Sore throat

[Mission]

I'm looking for some advice here.

It seems like I get a sore throat a couple of days after I go down on my girlfriend. It's happened about 3 times now and the last two times I've taken antibiotics and cleared it straight up.

Neither of us has any other signs or symptoms of anything else and there's no bad smells or taste.

 

Anyone got any ideas of what could be causing this

Probably a good idea to get your GF to see a doctor....she may have Chlamydia which might be causing your sore throat or it could be having the air-con on most of the night while sleeping....who knows huh?

 

Best advice is to see the doctor & tell he/she exactly what you've told us. They'll put you on the right track.

This is simething I have learnt to put on my "bring" list and that's Throat tablets or gargle/listerine etc.

 

You should use Listerne both before and after and preferably suck on a "anti bacterial" lozenge.

 

These items should be manadatory for everyone.

i even use the Listerine to wash my cock or his after the sucking.

We've both been to the doctors and she's had a blood test but they just give me anti biotics for 5 days. After 1 day the sore throat is gone so I know it's cause is bacterial.

Still keep getting the sore throat though...

... or it could be having the air-con on most of the night while sleeping...

 

I always get a sore throat followed by the Pattaya cough and put it down to pollution / excessive partying... until last trip when I slept without the air-con on at night. Could be coincidental, but it made a pleasant change. Of course, with the build-up to the hottest part of the year, this may not be an option for some.

I think the best way to do this is to have 5 BM's sit in front of you & start firing several scenario's at you....but that ain't gonna happen

 

Is there something your doing with your GF that is different than before??? Are you going down on her in the shower?? Could be the BKK water your swallowing?? That's the sort of questions you should be asking yourself. Let us know how you go

I use to get throat infections like a motherfucker. I used to have trouble with the doctors at home, giving me weak ass doses of antibiotics. Symptoms would clear up for a few days, then once I finished the antibiotics course it would flare up again.

What antibiotics did the doctor put you on?

Instead of going to doctor, I started just buying them myself(online).

I would take 1000 mg penicillin dose twice a day for 7 days. Always worked for me.

 

I spend a lot of time in hotels, so if I feel my throat getting dry, I leave a window open before I go out in the morning or at night I place a bowl of hot water in the room.

I had a seriously bad sore throat most of my last trip in december it will get better for a while and then flare up again . I put mine down to the A/c unit

lv'e noticed a lot of girls have irritated throats from too much A/C. Many leave their A/C off at night when in their room even if it's hot. l did get a sore throat from a Walkabout bar girl in Phnom Penh. l took nothing for it and it cleared up in a week.

I get sore throats a lot, and definitely noticed a higher incidence when going down on the girlfriend. I read most sore throats are viral, but when I take antibiotics it clears up within 24 hours, which would indicate I keep getting bacterial infections. I haven't experimented with leaving air conditioning off, but do suspect this plays a part, as often sleep with air conditioning.

 

I worry a bit about taking antibiotics too frequently, but untreated, it takes about a week to run its full course (and hurts like hell in the first few days, don't want to eat/swallow etc). Given the ease of access to antibiotics in SEA, I'm inclined to medicate whenever I get symptoms, I figured as long as I take full course I'm not setting myself up for building up antibiotic resistant bacteria. Though I did read something about whenever you take antibiotics, some of the 'good' bacteria build up a resistance to it, but this good bacteria also has interaction with the bad stuff like strep, and in time can indirectly build up resistance of strep to antibiotics. Not sure if it's bullshit though, or just how much of a resistance is developed.

 

In terms of building up your immune system by letting your body fight the infection, well to hell with that, tried this for ten years and it still does a shit job.. I've tried a heap of the natural remedy stuff, but really hard to tell if makes a difference. They definitely *do not* work if you leave it too late, but gargling with diluted apple cider vinegar or cayenne pepper (mixed with water) at first signs of trouble may prevent it from taking root. Apple cider vinegar didn't seem to work for me, but cayenne pepper may have (cannot find it in Asia though, to test further). Burns like a bitch when gargling, so might just be a placebo effect or something lol. Something I am quite sure does work if gargled early enough is betadine throat gargle. Yes the betadine you'd normally apply to sterilise wounds, but they market a special throat gargle version (do not just gargle the regular stuff or you're going to have problems). I would say the betadine solution would be the king of throat gargle solutions, as if that doesn't knock out the bacteria, nothing will. Note while this did work for me, if you gargle too often (I already had the sore throat take hold, and gargled two or three times daily for a few days), it can leave you with a very dry feeling throat - so go easy on it as can cause tissue damage, maybe I hadn't diluted it enough (suggests 1:15 from memory).

 

If anyone knows where to get hold of betadine throat gargle in Thailand please post, I can't find in small pharmacies, but should probably try at the larger ones in the supermarkets.

The use of listerine before oral sex may not be a good idea. Your mouth is full of bateria. This 'good' bacteria makes it more difficult for 'bad' bacteria to enter your body. Listerine kills a lot of the good bacteria rendering you more susceptable to contracting something.

i think it is just the Pattaya throat, everyone i know gets it. Drinking, smoking, heat, hookers, Air cons it all adds up.

[sabato]

Went to a boots chemist today and they have a gargle called isodine, equivalent of the betadine throat gargle, 70 baht. It releases iodine, which is also used to sanitise drinking water that contains harmful bacteria.

[pattaya bound]

I get them too. But I do notice it more when going down. If I don't go down then I get none. The AC seems to be a none issue with me. A 10 day course of Penicillin at 400 mg taken 2 times per day works well for me.

It is called (Clap to the throat)!!!

Response from Dr Tourasia!

 

First of all, does your Girlfriend have a Cock (Had to ask)

Second, if GF has minge does it smell like a week old Grimsby fish bucket

 

If no to both, gargle with salt water 3 times a day and stop muffing

An American study has shown that when going down on a woman a particular molecule is produced in the vagina and is secreted that can lead to throat cancer, in fact it is more likely you can end up with throat cancer then a smoker just by going down on the lady.

Oral sex has been linked to a tiny risk of mouth cancer, an international team of scientists say.

 

Researchers had suspected that a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer, the human papilloma virus (HPV), could also be associated with tumors in the mouth.

 

Now researchers working for the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, have provided more evidence, publishing their results in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

 

The scientists studied more than 1600 patients with oral cancer from Europe, Canada, Australia, Cuba and the Sudan and compared them with more than 1700 healthy people.

 

They found that patients with oral cancer associated with a strain of HPV known as HPV16 were three times more likely to report having had oral sex than those without the virus strain.

 

HPV16 is also the most common strain associated with cervical cancer.

 

"The researchers think both cunnilingus and fellatio can infect people's mouths," according to an article in New Scientist that reported the research.

 

U.S. virologist Dr Raphael Viscidi from Johns Hopkins University medical school worked on the study. He believed the findings substantiate the link between HPV and oral cancer.

 

"This is a major study in terms of size," he said. "I think this will convince people."

 

The risk of getting oral cancer is low and about one person in 10,000 develops it.

 

About 75-90% of cases are caused by heavy drinking and smoking; the combination of tobacco smoke and alcohol is thought to produce high levels of cancer causing agents.

 

But scientists had been puzzled by a group of young people who developed oral cancer.

 

"We have known for some time that there is a small but significant group of people with oral cancer whose disease cannot be blamed on decades of smoking or drinking, because they're too young," oral cancer specialist Professor Newell Johnson of King's College London told the magazine.

 

"In this group there must be another factor, and HPV and oral sex seems to be one likely explanation. This study provides the strongest evidence yet that this is the case."

Oh, you are just a bringer of good news! I not only muff birds all the time but always like to finish with a smoke.

I will remember this equipment list for the next visit to the Windmill.

This is actually pretty interesting, recently I've been fucking my girl BB, and she's been coughing ever since because she'd always go down on me after a session.

 

I've been here for awhile, and I can definitely tell you that A/C will definitely make your throat sore in the morning. Best thing is to buy a fan and keep the A/C off at night.
