Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Lately, I am having mild throat pain. The pain seems to be responsive to light medication. For two days, I have skin rashes and as of today mouth ulcerations. It seems these are HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) symptoms. I do not have any other symptoms like fever or fatigue. The last unprotected sexual contact was five years ago. Could it be HIV? I also have fibrocystic mastitis and probably a hormone imbalance. I am thinking maybe the skin rashes are hormonal. But the mouth ulceration really scares me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

After five years it may be seasonal, viral. There are least chances of HIV. Consult an ENT specialist or Tantum (Benzydamine) liquid gargle before meals two times, tablet Augmentin 625 (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) two times a day after food for three to five days, tablet Signoflam (Paracetamol and Aceclofenac) two times a day after food for three to five days, Montek LC one at night for seven to ten days for rashes. It does not seem to be HIV infection.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
