I thought I had strep throat but now I think its actually ????
Ok it has happen to me before where I ate peanuts and they got lodged in the walls of my thoat. I got them out then. Well again I started getting the flu I thought and then sore throat and checked my throat and had white things on my throat so I thought it was strep, then I saw that one of them looked like before and I got it out so now I have been trying to get the rest out and I can't. When I swallow it feel like something is caught even lower than I can see. But the ones I can I cannot get them out. Now my right ear keeps popping and I feel like I am getting an earache. I have used the back of toothbrush which the doc told me to use b4 and have even used a q-tip to try to unlodge them but its not working. I gargle often and hard. Nothing is working. I have a doc appointment tomorrow but does anyone know what I can try to do also ? I have also tried gargling h-poroxide didn't work. HELP !!!!

Use 1 tablespoon of "salt" in 1/2 glass of "warm" water. DO NOT gargle - just drop your tongue,tilt your head backwards, and let the salt solution sit there for a second or two. Do this until the glass is empty. Do NOT rinse with anything! Now take 1 tablespoon of "honey" - any kind - and SLOWLY swallow it. Do this 3X's a day. Buy a new toothbrush. When you see the Doctor tomorrow - insist on an appointment with an Ears,Nose & Throat Specialist!! You do have a "strep" infection, and you have not got rid of it and that is why it has come back - this has nothing to do with "eating peanuts". Do not share any utensiles in the house,your toothpaste tube,tea cup,silverwear,etc., until this infection is cleared. After each throat infection one should ALWAYS buy a NEW toothbrush. One common place to get a throat infection is eating in a cafeteria or off a food truck! Wash your hands often! Good Luck and take care of this immediately.

If you think you may have strep, you NEED to get to a doctor to get tested for it. Untreated strep can lead to scarlet fever which is a VERY painful and serious disease that can cause scarring of the heart. I've been there it not something you want to experience, trust me.
Visit your doctor.

It sounds like strep which is going around right now, at least in my area. You shouldn't feel like you have the flu if it's peanuts.

I would quit messing with them until you hear from the doctor. You could be making it much worse.
