recurrent throat pain, comes on very suddenly, Help!

[colditz]

It's so painful - feels like I have a marble lodged on the left side of my thoat. Ohhhh it Hurrrrts.

Anyone know what may be causing this? I don't feel ill, and it will be gone in a few days .. to pop up again in a few weeks!

have looked at diagram - it's my left tonsil. It hurrrrrts!

Could it be one of those tonsil stones?

could be allergy? I had this - my sore throat kept on recurring. GP was convinced it was an allergy and prescribed a nasal spray. Started using the spray the same day, throat was gone by that evening!

Ugh! what the hell is a tonsil stone!

Sorry, a bit disgusting, but those little yellow lumps that sometimes come up, they can get stuck in your tonsils and can give you a sore throat. Can you see anything when you look at the back of your throat?

no, just had a good poke, there's nothing there, just a big red shiny tonsil

gross.

Lol @ 'just had a good poke'

They can be pretty well hidden, but i get sore throats quite frequently and I always feel like I have something stuck in my throat.
If it gets worse go to the docs and they'll probably give you some pennicillin or antibiotics.

It's making my ear itch

I will go to the doctor if I get amother one.

Yes, mine was affecting my ear quite badly and then i got ulcers on my tonsils! I went to the docs and they did some blood tests and discovered im borderline anaemic which can cause ulcers in the throat apparently. Could you be anaemic?

Also they checked for glandular fever. If you have been feeling run down, lethargic etc then i would definitely go to the docs.

It's not very likely, My thingy when pregnant measures around 14, but then my mum was anaemic so maybe...

How's the throat?

Ok, weirdness ahoy. Throat cleared up completely, and has come back todya!

It keeps doing this.

Get thee to the GPs

throat now fine[weird]

convinced you are allergic to something!

The only thing I know I am allergic to is Kiwi fruit, and a mild nickel reaction.
