Globus feeling after risky sex.

Posted , 2 users are following.

Good day, 4 months ago I had a risky sexual encounter. Penetration was done with condom, but I had unprotected oral sex (receiver). 4 days after, I had swollen tonsils without fever. 2 weeks after, a pasty white matter covered my gums like tartar but on my upper gum that disappeared after a one night fever a week after. After this I started having night sweats that lasted 1 week aprox. All theses symptoms have already gone but a globus sensation appeared in the left of my throat. The intensity varies sometimes I slightly feel it and other times I definitely feel like something stuck there and in the worst cases my right ear hurts a little bit and also the part of my neck which is under my right ear and at the joint with my jaw.

Tests I took:

4ta gen. Elisa for HIV (from vein) 30, 45, 75 and 107 days after last sex activity: all non reactive

4ta gen Eclia for HIV (from vein) 60 days after: non reactive

Ecography from the neck: no adenopathy seen.

Laryngeal endoscopy: left part of lingual tonsil slightly swollen (nothing to worry about according to the doctor).

Radiography of paranasal sinuses: slightly maxiloetmoidal sinusitis (nothing to worry about according to the doctor).

Hemogram blood test: everything under appropiate parameters.

Urine test: everything under appropiate parameters.

ENTs tell me that my right tonsil is only slightly swollen, but it doesn't deserve antibiotics. I took deflazacort for 10 days (also azithromycin for 3 days) and it only worked while I took it and only in the mornings, at night the globus feeling came again. I don't know what else to do. I would be glad if I can get rid of it.

    Ask the doctor to give you some Nitrate swab to cauterize your tonsil. Seems the infection has damaged the outer nerve. I've done that and helped alot.
