If there's a doctor in the house....they might know what this is.
"Streptococcal pharyngitis usually appears suddenly with a severe sore throat that may make talking or swallowing painful. In severe cases, breathing may be impaired.
Symptoms may include:
Sudden and severe sore throat
Red and enlarged tonsils (I DON'T HAVE ANY!!!)
Yellow and white patches in the throat.
Difficulty swallowing
Tender cervical lymphadenopathy
Fever of 38°C (101°F) or greater. (I think 103' AFTER 3 Motrin IB counts...)
And in addition:
Absence of cough or dry cough
Halitosis
Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting
Rash[1]
Peeling skin on fingertips a few weeks after treatment
Hives or other systemic allergic response, without the presence of the symptoms listed above
...and, BECAUSE I have this:
...I get to wear THIS:
...and take THIS:
If you have never HAD the pleasure of taking Biaxin, it's like sucking on THESE for 2 weeks:
....only, they are anything BUT close to new. Let's say they get run through Las Vegas slots for about a month. Then, put a whole bunch of them in your mouth. That HAS to be the same taste that Biaxin leaves in your mouth after the second dose. The sad thing is, I've taken this so many times, I'm almost used to it.
So, if you ever see me in Vegas....and you see me licking the coin drop trays of slot machines......you'll know I am out of money, and probably feeling a little under the weather....
Funny thing was, after I told the doc that I was running 103' Sunday night/Monday morning....AFTER taking 5 Motrin IB....and she came in 2 minutes into my 5 minute Rapid Strep Test and said "OH CRAP!"........I started tasting dirty coins in my mouth.....
