Is tongue yellow due to swine flu infection?
Patient: Good Afternoon, I was in the Defence Force 2007-2013. When I got chosen to go on deployment overseas to Iraq, a pre requiset was to have a H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccination, I didn t eventually go to Iraq. Vaccinated November 2009. 6 Months Later April 2010 - Admitted to Base Hospital Symptoms Sleepy, Ears Blocked, throat sore, cough, runny nose, lethargy, diziness, allover body limb soreness, gastrointeritis, diarrhea like a tap, vommiting, dehydrated, cold shivers with a high fever and eyes are light sensitive. Cannot keep down food or water. Administered pain relief paracetomol and had to consume water or be placed on a drip. Discharged after 2 days. March 2011 - Admitted to Base Hospital Symptoms Sleepy, Ears Blocked, throat sore, cough, runny nose, lethargy, diziness, allover body limb soreness, gastrointeritis, diarrhea like a tap, vommiting, dehydrated, cold shivers with a high fever and eyes are light sensitive. Cannot keep down food or water. Administered pain relief paracetomol and had to consume water or be placed on a drip. Discharged after 2 days. May 2011 - Involved in a car accident out the front of base by a negligent driver, sustained some physical injuries and mild concussion. I was rear ended at 80km/h, my car was stationary. Taken back into base hospital for observation and released later that day. October 2011 Diagnosed by sleep physician to have Narcolepsy Cataplexy and started tratment with Modafinil, which I felt all side effects of drug. Later changed to ritalin with better results, up to 50mg a day if required (10mg tabs). May 2012 Admitted myself to public Hospital after midnight with an all over body rash. Red in colour, rash was risen a few millimeters above the skin like a welt, was that itchy couldn t stop scratching it, started only as 2 small circles on my stomach, 4 hours earlier. Was given a anti histamene and allowed to sleep for 6 hours. Rash settled down, inflamation dropped back to skin level and was released from Hospital. October 2013 Medically Discharged from Defence Force December 2013 Saturday 14/12 /13 Symptoms When tongue is flared out, it has an all over yellow/ like puss apperance also, Sleepy, Ears Blocked, throat sore, cough, runny nose, lethargy, diziness, allover body limb soreness, gastrointeritis, diarrhea like a tap, vommiting, dehydrated, cold shivers with a high fever and eyes are light sensitive. Cannot keep down food or water. Only starting to come good today, Mon16/12/13, but still have headache and diziness, vomiting and diorrhea has stopped for now. Questions 1. Cause my Narcolepsy/ Cataplexy symptoms started in 2010, is it possible that the H1N1 injection was to blame? I say this because I had not complained of being tired or falling asleep after consuming a can of coke etc, prior to NOVEMBER 2009, I was in the best shape of my life!!!!!!! 2. Is it possible that I am a carrier of or have caught the Swine Flu through the Imminisation H1N1 injection, as both symptoms for the Narcolepsy/Cataplxy & Swine Flu have very Parrallel running symptoms? 3. Why is my tongue yellow when I put it out of my mouth and widen it, (flex the muscle, puss yellow). Doctor: Hi,Thanks for asking the query,The various symptoms of swine flu includes fever, chills, coughing and sore throat.I would suggest you to get a thorough physical and dental examination done.A thorough clinical examination is required for appropriate diagnosis & treatment.At home take multivitamin suplements and lukewarm saline rinses.Hope this helps out,Regards...
