Tonsillitis - Page 2

Aw bubs! Hot toddys! If it doesn't ease it, it will make you snooze through it

Hot toddys are my ailment to every bodily issue.

TCP in water might be a bit more palatable to gargle than salt water.

I don't get tonsilitis any more because I had them taken out.

Turns out it's a little worse than expected. I will have a fever for a few days more, and I've been banned from playing rugby for 1 month minimum, with a warning that I could be fatigued for 3 months. Woop.

I've had a bit of success with antiseptic mouthwash.

It doesn't really soothe the pain or anything but they don't flare up quite as often as they used to.

Get well soon, Chap.

Frijj milkshake.
Failing that, hot curry. Sounds mad, but works once the initial, searing, throat-ripping pain dies down.

I'm thankful I don't have mine anymore I used to get so ill with them when I was a child

I went deaf so went to the dr thinking ear infection/serious wax problem; got told I had tonsillitis and my tonsils and glands were so swollen they were pushing my ear canals closed - as I didn't have a sore throat or feel ill any other way it was quite surprising.

Hope you feel better soon
