Brief Answer:
All queries answered in details .

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Welcome .
Nice to hear about your progress in last 3 months .

* Regarding throat pain

- Current issue is in relation with minor viral infection of salivary gland most likely
- Nothing serious to be scared .
- Drink plenty of liquids .
- Soft , light diet .
- Avoid oily , spicy , chilled beverages , non veg stuffs , excess sugar .

- Tab. ibuprofen ( 400 ) mg morning and evening after meals for 2 days , which
can be taken on OTC basis without prescription .
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water and added peppermint oil 2 times a
day .

* Regarding thigh itching

- It is due to combined effects of skin dryness from hot weather and friction of
inner wears .
- It is not in relation with HIV at all .

- Keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid , dry .
- Wear clean , loose , cotton inner wears .
- Avoid tight jeans , other clothings .
- Application of Polysporin dusting powder 3 - 4 times a day will take well care
of the issue .
- Benadryl tablet for more itching .

* Regarding why on and off throat problem

- Viral infection is an airborne issue , which happens when ever your upper
respiratory tract gets exposed to certain noxious pollen or allergen from the
atmosphere .

Hope this will clear your doubts .

Keep rocking , Be Positive .

Sir thanks for your reply. The only question that comes now in my mind is why i have this throat or neck etc pain .because before i was not having such pain in my life. I have throat pains and flue etc many times but this dull pain was never obsered before. Its slight pain but its there from last 6 months. In which it was reduced and even finished. What could be a reason for such viral infections?
Pain is in the area which i can touch by my tounge .means nit directly but the nearst area by twisting tounge to back of throat. To be honest salt water gives only for some hours relief. But last month without any thing i was feeling no pain. I am now a days only taking centrum tablet multivitamins from one and half day. Does that could be a reason for one month break in throat pain?
And for itching in groing region is that normal or any one can have. I have thoughts that these are because i dont have a strong immune system.

Brief Answer:
follow up doubts resolved .

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Hope you are doing fine .

* Reason for viral infection is air borne in majority of the cases via exposure to
dust , pollens of the environment .

- Even though you are in the same environment say for last 6 months , when
the viral strain changes in the atmosphere , your body is not able to fight
against it , then you may get viral infection otherwise not .
- Multivitamin support immune system , so that may be one of the factor .

* Itching in groin is mostly perspiration related that many of the people have
with strongest immune system also .

Hope this clears your doubts .

sir in your previous answer you told me about salivary gland infection. but sir problem is i have read that such problems of salivary gland are due to HIV . i dont have these issues before . then why they started in last 6 month. i know its after a month break and also its not very much its less. but still i have these issues. i have again started taking care as you mentioned.but please tell me is that true hiv patients have such problems? or their problems are more severe?
Because sir in past 6 month from these throat problems to penis yeast infection(which is finished 2 month back) i was having near about all symptoms that gives me more fear.

And the gland where i feel slight pains is the area of patrid gland . Just i am telling to confirm u the location exactly where i feel slight pains. But its not always one side. Its sometimes right and sometimes left side

Brief Answer:
Follow up narrations provided precisely .

Detailed Answer:
Welcome dear XXXXXXX

* Explanations for your condition to be HIV

- Every problem of salivary gland is due to HIV is your misbelief .
- True HIV patients have many much more problems of weight loss , multiple
enlarged nodes over body , cachexia , recurrent diarrhea , chronic fever &
so on .
- HIV infected glands do not change their locations from right to left ,
they do not give you total relief in between also .

* Concentrate more of deep breathing exercises , YOGA .

Hope this clarifies your doubt .
Welcome for any further guidance .

Hello XXXXXXX

* Cause of your recurrent problem with salivary gland is viral infection .

clinical trials .

of body like immunity which may enhance the possibility .

Sir thanks for your reply. But its very difficult to understand that these glands are not related with hiv. Infact all of my symptoms are in the list of hiv . Yhe symptoms i obserevd in last one year. Last thing if its not related with hiv then why causes of salavary glands infection have hiv on top? Please sir reply i know i am over reacting but its very important for me.

Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (39 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
HIV is not the most common cause of salivary gland infection dear .

Detailed Answer:
Respected XXXXXXX

* It is not HIV on the top for salivary gland infection , it is the Staph aureus
bacteria and H. Influenza virus which is the most common cause .

* Do not think you are over reacting at any time of our conversation , it is your
right to ask any of your doubts hundred times and our moral
responsibility to clarify it .

* If you concentrate more on YOGA , still it would be better for you to
keep away from these threats .

Thanks for reply sir.
Sir now again today i have slight pain in right side. Just at the end of jaw . But its dull pain. Left side pain near about finished.
I have one question. If i touch my tounge to back of my throat near under jaw area. I feel bitter or salty taste. What could be the reason of that.?
2nd sir from last 2 month i am taking centrum multivitamins. Is that could be the reason?
I just want to explain one thing. 6 month back i have some sudden pain in morning in throat. And i visit doctor. He gives me some antibiotics. Bus sir after that pain was on and of for many months but not finished. As i told u before last month the pain was finished.but now again started 3 days back. Fear is more because sir before i was not having such pain in my whole life. And such pain which are not directly thorat sore problems these are some slightly swollen glands. Do u think such duration of months with on and off dull pains with changing locations are not seriouse?

Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (35 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
thorough explanations provided for follow up queries .

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX , welcome .

1. Bitter taste is in relation with sublingual gland secretion at the base of the
tongue .

2. Centrum multivitamins are not at fault in any corner .

3. Because they are changing positions , they are not serious as serious pathology
does not change location .
