planthelper Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I'm worried about a medical condition. I'm not 100% sure, how it started, but I believe it started after French kissing a woman (nothing else happened). a sore throat or mouth normaly heals very fast, but this condition, although it got better over months still bothers and formost scares me, for obvious reasons. the soreness strted in the throat, than went to the jaw, there were a wisdom tooth was removed 20 years ago( some white lisions were visible, I do bite myself ther at times) and now it hurts a bit at the roof of my mouth. inspecting the roof of the mouth, on can see a small intentation. a few months ago, the doc took a swap, and it came back as clean. at some stage, and I don't know if this is related to the sore mouth, I got very sick, and blood tests showed, that I was very low in white blood cells. this was a sign of a serious (bacterial? viral?) infection. other blood results were as well all over the place, including liver. I have since been tested again, and the results were back into the normal range. my phobia is that it could be a super bug (streptococcus mutans for example) and that it could turn into something nasty over time. I gargled with 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil in 200ml of water, and this is said to kill most bugs, but I wonder for how long one would need to do this treatment. I'm looking as well for physalis angulate herb, as it's said to kill strep mutans on contact. the gp's could not help me further, and the nose throat specialist, is booked out till may and very expensive, and might not be helpful as well, got any ideas, what it could be, and how to treat it??

coolname Posted January 23, 2014 Gargling warm salty water about 3 times per day can help with any sort of mouth infections. It would be better than nothing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted January 23, 2014 that's what I normaly do, and it goes away within day's. the inside of the mouth is made out of cells which heal very quick, much faster than other cells, for obvious reasons, because we need to eat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted January 23, 2014 It would probably be a good idea to keep doing it for about a week after you feel better aswell. Atleast thats what I would do. I hope you get better soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etherealdrifter Posted January 23, 2014 ph ee hurty throaty sad ee sad ee me ee me me after all that shite with micheal douglas eeew ewy yuck many older dudes are now phreakin out .....me too tea trea diluted in the h2 is good me thinks. yodeling should be reduced to an absolute minimum but if you have busted teeth witch it could lead to gum infection some anti biotics might help? got any keflex lying around? now now before all the hippy medico's bust a comment outward here into this thread i know i know BUT if you got a long term gum problem infecting your blood maybe the course is some science based pills. either way when i'm tired or run down no druggas help me except rest rushpekt phand i hope you get some relief and finality to the troath problem. get some tests done and hopefully they will sort it out sending troath good vibes your way ph edit: do not quote me or take this as a medico's answer in any way gargling with raki in the morning kills baddy's and chewing mastika gum has also helped me in the past 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted January 23, 2014 Lucky you didn't "Australian" kiss her. Hot lemon and honey tea is somehow really good, so are green leafy veggies and so is vegemite. Just keep bombarding it with good stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullit Posted January 23, 2014 maybe try thyme, honey, ginger, mugwort gargle. hope it get betters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quarterflesh Posted January 23, 2014 Suck on some vegemite, fixes everything in my mouth. Also i have to stop smoking ciggies when i have mouth ulcers or sores as i swear it slows the healing right down. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted January 23, 2014 Yes smoking slows down your whole body from healing. I have been told that by a few different doctors over the years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted January 23, 2014 when it started, I was living without smoke or drink, already for a few months, so it can't be that. thx for all your input, I will keep on gargling with tea tree and will rinse with salt water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-RC- Posted January 23, 2014 I'd take mega doses of Vit C, B and magnesium. Start juicing, and if you can cook up some cannabis edibles, for the pain, if there is any, and to bolster your endogenous cannabinoid system. It's job is to reduce inflammation basically. Go with the lemon gargle, or salt water, and dodge the fucking flouride as much as possible. Any kind of topical approach will only be band aid stuff, until the underlying infection/cause is addressed. early nights and meditation ;) Good luck.

J Smith Posted January 23, 2014 Have you ever had a tonsillolith? When I get them the feeling is really unusual and painful and can last for months, until it pops out then bang, instant relief. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillolith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted January 23, 2014 get a bit of iodine and dissolve in a glass of water gargle . Should help clear it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~shameless~ Posted January 23, 2014 I remember a family member had almost exactly the same symptoms and duration of symptoms as you PH and he said it he noticed it started after kissing a random person as well, had a lot of problems with diagnosis but one medic professional discussed Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia , it had something to do with sore teeth! He had some dental work to a couple of molars and it went away by itself , at the time I wasn't listening to much as he always had some health issue going on but I do remember the doctor had discussed Neuralgia , strange. Hoping U get better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted January 24, 2014 #12, I had this condition when I was a child, and than with 14 years of age, my tonsils got removed. even without tonsils, there could be maybe some sort of tonsillitis going on me reckons. #14, I can't wait to follow up you suggestion. and thx for all the other ideas, specialy the importance of not going too hard core for extended periodes of time, as this will lower ones immune response. thank god it's not very painfull, you would not believe what the gp's said to this, one said re flux causes it, the other said, I did hurt myself brushing my teeth. but it's not my throat anymore which hurts (sore throat can be caused by reflux) and I have no reflux. and as said, if you hurt youreslve brushing it will heal within 5 day's. I have though a mucus problem, and there where it hurts now, at the roof of the mouth, is where a lot of saliva is produced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
