Turn the computer off and go to bed.
I am in bed and on the computer to keep my mind off it
As well as your antibiotics, I recommend you stick to a very detoxifying diet- although I appreciate it's difficult to eat at all. I ate fresh fruit and bio-yoghurt and it really put the spring back in my step during my recovery.
Other than that, sweat it out and be patient.
Keep taking fluids and the tablets - you will feel better soon. Join one of the more fevered debated to take your mind off it
Thanks friend!!!I've had a banana since Saturday and puked it up:(
I used to get it all the time - every four to six weeks - so I had them out eventually.
I hardly ever suffer from sore throats these days.
Yes it is bloomin horrible. I've had it a couple of times as an adult and you have my sympathies.
Until I had it, I always thought that tonsilitis was just a sore throat. The passing out (manly fainting), puking and hallucinations came as a bit of a shock.
But 5 days of antibiotics should sort you out.
Hope you feel better soon.
My best advice to you is to sleep. That's pretty much all I did when I had it.
Hope you feel better soon OP.
I'll probably have it when I wake up in the morning now.:D
I hope not!And thanks for all the replies,and hope no one gets it anytime soon!
Best thing I ever did
Is there anything you want?
I'll just plump up you pillows, what about a nice cold drink with ice?
Do you want the window open? closed?
There now, don't you feel a bit better?
A bit of sympathy and a bit of nursing, always makes you feel so much better.
Does anyone know how long it takes for it to go away?!
Best thing my parents have ever forced me to do.
Since my doctor said that the next time I get it I have to have them out, everytime I get a sore throat I think "shit!" and get all worried, but then it goes....until the next time. I'm constantly worried. I've never had anything major done in my life, no op's, never broken anything. The only thing I've gone to hospital for are a couple of xrays.
Does it hurt after you have had them out?
Why do we have tonsils anyway if all they do is cause pain?
eeeee just found this pic on t'internet
OP make sure you take plenty of luquids plenty of paracetamol and simply rest alot. If you wan t to take throat sweets give the sugary ones a wide berth and get some mecrocaine or dequacaine.. taste like cack but numb the throat nicely.
ooh nasty , drink lots and get in a suitable analgesic to deaden your throat and mind.
Must be tough in this warm weather too , the 2 times I had it it was the middle of a freezing winter , -5 felt quite nice with my temperature.
Try to stay relaxed , listen to nice music or something quiet on tv to keep you calm. Beg your gp to have them removed as soon as you can, life is loads better without bad tonsils.
I've had tonsilitus many times - it's HORRID - but it pales into insignificance compared to quinsy
I honestly thought on the two occasions I had it that I was dying...
