glad you are finally getting better answers :)
Hi Grace,
I saw the ENT and he believes all my symptoms are due to chronic tonsil infections. He advised me to have them removed. I also had my doctors feel my lymph nodes and they said its nothing to worry about and its probably just them reacting to my mouth troubles. Additionally, I am getting a CT scan of my sinuses and stuff to make sure everything is okay. I still can't shake the fear that it might be HIV but I'm trying to. Thank you for your help and console.
following up with the ENT is the best thing to do.
odds are this is an oral fungal infection going on though you also could have GERD or even allergies/sinusitis will cause an irritating post nasal drip and white tongue too. I really would not be thinking std's at all.
Sorry about that Grace. Thank you. And as I have been away at college, it's been hard to get in to see him. Now that I am on summer break, I'll be seeing an ENT next week. My primary care doctor did a general throat culture and nothing showed up, but I would like a second opinion as my symptoms continue. So, you said you really don't think it could be STD related? I was thinking gonorrhea for a while, but I was told its very unlikely that it would not have resolved by now, even without treatment.
i removed your other post. please read our read before posting post on the forum for the guidelines of posting here.
not likely at all that this is std related.
are you following up regularly with your doctor?

I can't afford to ask a doctor on here at the moment, but I will go see my own doctor and ask about these symptoms too.
Okay, I think I will try both of those. Thank you for your help. I've been really scared to go back for the last couple months because I was scared I could have HIV.
You might do yourself a favor if your looking for expert advise. Go to the expert forum and for a slight fee a doctor will give their opinion. You might want to go back and ask the doctors who treated you for the rabies as they are also experts i this.
