I got a cluster of what I thought were cankersores in my throat. Turned out to last about 7-10 days, and I guess it was some weird viral infection, because strep and yeast came back negative.

The closest I could find to what I experienced is called Herpangina. I had the sores and wicked sore throat (ate lots of soup!) but no fever.

Herpangina on Wikipedia

I now have a HUGE, and I do mean HUGE solitary sore in the back of my throat on the right side. It's growing daily. I've been dousing it with Anbesol, but I'm about to start the salt and warm water treatment.

If it doesn't go down in size, I'll be going in to get it burnt off with silver nitrate. Won't be the first time I've had to have a canker sore burnt off.

Geez Sally that sounds awful. I hope you find out what it is soon!

Dang Sally girl, who have you been kissing?

I would get myself to the Doc. Like pronto-pup!

Ain't been kissin nobody...maybe that's the trouble..

Sounds like an allergy to me. Jim had thrush from bactrim once and it was like what you are describing minus the lip sores. Do you think it's the bourban balls? lol Maybe I should try one and see what happens to me. You got them from the same place I did right? What we wont do for our friends.
