Throat inflammation Posted: 06-09-08 05:13am


For the past weeks I`ve started getting a really sore throat. It happened all of a sudden for about 2-3weeks ago, back at the time I was drinking nothing but water, and only eating babyfoods and proteinshakes(tonsillectomy) I took a peek down my throat and noticed that the left side of my throat(on the picture) was much more red than the right and I am sure it is the source of my soreness. It seems that it only reacts to liquids, and that water is main culprit, food, bread, even hot stuff goes down ok. http:// www.skjermskudd.com/show.p hp/636_sorethroa t1b.jpg http://w ww.skjermskudd.com/show.php/637_sorethroat 2.jpg It doesen`t hurt to swallow, it`s more of a "burning" sensation afterwards, it varies in instensity. I would also like to adress a feeling I`ve had the last 3-4days now, lightheadedness. I am allergic to pollen and the day I started getting lightheaded I got this terrible allergic reaction and the nose wouldn`t stop running. Usually worst when I sit and focus. Thanks!

Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Answer A4250 Posted: 06-10-08 18:14pm


Current medical status: Got an examination from a local ENT-specialist and a doctor. Both said throat looks fine and tonsillectomy is healing nicely, 3-4weeks ago. Current medical treatment: Cytokapron for my bleeding about 3weeks ago. Haven`t been to a doctor in over 3weeks. According to the photos you sent me it seems to me that you have only a slight throat inflammation. I believe it’s nothing serious. You can try gargling with a topic antiseptic (1% iodine solution for example). Allergic nose inflammation (allergic rhinitis) can be prevented if you avoid flowers and if you use nasal sprays that contain corticosteroids or antihistamines.
