How Can Swelling And Pain In The Throat Be Treated?
So I ve had strep throat twice in a month span. I ve completed one set of antibiotics and am currently half way through my second set of antibiotics and still am having a sore throat with swollen tonsils. With taking these antibiotics I ve gotten a yeast infection both times no matter if I take probiotics or not, with that being said I ve also been partaking in masturbation with using my saliva as a natural lubricant. My vulva is red and itchy and in some pain if I sit. I was wondering if I have given myself strep of the vaginal area. And if the antibiotics I m taking now will help with that or if I need to make an appointment with my physician.
Your sore throat doesn't seem to be improved through an antibiotic course. So you need to investigate further with throat swab culture. The pain and itching in vulva can be due to infection of that area. You need to give the antibiotic second course as well along with the anti-inflammatory drug.
It's advisable to consult a physician for detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
