The virus that causes tonsillitis can make people contagious for about seven to ten days, especially if untreated. Antibiotics can reduce this time to about 24 to 48 hours after starting treatment. Untreated bacterial tonsillitis can make a person contagious for up to two weeks.

When your mouth hurts, your whole day is off. Conditions like cold sores, bleeding gums, cavities, and abscesses can make eating and drinking a battle. If things are really bad, you may even find yourself unable to do basic functions like talk or smile.

Sometimes mouth health falls between the cracks of one's healthcare system. Your doctor might refer you to your dentist and your dentist might refer you to a specialist. Unfortunately, such a process takes months, while all you can do is use a bag of peas to numb the pain. Don't stop there because Facty Health will help you out.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.
