Zephyr_Nova Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Bit concerned about this sore throat. The Covid test was negative - great. But this throat thing isn't like ones I've had in the past. Normally they're bad in the morning or night and disappear until the next morning. They fluctuate, and they're usually accompanied by other cold symptoms. But this one is continuous, and there's no coughing/congestion/anything else to indicate I'm sick. It also went from being just a background annoyance to one that's really making its presence known in the last couple hours. Warm tea does not soothe. Ffffffffuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffffffffuuu I think strep is going around - I’ve heard of quite a few people that have had it in recent weeks! Feel better man I can’t stand brutal sore throats, hard to eat and swallow, always uncomfortable I meant to say I hope you feel better soon. Happy the covid test came back negative.

ignatius Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 strep is always going around somewhere. but if sore throat w/no fever, no aches, no loss of taste/smell then it's unlikely it's covid. you'd know i think. one of my nephews had it a couple weeks ago. young guy. 25 i think. said he had a fever and felt like shit for about 6 hours then it went away. but he didn't test negative until a couple days ago.

YEK Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 New kitteh's cat food is a special vet brand that is SUPER expensive and she needs it for the next 3 months. Oh well, no more buying vinyl and other stuff I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also congrats on the new kitteh she's adorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up more and we're looking at 75 dollars but will last a couple weeks Edited November 25, 2020 by yekker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow is that ever pricy for a couple weeks! But I get it - the early stages of development are so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for two lobes between the uvula and the back of the throat, right and left of the throat opening. If they're swollen, then they will be very visible. Inflamed tonsils will have a little bit of grey/white spots on the surface. If your throat soreness is localized primarily in one of these two spots, and it's a sharp pain that is worse when you swallow, then yo very likely have strep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it years ago. Ibuprofen and antibiotics were a godsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what they look like normally though. you can get swabbed for strep and it's a rapid test. they get results while you wait. takes like 7 minutes or something. you should go get swabbed. strep can turn into scarlet fever if left untreated. scarlet fever can be deadly. i've had strep so many times in my life. the sick always went to my tonsils. last time was about 2006 i think. i felt exhausted and i could feel my tonsils in my ears. they were gigantic and had funky junk on them. ugly. if you do test positive for strep see if you can get the Zmax antobiotics. it's the entire course of antibiotics in one dose. it's powder you dissolve in water and drink. i did that and the next day i was already on the mend. night and day. otherwise they give you the Z-pak which is a 5 or 10 day treatment of pills. hope you feel better.

cichlisuite Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I think I'm going slightly insane and very irritated by this pneumatic pick hammer idiot starting his workday at 7am 6 days a week, going on for 8 hours a day. The terrain here is pure rock, and yet some idiots decided to build two houses there. It wakes me up every morning in the worst possible way and I have used up all my patience and zen state. I can't, I just can't deal with it anymore. Even the earplugs don't help. This construction site is 50 meters from my window. This racket has been going on for almost a year now. I can't listen to music, or work. I honestly thought about sabotaging his machine. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
