mader656 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Tuesday morning I felt off sore throat. Went home early slept 24 out of next 27 hours still sick today I went to urgent care. I was right had to pay doctor to tell me what I already knew. Tonsilitus got some antibiotics today should have went last week...on the way home the ibuprofen wore off I thought I was going to have to pull into the local er by the time I was home. They also gave me "magic mouthwash" lidocaine gel for mouth pain nasty stuff that don't work. Looks nasty and tastes worse. If anyone has had it you know what it looks like. Hopefully on the mend now. I'm not 20 anymore and bounce back as fast apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawleigh99 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I still have my tonsils and have had strep a few times. Is that what you are referring to? I had it bad enough once that I would swallow the ulva (sp?) In the back of my throat. Not fun! Do have me antibiotics and said ice cold beer helped! Of course that was about 40 years ago and I was headed to Spring Break in Florida!

Rawleigh99 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 The good news, if I remember correctly, is that the antibiotics work on it pretty fast. It is pure misery until then though. Hope you feel better Mader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH Forever Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I haven't had it as often lately, but used to get that about once a year. It is very painful, but at least once you get antibiotics it always goes away quickly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
