Posted on Tue, 10 Oct 2023
Question: For Dr. Bhagyesh V. XXXXXXX



Sir i am using turmeric powder as per you instructions. Throat pains are reduced , but still not finished. I can feel a swollen tonsilitis in right side by tounge (i am sure its tonsil). But it is having slight pains. I dont know why it is. Same i felt 2 month back . Sir does this will finish completely with turmeric powder?? Sir from the start of this throat pain 2 week back i dont have any fever. Is it strep throat or sore throat or tonsilitis.???How can i recover fast? A dull slight pain up to neck and back of head . Overall pain is reduced very much with turmeric powder Should i increase the quantity??? Problem is every time i search the solution for such pains , its written every where that hiv cause recurring strep throats. My thorat have slight tonsil swollen but not as much red as i have seen on internet.

Sir pains are in right side at the end of throat not to much but it is. A dull pain near right ear. And same type of pain at the back of neck and right side .
I dont have fever.
My thorat is not too much red. But the tonsil area looks a slight swollen.(both)
I can touch my tounge to by twisting to the end of throat right side a bump type something there. Its not hurting but i know it was not here before. I cannot take picture of that. But i try to send the picture of tonsils.

Hiv cause is the most terrifying

I have cough but its very less. It comes due to irritation in throat. I have started salt water gargle. It gives me relief. But turmeric powder is now 6 days daily i am taking at night with milk 1 teaspone. It reduced the pain and symptoms of lymp in neck. But how much time it will take more?

As you know a sudden throat pains started 2 month back same this bump and ear pain was there. You told me it might be air borne virus

Sir i was in a high level of stress today. When a slight cough i have i felt like vomit. But when i gragle with salt water. This vomit feeling now finished and stress also decreases. But sir how can i get rid of this.

Pics are attached

Brief Answer:
minor inflammation of right side adenoid gland.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for the photographs.

* I have clearly seen the attachments, there is very minor congestion of the
adenoid gland of the right side which is normal consequence of simple sore
throat.

* Guidelines at present

- Do not google to match your symptoms under banner of HIV.
- Continue gargles with salted lukewarm water 5 minutes a each two times a day.
- Start taking turmeric in milk two times a day.

- There is no need of any type of antibiotic at this point.
- Drink more liquids.
- Avoid stress.
- Manage sound sleep of 7-8 hours.

* Usually it will take around 4-5 days to settle it completely depending upon how
easily you take it.
More you will panic, it will take more time to go !

Regards.

Brief Answer:
follow up .

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome for follow up.

1. Bump type feeling at the right side is adenoid gland enlargement feeling, which
you were not able to capture in photo.

2. I have told that current intensity will take 4-5 days to fade away, means not
counting of the onset.

3. Upper respiratory infection in form of viral bug or other air borne disease can be
contracted by any person of any age as you can not wear mask 24 hours and
you can not stay at home 24 hours to protect yourself from air bugs.

So, majority of the persons are getting minor amounts of such issues, which a
casual person will neglect and it will be cleared ; while more sensitive person
like you will keep it in mind and will suffer more than normal.

4. Strep throat is having more vivid pattern of fever, severe redness and
congestion, difficulty in swallowing, drinking, general malaise usually which are
absent in your case.
Sore throat does have associated neck, ear pain with lymph node.

5. I have told to control yourself from searching on google the different symptoms
relation to HIV, because it is your tendency to do so and suffer to more extent,
which as a guide I do not wish you to do ; and if you practice this 5 th point
sincerely you yourself will understand its importance.

Hope this clears your doubt.
Wish you fine health.

Brief Answer:
follow up .

Detailed Answer:
Hi

* Every adenoid inflammation does not have runny nose, that depends upon the
type of bug or viral pathogen.
* Adenoid is not at the end after tonsil, its lymphoid tissue behind nasal cavity
which gets enlarged in many cases of upper respiratory tract infection.

* I do agree if you feel the bump under jaw line, it may not be an adenoid and it
can be internal part of submandibular salivary gland.

* Acid reflux or GERD will not cause mentioned problems.

Ok sir thanks for detailed reply.

Sir bump is not under jaw line ..i move my tounge under jaw line.. in same direction its at the end.. sorry its difficult for me to explain. Kindly tell me what is that.?

My thorat after gragle is better but right side neck pain means back side of head is still there. and slight ear pain is there. But now i am following all instructions. Only stress control is difficult.


Now sir sometimes i felt a slight vomit feel. I did not vimit and also my stomach is near about ok. Does stress can cause such problems?

And last sir. Again a question related with hiv. As i told u i had some protected sex incidents. In on incident i had a protected sex. And after removing condom girl(prostitute) give me a handjob. But my fear is some days back i had a yeast infection. How many chances are there if he had viginal fluid in here ,means from the base of my penis and during massage that can cause infection?

A slight pain in other side of ear going to neck also present.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

* I have got your matter what you want to convey by moving of tongue under jaw
line and lump you are feeling is submandibular salivary gland internal part only,
nothing dangerous at all.

* Slight pain over back side head and behind ear will also get alright soon, which
is told referred pain.

* Slight vomit feel is due to gastritis component only.

* The last mentioned procedure with prostitute will not give rise to HIV infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

* Gastritis is the acidity component involving stomach usually due to irregular food
habits, stress and other factors related.
* You can handle it with proper dietary control to avoid oily, spicy, non veg, dairy
fat as much as possible and intake of nexium 40 or other proton pump inhibitor
once a day on empty stomach.

* Blow job will not transfer virus from yeast area unless there is cut or breech in
the continuation of penile mucosa.
