It wasnt until my doctor started me on oxycontin before i finally got some relief. I can now do things that I wouldnt be able to do unless I had this to take. I dont think that its something that should be used for short term situations that require pain pills, for many reasons 1st being that its something that in the wrong hands can be abused by selling or just using to get high 2nd its very addicting and once you start taking it if you are on it very long amount of time you cant just stop without going through some serious withdraws. Ifound that out the hard way, because no one told me that it was habitforming, and I went out of town for a week and ran out on vacation. I ended up in the hospital and was told i was a drug attic and the only thing differnt about me and someone off the street was that my doctor had made me that way. That i basically was a legal druggie. When a doctor puts you on this medicene he should tell you that your body will become dependit on the oxys and that you cant just stop if you decide you want to. My message to everyone is this its a great medicene to take for longterm usage. Just dont use it unless you really need it. Dont overtake it or tell peope that your on it because if the wrong person gets ahold of it they will still from you or take it for thereselves. Ask your doctor about all the risks and effects it will have on you. Its a very hard drug to come off when its time.

She is from Venezula and had a son named Michael who was very smart as a 4 year old. This is very important to me. I would never give a patient that dosage or treat a patient with oxycotin for a sore throat.

I have also used the viscous Lido. Somewhat depends on what had already been tried at home. I wouldn't start with a long-acting formulation like this. But as others have said we don't know all the circumstances. What other work-up I perform (CBC, heterophile would depend on persistence of symptoms.) Don't forget HIV as possibility.

I have never prescribed oxycontin as a new prescription, only to temporarilly renew it for someone with intractable cancer pain or something of the sort. For a kid with a really bad sore throat some motrin and maybe 6 vicodins would do. I have been an ER doc for 12 years.

Medscape has good reviews. 186 known cases. Sounds like a cousin of septic pelvic thrombophlebitis, familiar to Ob's.

I always think Lemierre's and acute Leukemia when I see pharyngitis (Yes, mono too). Some poor schmuck locally lost a $4 million dollar suit when he missed acute leukemia in a teenager with a sore throat....I'll often get a CBC on these kids.
