Thanks everyone,slept some bit last night but has anyone heard the Pink Loyd song "Comfortably Numb":When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons,thats the way i felt last night:(.
Fever isn't nice at all.
OP you have my sympathy - I was hospitilised with Tonsilitis and Glandula Fever some years back - thank heaven I've not had it so bad since then. I was in such a state, the taxi driver that took me to the hospital thought I was in Labour! :eek:
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?
That's nothing. When mine were really bad, they were so swollen as to be touching each other and the white spots had turned brown. One was the size and shape of a large marble and another was like a little stick. It was the vilest thing I've ever seen, and it was in my own mouth! My breath must have reeked...I also developed glandular fever. It was awful. I had them taken out a few months later & am really glad I did it.
The pain after the operation is quite something. The first few days for me were ok because I was on strong painkillers but when they were reduced I had a lot of pain in my ears. Also eating was easier than drinking. Orange juice was particularly painful!
WHATEVER you do take your antibiotics, drink lots of fluids and rest.....
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...
Showing off in a perverse way. With the 2nd lot of tonsillitis , the one tonsil had a quinsy beneath it. Both tonsils looked like the pic on page 2 with abcesses mostly covering them . Eventually the quinsy popped leaving one tonsil completely knackered and it bled for a couple of days. I had them out a couple of months later to my relief.
Hope the OPs doest go as bad as that and he is having a nice nap now.
Remember amilo drink lots of fluids and take your drugs.

Get well soon
(Apologise for caps but I wanted people to notice)
I had recurring tonsilitis for years (with vomitting
In desperation my mother asked at the health food shop and they recommended propolis
I was pretty distrustful as I tend to think these health food things are frequently bunkum
But it worked! My God, it worked. My tonsilitis cleared up AND it never came back
Try propolis
