Exclamation Any thoughts before i call the Doc?
Had a weird pain/feeling in the back/side of my throught for a couple days. Finally remembered this am to pick up a flashlight and look in there, and right at the back of my tongue on the wall of my throat, there seems to be an infection. When i swallow it hurts and feels like there is something there. So the area is inflamed and there is this hard white stuff there. Doesn't hurt to touch with my fingers. Salivery gland infection? I don't know. Help! Can't call the Doc's office for a few hours still.

It sounds like a case of Iwearawetsuitalldaylongitis.

Call your doc when they open.

Don't go in the water..............you'll give the fish your cooties.

Go to the doc, sounds like strep maybe.

Sounds like a tonsillith that's irritated. Do some salt water gargles (1/4tsp salt in a cup of water) to try to get it cleared out until you make it in to see the doc...since I could be completely wrong.

And my suggestion would be make fresh saltwater. Don't use your tank water. Fish pee and poo in that water

I was sort of thinking a tonsillith as otolith suggested since it "feels like something is there", but strept can also make it feel like you have something clogging your throat.



Ewwwwww:


Wait, the best part:

One word of advice! If you have never done this procedure before, make sure you do it in the bathroom, just so you're near the toilet! Bleh!

In addition to the drip kalk, do a DIY tracheotomy; run your skimmer's intake line in there, then push the return down your throat. Or up your....nevermind.


Feel better!
