NearOn Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 ****Man Moan Alert****So who's had it? I am 31 and never before have had it, well as far as I can remember. My parents always said I had them out as a young child but turns out they got me confused with my brother!So since Tuesday I have not been able to eat anything and incredibly difficult to even manage water. Been on antibiotics since yesterday and waiting for them to kick in. The only thing keeping me going is thinking what I am going to feast on when its gone for the lack of food this week.Also when I have heard people say "its like swallowing glass" in the past I thought yeah right cant be that bad..................IT IS!!!Anyway I know far worse off people in the world but needed a moan.Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yep, had it in my early teens - every couple of weeks. I had 'em whipped out in the end.It was a shit and I feel your pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Jack Daniels is the cure! Get a bottle and drink it neat. Thats how I dealt with it last time I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I had it a few times in one year a couple of years ago. When it got to the stage that they were so large that I was struggling to swallow they whipped them out. Then it was a case of lots of toast and hard cereals to keep the scabs off my throat while they healed. None of this bloody jelly and ice cream like the old days.It's not nice for a couple of weeks. But I'm glad it's been done now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey1984 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah i hate tonsilitis, get it at least once every two years, knocks me completely out for a week then im golden. Usually have the hot and cold sweats and generally sleep a lot. You'll be alright in a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Covonia tablets helps me. Usually after 2-3 days if it's still bad go docs and get anti biotics it goes down within a day. At one point i couldn't talk it was so bad! f**king sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spykeeboi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I had to have mine out after one bout of it landed me in Poole hospital for 3 days while on a roofing course in Bournemouth. it turned into quinces it closed my throat up to about 1cm gap so much so the paramedic who took one look at it drove on blues and twos at 11pm transferring me from Bournemouth royal to Poole as they have no ENT deptand kept me waiting 7 hours in reception.So just beware it could turn to that so don't ignore it especially in adultsGaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 you have my sympathies, I was plagued by them in childhood.In my late 30's the quack said very unlikely to get it anymore, well i had it 2 months ago in my 40's.Took 3 weeks to properly shift.

klingelton Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I had it when I was 22, then again a few years ago. Bedridden - indescribably painful. unable to lift head off the pillow! I was able to eat, but then the docs did say it was only a mild case. The headache for 3 days was like nothing i've ever experienced.

Cpt_Tact Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I get it a couple of times a year and the only think I found works is gargling strong mouth wash 3 times a day and popping cocodamol to take the edge off. I was always lead to believe it's viral so antibiotics wouldn't help but I'm not a doctor so probably wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearOn Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 The antibiotics were the only thing that helped me, but took till day 5 of them to really notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
