more times in
the span of about 5 hours. He said he
doesn't have a sore throat, doesn't feel
dizzy, or have chills, it's all just
centering around the swollen glands (which
are not so swollen anymore) and the white
sore (which is about the size of a nickel)
in the back of his throat. Could the sore
be bothering his gag reflexes and that is
why he is vomiting the phlegm? What could
it be? Is it mumps? Tonsils (he still
has his). We do not have any insurance so
I have no idea what to do. PLEASE any
help would be appreciated.
Thank you
