windcatcher 0 #1 March 15, 2005 what is it? I think I may have it. I can't get to see the doctor for antibotics till next week ...will I be okay? I'm a pretty tough girl, I normally don't see a doctor for much, but looking at the inside of my throat......I think a visit is appropriate. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

soulshine 0 #2 March 15, 2005 Ha, it is karma coming back at you. The smiley balloon will have its revenge! Seriously, no I haven't had it before. If you cannot get to the doc for a while then make sure to gargle with salty warm water. Also, you could just call him and describe your symptoms and he should be able to reccommend some otc products to relieve some of the discomfort.

Frenchy68 0 #4 March 15, 2005 The best cure there is for tonsilitis: Boil water. Pour the water on your bed. Roll into your bed back and forth, 6 times, saying "Grmpfzxpoufpouf!". Then clip your toe nails, starting with the left foot. You should see improvements within 3 weeks. I'm glad I could be helpful...

freefalle 0 #7 March 15, 2005 see my PM, why cant you get in before next week? Theres a good chance you have strep, waiting that long will just make it worse. Try calling your MD again and see if they can squeeze you in If your MD wont/cant see you, go to a quick care or go to the E.R. Dont piss off your immune system, it has a bad sense of humor.

windcatcher 0 #8 March 15, 2005 I would, I can't afford antibotics, unless my health insurance through the college can pay for it. I'll be fine Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #11 March 15, 2005 Yup, it sucks. I got it two to three times a year til they yanked the damn things out! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #12 March 15, 2005 you shouldn't wait a week. If it is really tonsilitis you can look in your throat witha flashlight and see lits of white swelling. When I had it I couldn't eat any solid foods, and barely could eat stuff like pudding or jello. waiting a week the swelling will get worse. Go to the school health center. They can't deny you an appointment if you show up sick. They also may be able to give yo a sample antibiotic or something. School doctors are usually good about htat stuff.

Dumpster 0 #14 March 15, 2005 I used to get it all the time as a kid - I was 8 when the doc clipped 'em out. Hurt like hell but it was a good excuse to miss a week or so of school. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegegirl 2 #15 March 15, 2005 I used to get it all the time! It actually landed my ass in the ER a few times. Be careful. You have to stay hydrated or it's pretty much an automatic trip to the hospital. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't want to spread funky stuff to your guy. Sure you do. Go for it and enjoy. If you're really good then maybe you can render him speechless and in pain for a week or more even. Also, everyone knows that women's immune systems are stronger then men's. One of the things our gender does indeed have over them! He's sure to get it probably at least 10X worse than you. (Especially if you happen to be a school teacher or student at the time.) Also, men are so unobservant that he probably won't even notice how terribly sick you really are.

Ive had tonsilitis mannny times and it sucks and only gets worse without meds. Also if they swell enough they will actually come close or actually touch which can affect your breathing...not fun to experience at 3am! Trust me!

Ended up in the hospital with that, an extremely high fever, and a really nasty inner ear infection that came from ignoring the tonsillitis. I wouldn't wait too long before seeking treatment.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tigra 0 #21 March 15, 2005 Tonsilitis is just the symptom- red swollen tonsils resulting in a sore throat. Could be strep or some other infection. Strep's pretty bad and will make you fell pretty darn miserable but only a throat culture will say for sure if its strep or something else. If you've got a fever and swollen glands to go along with the sore throat, you should definitely see a doctor asap! The white stuff is a pretty good indication of strep, esp if you've got a fever and swollen glands. Other possibilites are mono or pharyngitis (sp)- also not fun.
