1. Ouch!
I had tonsillitis as an adult. It's no fun at all.

I'm so sorry!

You say the sweetest things! :hug::loveya:



I know ice cream feels good going down but it always made my throat hurt worse later ...
maybe you'll want some nice hot tea.

22. Yeah I know.
If I remember correctly though (and I hope that I do), if treated properly, they don't last very long.

5. The doctor thought I might have strep.
But that test was negative. :)

The doctor asked if I'd been around sick people. Well, there was that little matter of 8 hours in an ER last week. ;)

11. I still have mine
The only time I had tonsillitis was in the summer of '75 when visiting my grandparents here in San Diego. It was awful.

The antibiotics did the job, and never had any trouble since. Never had strep throat once either.

9. I thought I was getting the flu.
But the fact that swallowing is WORK convinced me to see the doctor. The swab he used to test for strep sure was attractive. x( Hopefully the amoxicilin will kick this thing's ass soon.

6. Our cat gets that when it's been feeding off of our Christmas tree.
But we call it "tinselitis".

Hope you feel better soon, D.

27. Bummer. I had my tonsils taken out a 28 years old. Not fun.
But you might want to consider it if this happens to you a lot.

Hope you feel better fast! :hug:

I'm just getting over an ear infection. My ears still hurt... I guess I'd better call the doc and see if he wants to try another antibiotic. *sigh*
