Paging Dr. Danny..oh, Paging Dr. Danny
 

Received a fairly brief BJ in a shady ass city men's room around 6pm today, and by 9 pm or so I had a very slightly distracting mild sore throat. It was so slight that it could be ignored or easily attributed to drinking boiling hot soup or coffee and scalding my throat earlier in the day.
BUT it is now nearly 5 am in the god damned morning and the reason I am awake and typing on here is because I have a sore throat so bad I can hardly stand to swallow.
Damn! This really hurts, man!

Surely, STD's and their symptoms don't work or express themselves THIS fast in the body, do they?
Could I have picked up a common cold virus or bacteria through the semi-porous membrane head of my dick?
Sounds crazy, but WTF is going on here.

Yee gads, boy, does this ever hurt.


Thanks so much.

Nothing can kill faster than bacterial meningitis; you can go from healthy to dead within 12 hours. But even the worst of the worst killers won't do what you describe in 3.

My money would be on an old fashion, strep throat, and nothing more exotic, and it had absolutely nothing to do with your BJ. Which is not to say that prince charming couldn't have given you something nasty, just that your sore throat had been incubating for several days, and you just happened to get sick within hours of your indescretions

Call your doctor; most sore throats are viral, and you can't do very much about them other than wait it out. But if it is strep, most people really start feeling great within about 12 to 24 hours after starting simple antibiotic therapy.

For the short run, get some sucrets and suck on them, they will help. Tylenol for the aches and pains. And please, get back to me and let me know how you are doing.

And thanks for answering one of my old questions, do the Amish farmers circumcise their young? You take care

Dr D

Been popping the cold-eez (i.e. zinc lozenges sold here in PA among other states) & my flintstones chewables all day long.
If I am not slightly better by tomm. I will def. go see my on campus health services.
Thanks doc!
You rock!

Self-medicating to treat the symptoms is fine so long as you understand that the onset of intense pain accompanied by a high fever are indications you need to see a doctor post haste.

Strep throat, without a confirmatory throat culture by competent medical professionals, can be serious and dangerous if undiagnosed. Take Dr. Danny's advice and let a medical professional rule it out.

DO the Amish have their sons circumcised?
