Tonsillitis?

[Chimaira]

So I started Uni 3 weeks ago, made a bunch of mates and 'got on it'.. :drink:

Since then I've had a week of Flu followed by a week of acute bronchitis and today I've just found out I've got a week of tonsillitis to look forward to.. :n:



Anyone know any ways to get the sore throat to fuck off? Strepsils and Ibuprofen aren't doing jack, apparently some people gargle with aspirin? :/

Doctor refuses to prescribe anything until she can tell whether it is viral or bacterial or some shit..



p.s. inb4 man up, euro it, deal with it, needs slamming etc etc

The doctor should be able to tell if its viral or bacterial by looking at the tonscils, if they have white spots then you need antibiotics.

I used to get Tonscilitis 5-6 times a year and my doctor gave me Antibiotics even if I didn't have the white spots, just in case.

There is little you can do, your body has to fight it off.

Stay warm, get lots of sleep and take time off work as it IS contagious.

Usually goes within 5 days, mine only took 2-3 days.

After I kept pushing the doctor they finally referred me to have them out........fucking nightmate that was so I wouldn't suggest that unless you are getting it a lot!

As above lots of sleep, if your desperate try a warm glass of water mixed with a small tablespoon of salt, gargle it for 20 seconds, if u can take the taste makes a massive difference. Try gargling mouth wash aswell. Iv had exactly same thing mate been at uni and could feel my throat going after 2 weeks, i get it a lot.

Ha ha! My flu, tonsillitis, and migraines were on and off for a whole year, until I realised I'd pissed a whole year at uni up the wall and had to leave!!!

Standard freshers flu shit tbh.

Get some Vitamin C tablets, stop eating vast amounts of junk food and actually eat a vegetable. Cut down on the binge drinking (lol) and sort your sleep pattern out.

If its actually tonsillitis then pretty much what devilsadvocate said

Drink warm water with pepper in it, I get tonsilitis quite often, should really get them removed but never get round to it

Snort Fire.


But seriously I had mine chopped out and still get tonislitus. How fucking ridiculous is that.

That's not possible mate, Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the Tonsils........they can't be inflamed if you have't got any lol

and white bally things grow :/ fucking disgusting. Your tonsils are on the side of the throat, restricts air flow, and food.

You might have swollen siliva glands, as they cause the same symtoms (feels like your swallowing glass)
