I put something deep in my mouth this weekend that just came out of another girls mouth so I figured that’s how I got Strep throat. It was a very aggressive strain because I went from feeling fine to death bed sick (ulcers in throat, head, join pain and 103 degree fever) I thought I would die before I could get to the doctor the next morning. I went to the doctor and tested positive and got a shot of rocephin and a bottle of penicillin. She did that 5 minute test and it was bright stripes positive in 3 minutes. I did not start feeling better for about 12 hours and within 16 hours the fever broke and 24 hours the yellow green puss balls feel off of my tonsils. What is upsetting me is that just as my fever broke I felt one of the puss balls in my tonsils leak and then my neck glands just under my jaw blew up like golf balls and now my ears hurt and my neck is stiff. Now is this just a last fu from being sick or is the penicillin not killing it and now I have Meningitis? Also, now that I

I was diagnosed last week as having a urinary tract infection. However, since drinking cranberry juice, the symptoms have cleared up. My doctor has prescribed antibiotics, saying that although there are no symptoms, there still could be remenants of the bacteria in my body. I got a second opinion from another doctor who said that the cranberry juice had cleared the infection, and that I should only take the antibiotics if the symptoms returned. I am reluctant to take the antibiotics. Can anyone offer advice as to my situation?

Ok. My doc says I have got brinchitis. My nose is very congested, i have got cough and I feel tired. He made me a CVC and it turns out I had a strong infection. BUT I hear that a viral infection is not the same as a bacteria, and ANTIBIOTICS are made to fight bacteria...! HOw are you suppose to cure a viral infection???? What he gave me were ANTIBIOTICS.

I don't understand all the fuss about special anti-bacterial soap. It seems that if you wash your hands properly you will get rid of germs regardless, right?

I have never had street drugs by needles, unprotected sex, and cannot figure out how I got Hep C. I did have a number of operations from 1983-present. I had active hep C in the 90's right after an operation. Never been so sick! I tried to call a hospital that I had been in , in the 80's to find out if I received blood but they had no record. How could I really find out how I got this. Does it always stay in the blood or does it go away. Thanks for your help.

I'm a b + blood type. My ancestors are Russian and Siberian nomadic herdspeople similar too indians and inuits. I seem to be healthier and stronger and with more stamina than most females. I've heard tell b-types are resistant to TB, and possibly the hiv virus. Is this true to any extent?
