OMFG what if they leave it and i choke on it. i am so so scared of EVERYTHING! help me please..REAASUREANCE WOULD BE GREAT
I have canker sores in back of mouth and tounge. Help please!?
I get canker sores pretty often -- anywhere from 2~4 times a year usually. But they were always in the front of my mouth, on my bottom lip etc-- They hurt but it's pretty easy to apply the sore medicine and it hurts to eat but it's not unbearable.
Well now I have at least 2 sores. One is on the side of my tounge in the WAYY back like right where it starts going into your throat, and one on the back near my tonsils. -------- Is there any way to find some relief?
Eating is terrible, swallowing I want to cry and I can't eat in front of people except my boyfriend becase I look like I'm being made to swallow poison or something. I live abroad in Korea now and they have a dif. system so you go to doctor/pharmasist and they give you all medicines, so you don't pick out what you want usually ... so I have the oral medicine and some pills .. the pills help with the pain for about an hour but then its back and you can't take more than 2 pills in an 8 hour period. The oral stuff is almost impossible to apply and only lasts about an hour or less also. I've had these sores around 3 days now ... usually my sores last around 2 weeks! I don't think I can stand much more of this! ... How can I help them heal faster? :(
Canker Sores aren't linked to poor hygiene, i'm just prone to them. My father said he used to get them all the time too, so maybe it's genetic. I'll look into the zinc thing, but the reason I'm taking the meds is because I already have the sores, and I can't stand the pain so I'm taking meds.
Help with canker sores?
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a canker sore in your throat (back near your tonsils)? Also, is it possible to have more than one at a time?
For those who don't know, I am NOT talking about cold sores. If you don't know the difference, this is it:
Canker sore: located inside the mouth, not contagious, no know cause (but many theories)
Cold sore: located outside the mouth (on or around the lips or mouth), contagious, caused by a certain strain of herpes virus
Thank you!!! Again I am NOT talking about cold sores.
Wow, really helpful guys. Of course I have googled this already before posting this. And I didn't ask for treatments. That was not one of my questions.

Canker sores on my tonsils? Strep throat?

what are throat boogers?
some people ask what are those God Awful smelly white or yellow chunky looking things that come out of your mouth when you cough sometimes. I like to call em throat boogers.
Whatever you do, don't smash em in a paper towel then smell it. LOL! I almost puked a few times from doing that.
Anyhow I think it comes from plaque build up. not sure. I know that this is a major cause for bad breath in a lot of people though. A lot of people think that lack of brushing teeth, flossing, infections is the all cause for bad breath, but there are other things that cause it too. Like throat boogers. I know how to get rid of them too.
If you have a strong gag reflex, I wouldn't encourage anyone to try and get rid of them forcefully. If you're not careful ridding of them yourself with your finger, you could do a little damage to your eardrum, since the area is close by where they reside.
The main question is, why do they have to get there in the first place and how do they form?
they aren't only stinky, and everyone gets em, but they can irritate the back of the throat as well. ever wonder why the back of your upper mouth itches at times? well there ya go. you have crap building up in your tonsils or whatever that part of the mouth is for probably a few weeks or months old. gross isn't it. but they do need to be rid of somehow.
How to stop bad breath?
hey, i am a 17 year old male and it seems i get a lot of tonsil stones and I HATE THEM SO MUCH and i would think that i am getting bad breath due to tonsil stones... i was told i have large tonsils and i am wondering if there is a solution to this without having to get my tonsils removed. I don't want to turn girls off when i kiss them. I ALWAYS chew gum and i don't like doing that so much as i do.
Any tips to stop bad breath would be great. and tonsil stones.
What is a safe treatment for mono-related bad breath?
I was recently diagnosed with mononucleosis, and it is secreting a foul odor from the infection location. What is a good remedy for this awful breath I have been experiencing?
If anybody can empathize, keep in mind my throat catches fire when irritated and my tonsils feel like they want to rip off every time I swallow, so something harsh like Listerine may be out of the question.
i do all the normal brushing like any other person
Why does food get stuck between my tonsils and cheek?
I have to use the back side of my toothbrush to press on skin in front of tonsils to get it out. I have tried rinsing gargling and no luck. The problem is it can give me real bad breath.
Should someone that knows ears nose and throat answer this? Two dentists have just dismissed it.
What kind of surgeries have you had in your life?
I've had a c-section....ugly scar...beautiful boy.
gall bladder removed....small scar just under bra strap....itches in the hot weather
laser surgery "down south"....removed some erosion...serious troubles holding "it" after that.....where's the bathroom?!
emergency dental surgery....dentist broke my jaw trying to remove a tooth...ouch!
anybody been under the knife more than that? how about never needed surgery at all? good for you if its you.
