Loading ...I hope that’s all it is, a sore throat from something.
Reminds me of a young boy who’s mom asked me to check him because he was turning his head to the side like he had a sore neck. They did the same gave him advice for pain for strained neck. I checked him and found he had Thrush. Sometimes certain meds can cause it. The mom convinced it was a stiff neck said well he never had that before. You hear that a lot. Never had it before means they’ll never get it I guess. Well he stopped eating and was getting dehydrated. I said make sure they look in his mouth this time. They do Xrays blood work but don’t asses the Pts however there are very good ER doctors and nurses that look for a answer not just assume, just not then, although it can happen.
She had to insist that I told them to check his mouth. They did and said OMG. By then it was spreading down the back of his throat. They had to admit him put him on IVs until he could eat/ drink again.
