My boyfriend and i have been dating for a year. . i found out he had been "talking" with a few other girls.. he says he hasnt done anything with them but come on, we all know some guys just cant admit things ? Him and i have been sexual but once i found out about the other girls i just didnt have the drive to want to do anything with him, but once i did. . well, now i have a huge buldge in the back of my throat and its inflamed. It hurts to swallow and seems kinda; pussy if that could be ? What do you think it could be? Maybe, and HOPEFULLY just bronchitis or something of that sort. Also, even if it could be something else; my mom doesn't know that him and i have been having sex. Even though i am 17.. she would absolutely freak. Advice.. please.

TrueAdviceDiva answered Wednesday November 2 2005, 3:02 pm: I don't mean to scare you but I knewof a girl when I was a teenager who had Gohorreah of the throat. She got it from a random boy, however, she was "talking" to many other people so she never really knew who she got it from. She left it alone until one day it got so bad that when she pressed her throat, you could hear the puss. Again, I don't mean to scare you but telling your mother or at least someone you can trust or who can help you get help and medication. Maybe there is a free clinic around you that could diagnose what you have and maybe keep it confidential. Either way, you have to get yourself seen. It may very well NOT be Gonorrhea but until a check-up is performed, you will never know. There are long term health risks for untreated infections and viruses that impactyour adult life, like being infertile. PLEASE seek out someone you trust in order to get this taken careof. Also, you never really know how your mother will react. I FINALLY told my mother about being sexually active when I was about your age and she actually already knew. She wasn't happy but she was relieved that she knew and she didn't punish me, call me harsh names or even yell. GOOD LUCK and keep me posted!!

It could possibly be something like bronchitis or pneumonia, especially if it also hurts around your chest. I mean, it -could- be a form of STD, but from what you told me, it seems just like an isolated incident. [ Vendetta's advice column | Ask Vendetta A Question ]
Girlwithamansname answered Friday October 28 2005, 7:34 am: It sounds like you have tonsillitis/ other similar illness.
Whatever it is you should go and see a doctor to get it checked. You can go in secret if you want but your mum would probably want to help if you're ill. You don't need to tell her that you think it could be an STI (which it is VERY unlikely to be) and you can can bee seen by the doctor on your own if you want.

BkrShaker answered Thursday October 27 2005, 9:25 pm: It could be a sore throat or a strep throat thats wat i think.
karenR answered Thursday October 27 2005, 7:54 pm: Bronchitis is a lung thing. Not much to do with your throat.
Probably just Pharyngitis (sore throat). If it doesn't go away soon go to your doctor and get a strep screen done to make sure it isn't strep throat. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
