I am a 20 y/o female in good health, about a week ago one night I got a very high fever & a sore throat. After two days of this I went to the doctor because I thought I had strep throat, so he did a strep culture. (I'm still waiting on the results of that, but a friend of mine has strep so I'm pretty sure that's what it is.) The doctor put me on 5 day Levaquin 750 antibiotics because he thought it was strep too..I am currently on day 4 of my Levaquin.

ANYWAY this is the weird part.

About........3 days into the illness my gums started to feel weird. Okay fine, I ignored it. THEN my gums got SWOLLEN and red. They are never swollen and red! Then I got 3 ulcers on my tongue, the kind you get when you eat acidic foods but I have not eaten any acidic foods!!

This is scary, and disgusting, and I'm wondering what is wrong with me. Can strep throat spread to your mouth? Or have this affect on your mouth? Has anyone heard of this? I can't even eat! It's been 3 days now.

I called the doctor but he was no help.


Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!
