It sounds like an infection. It could be teh begining of strep throat, or possibly the start of a cold. Take not chances! See a doctor to find out what it is and get some antibiotics!

IANAD, but according to the Mayo Clinic's site:\n\n"Pain here [in the lower left abdomen] most often suggests a problem in the lower colon, where food waste is expelled. Possible causes include inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in the colon known as diverticulitis."\n\nBut here's hoping it's something more minor than that =)

if it's lower left, that's your large intestine.  You may need to just get things moving if it's gas or a little blockage.  If you have some cramping as well, your body might be trying to get rid of something you ate and it didn't like.  Take a walk, drink lots of water (warm preferably), and drink some prune juice.  You should feel some relief in a few hours, by latest next morning.  If it's still there, call your doctor.  Hope that helps!

Just past your tonsils.

I'm no Dr,,,but seems obvious you've got a throat infection.\n\nThe acid reflux certainly could have initiated rawness>inflmation,and let a "bug" get hold.\n\nStandard Drill is to gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide ,and then with an alcohol-based mouthwash,,such as Listerine.\nBoth are anti-septics,kill germs,etc.\n\nThings like Chloraseptic Spray or Lozenges are both pain-killing AND antiseptic.\n\nI'd suggest using all 3.\nEspecially if you've gotta wait till seeing a Dr.\n\nNo sense letting an infection Grow & spread,,and risk it becoming systemic when Peroxide & Mouthwash \nare so Effective,cheap & readily available.\n\nUsing it cannot make any condition worse.\nAnd it Might save you a trip to the Dr.\nMillions of people use it everyday for same symptoms.\n\nGood Luck!Hope it's nothing serious,and all better soon\n\n\n*** When You have acid reflux,,gargle with a Strong solution of common Baking Soda and water.\nMight have to do it a couple times.\n\nIt neutralizes the stomach acids in your throat,,,which are incredibly strong acids.\n\nYou can even swallow  a little of it,,,it's actually an old home-remedy "antacid".

Sounds like you may have a sore throat that is causing the blood.  Try gargling with warm water with a little salt in it.

It is called a uvula. I think laryngitis can cause it to inflame, so can tonsilitis. You may need to take antibiotics to cure that

If this is happening on a regular basis, definitly see a doctor!  However, this happens to me and has been since I can remember but found out when I was older that gas trapped can cause this sharp pain.  I always thought I was having a heart attack when I was a teen!!  It hurt to breath in too deep and it was a sharp pain that felt like it was in my heart area.  This only happens to me a couple of times a year.  In otherwords, it's not a regular occurance for me...

If you have yellow areas on your tonsils and you don't mind taking antibiotics, go to your doctor.  It's an infection. \n\nIf, like me, you can't or don't want to take antibiotics, consume 1000-4000mg a day of Vitamin C, depending REALLY how much it hurts.  In fact, take vitamin C even if you DONT have yellow tonsils, or ANY tonsils :)  Also, take 2 Tylenol every 4 hours, it SERIOUSLY helps with the pain of a sore throat.\n\nOr you can gargle with a few drops of Tea-tree oil in warm water major anti-bacterial) or gargle with soluble asprin or acetaminophen for the pain.\n\nIf you are stressed or especially tired then this can cause a sore throat too, especially at night.

If you still have your tonsils I think that is normal.  I used to get those all the time when I was little, along with a sore throat.  They are ulcers.  Gargle with peroxide, and they disappear in about a week.

Tonsils are glands in your throat. If you have not had a surgery to remove them, then you have them\n\nAre you thinking about tonsilitis? Tonsilitis is the inflammation of the tonsils. You get a very sore throat, and fever. You may feel like you have something in  your throat.\n\nIf someone looks down your throat with a light they can see them swollen into your throat.\n\nIf you think you may have it, you should see the doctor. You will probably need to be put on antibiotic. Doctors are not so quick to remove tonsils these days unless the become infected frequently.\n\nIf you are concerned with bad breath, there are different causes. Are you brushing your teeth regularly? Brushing the back of your throat? using antiseptic mouth wash?\n\nIf you are and the bad breath continues, see your phycian.
