So yesterday my mom took me to the hospital sadly when we got to the closest one a town over the wait time was 2-3hrs so we went another town over we’re they were able to immediately check me in. The doctor came in and looked down my throat and decided that it looked like mono so the nurse drew blood to get it tested, and surprise I had mono. He then gave me the option of a steroid shot that would go in my hip and I was all like “I’m a minor shouldn’t you be asking my mom” because I really didn’t want to be the person to say yes but I agreed. That shot was the worst I’ve ever had, but for me it was well worth it. They did release me after giving it to me and by the time I got home I was able to eat some soup and today I can drink again.Naomi Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936233860997495278.post-16527446156078811962016-12-13T10:46:48.512-08:002016-12-13T10:46:48.512-08:00According to Centers of Disease Control and Preven...According to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), strep throat is a most common reason for sore throat in children, but it is less common in adults. Although people of all ages are susceptible to strep throat, children between the ages of 5 to 15 years are most affected. That is why crowded places like schools are the one of the major places from where strep throat spreads. Strep throat is so common in children that 6 out of 20 children suffering from a sore throat have strep throat. In adults the ratio is just 1 to 3 persons per 20 persons. The symptoms of strep throat in children include: Sore throat, Yellow patches in the throat, Chills and fever, Abdominal pain, Vomiting, Headaches, Stiffness, Loss of appetite, Difficulty in swallowing, Nasal congestion and “Strawberry tongue” – which is characterized by red and inflamed taste buds. Some of the symptoms of strep throat in adults are similar to those in children. They include: Sore throat, Fever, Muscle pain, Nausea, Vomiting, Runny nose, Sneezing, Coughing, Swollen lymph nodes and sometimes a skin rash. <br />Reference:<a href="https://www.healthunits.com/ent/is-strep-throat-contagious/" rel="nofollow"> Is Strep Throat Contagious? </a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214201736574400768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936233860997495278.post-49843770046948851022016-12-13T06:01:18.434-08:002016-12-13T06:01:18.434-08:00Lmao.

Nurse told me it would burn after the shot so I expected it. Was fine for a mintue or so before a suddenly got really dizzy and sweaty and nauseous in a blink of an eye. Was also connected to an IV at the time for dehydration (couldn't drink water either!). Luckily a got one good day in with the shot after 9 days of pure agony. It was well worth it. Was able to somewhat eat and drink and get caught up again on my diet. I find it funny. I too had a crying baby right next door during my shot that i distinctionally remember. I'm glad I got the shot, even with the sting and passing out. A day of relief was worth it.

Wow- never knew one person could whine so much about so little! Red flags were: no boyfriend, mommy accompanying you to clinic, and title including the words "stupid nurse to blame". There is so much medical inaccuracy and illiteracy in this entry, I don't even know where to start. Thanks for the reminder that it is simply impossible to please some people, even when you are trying to help them. Hope you enjoyed the raging yeast infection that probably followed your "2 antibiotics."

It was the only time I was ever given this shot in the arm instead of the butt. Take the butt pain and increase it ten fold. I was jumping up and down and screaming. I had a charlie horse muscle cramp in my whole arm for 40 minutes. A parametic gave the shot and appoligized later as he was told never to give that shot in the arm because of the pain. They finally gave me pain meds and I had to have my husband come and get me because I couldn't drive. My entire arm felt as if it was on fire and the pain would not stop!gctaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176701115256101599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936233860997495278.post-32549589797988270042012-04-20T17:43:52.128-07:002012-04-20T17:43:52.128-07:00This was extra hilarious!!!

Went to an urgent care clinic and the nurse about gagged me while sticking the swab down my throat.... <br />20 minutes later this extremely good looking dark hair tan doctor came in and asked what I was here for... I said so I can get tested for strep.... He said yah well it came out positive. So what we are going to do now is give u a shot.... After hearing this I started to tear up. ( I hate shots!) I thought they were going to give me the shot in the arm until the nurse said roll over and hold ur aunts hand.... WTF...... it hurt and stung so bad I wasn't even worried about my throat at that point..... 6 hours later with no Tylenol or medicine, the swelling if halfway down and only half as sore.... I'm not sure if it was worth it or if I should have told them to prescribe me antibiotics instead....mnt009https://www.blogger.com/profile/01248274189321186806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936233860997495278.post-53838175961914423512011-07-15T17:54:40.689-07:002011-07-15T17:54:40.689-07:00Hey I found your blog by searching steroid shot in...Hey I found your blog by searching steroid shot in the butt, lol. I just got my first one today! Youch! I ended up testing positive for strep, and still waiting on the results for the blood test on mono. Lucky for you to go to the doc-in-the-box, they were able to do the labs there!! Mine have to be sent to the local hospital from my drs office. And of course with it being a Friday, I prolly won't hear back until Monday. I do feel 50% better since the steroid shot, although it took about 5 hours before I felt this way. Annnnnd I've taken the max dose of Motrin and Tylenol. So maybe that has something to do with it too, lol. I just took my first dose of Amoxicillin, so I'm looking forward to more relief if that's what happened your way too. Anyways you're a great writer and I enjoyed reading about your experience. :)LeeAnn | {froggyleggs}https://www.blogger.com/profile/04934120675935878372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936233860997495278.post-38040884135438237232011-02-17T21:03:33.169-08:002011-02-17T21:03:33.169-08:00Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (ninjiom-hk.cwahi.net) may be ...Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (ninjiom-hk.cwahi.net) may be another choice. i know alot of people use it, its also non alcoholic, though it's effectiveness is not as good as alcohol based cough medicine, but it's still good to use on not so serious sore throat.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409954932479456236noreply@blogger.com
