Tonsillitis

[xXBADGERXx]

I went out yesterday for Boxing Day festivities around 9 in the evening and told the Badgeress I wasn`t going to get hammered or anything . We met up with friends and my first pint tasted awful . The Badgeress tasted it and she said it was fine , I put it down to having just brushed my choppers with copious amounts of Colgate and swilled my yap with Plax . About 10 minutes later I have got a serious sweat on , my forehead is shiny and I`m even sweating behing my ears . We leave the pub and walk to another one and everyone complains about the cold , cold , COLD ? IT`s BLOODY TROPICAL . A few mates keep asking me if I am fine and I soldier on with a few more brews and even a pint of water . We see everybody off to Taxis and walk back to the Badgeresses flat . We have something to eat and go to bed ............

I wake up about 4 in the morning and I am absolutely shivering and covered in sweat . I make it to the Loo by following the walls with my hands and get back in bed , the Badgeress asks me what that clicking noise is and I manage to tell her it`s my teeth amongst spasms of shivering and dithering . My ears are killing me like I have snored a good `un and I am starting to suspect this is something more than being a bit cold and shivery . I wake up a little bit later and visit the bathroom again and seem to get lost in the flat , the Badgeress has had enough and comes to find me , I can`t even speak to her and she feels my forehead and bundles me back into bed unceremoniously . I have some recollection of her bringing me warm Ribena . She went out and got me some soluble paracetomol to gargle with and a nice tub of Ben and Jerries . I have never had this before but everytime I swallow it is like trying to swallow my own windpipe as it drags my ears down into my Larynx . I have also had some Tyrozets and Beechams every 4 hours or so with regular tepid brews and I am sweating like a Glass Blowers ar$e , I sound like I am on helium when I talk and the Dog looks at me strange when I tried to tell her to get in her bed . I`ve broken plenty of bones in my life and you know what ? I`d rather break a bone than have this , I do feel sorry for those of you that suffer from this on a regular basis .

[xXBADGERXx]

[barwel1992]

[xXBADGERXx]

Some Hot Toddys can be nice , at the moment everything tastes grim to be honest .

[barwel1992]

hmm i just eat toast and drink water when i feel like that

[xXBADGERXx]

Good GOD man ..... Toast . I may as well smash a bottle on my kitchen work surface and eat the Glass shards .

[barwel1992]

haha the ruffage of toast helps with tonsillitis as the removes the infection well so i was told buy my gp this year when i was off for 2weeks (conjunctivitis then tonsillitis)

[ixlr8]

Sounds like penicillin for you pronto.

[xXBADGERXx]

I have Amoxicillin , that will have to do

[xXBADGERXx]

Only 4 tabs of Amoxycillin downstairs , gonna have to sling the bike gear on and go to the quacks :( . I am so hungry as well

Honey ---- no, I don't love you but being a long term tonsilitis freak I always keep a jar of honey in the house.

If you are gargling soluble asprin/paracetomol the way to make them last (disgusting) is to spit the liquid back into the glass. That way rather than getting a brief respite every 4 hours you can get a good hour out of the (disgusting) method.

Alternatively, Dettol and a wire brush to ream the cr@p out of your throat - not one I've tried...

[xXBADGERXx]

I`ve been gargling every 2 hours with the Soluble Paracetomol . Just been on the phone for 23 minutes to get through to emergency line and they are getting a nurse to ring me back , feels like a bit of waste of NHS time but woman on phone said it was important to get it treated with antibiotics .

Ya big wuss Badger! My 7yr suffers with tonsilitis a fair bit but she doesn't whinge that much ;-)

I used to get it a lot as a kid but then had my tonsils taken out when I was about 8, although on a recent trip to the docs it was noticed that one of my tonsils was growing back!

[Amanda]

Ah! Get Well Soon Badger. I had mine out when I was 22 and my sister has only just had hers taken out and she's 39!!!

[xXBADGERXx]

Got appointment at Minor Injuries Unit in Llandudno Hospital at 11:10 . I am sweating profusely and sound like a smurf when I talk , just tried to put bike helmet on and the pain in my ears was astounding , gave the Badgeress a call and she is on her way now .

[xXBADGERXx]

Ya big wuss Badger! My 7yr suffers with tonsilitis a fair bit but she doesn't whinge that much ;-)

Yeah the HUGE difference here DD is , and I could place a huge bet here , she hasn`t got 3 crates of various Ales to get through , spirits , wine and more pringles , crisps and nuts and Christmassy nibbles to get through than I have

[aaron020873]

i feel for you pal!!!
i had septic quincy at xmas about 4 years ago couldn't eat or drink anything, ended up in hospital in the middle of the night and a doctor came and put a syringe with a big needle down my throat to drain the puss off!!!!! i have never had pain like it and i now panic every time i get a sore throat!!!!!

[Jayneflakes]

Heal soon Badger, hope the infection gets better really soon.

[Bibio]

[dawn07]

Wee pet. Get well soon:smt056

[xXBADGERXx]

Penicillin and Difflam spray has been prescribed , went to Asda and purchased loads of Soup and a big box of Asda soft scoop Ice Cream . The soft scoop stuff is whipped up with lots of air and is a bit easier on the old Tonsils . Thanks for the well wishes .

[davepreston]

[xXBADGERXx]

She'll be in big trouble if she has got 3 crates of beers, spirits, wine etc and she'll be in even more trouble for not sharing them with me!!!!



A good point you've made there though, must be torture seeing all the booze and food just sitting there waiting to be consumed ;)
