Thread: I've been having high fever, sore throat and now got canker sores and sensitive gums. help?

about 4 days ago my throat started giving me a bit a pain. I often get sore throat so I didn't it. Just 3 days ago along with my sore throat I started getting 101/102 fever. Ive been advil liquid for that.the fever comes and goes. 2 days ago I got a few canker sores in mouth some on tongue others on inside on lip. when I wake up this morning my gum felt weird and when I look they were red and somewhat swollen. I tried doing some research and I sound to be having herpangina. I was hoping to get some personal experienced feedback before I go to the doctor because most people who have had the same symptoms as me and go to the doctors get poor information or all get told its strep which I had once and was nothing like this. please help

Soar throat: gargle salt water or down a spoon full of hot sauce, may sound weird bit it really helps.
Fever: keep a cold towel on your head and stay cool, maybe take a cold bath
Canker soars: there is some special cream or get stuff u can get to rub on your gums but I don't know what it's called

If you have sores and a sore throat plus fever, you probably have an infection like strep. Go see a doc and they will give you a broad spectrum antibiotic that will kill off anything that commonly colonizes the mouth/throat.

If that doesn't clear it up, then it is something else, but those are the classic symptoms of strep throat. If you leave it untreated it will turn into scarlet fever, a rash that spreads over the skin and looks like burn blisters.

I feel for you, cankers are the worst. There's a new pill I found that has really helped me (The Canker Spanker), you may want to check them out. TheCankerSpanker.com
