Anyone had it?

Ive self diagnosed myself aswell as using nhs direct and it sounds like i have it

Any tips on how to get rid of the pain?

I pray i never get it again... i couldnt speak 4 2 days (maybe thats a good thing )

Simbo

Iv had it a few times, go to the doc and get antibiotics

Dangerous Malcolm..

I had it a couple of years ago. Hurt like hell for a week and then took another week to finally go completely.

Ice cream soothes it......

go to chemist and get some throat spray! its about 5 quid but it works a treat!!!! and if you spray it properly you shouldn't taste it so don't moan about the taste either!

Jemma

Ah youve just reminded me Danielle.. my sis had some of the doctor when she had it.
I used it when i had my tounge done.. I quite liked the taste

Danielle

most people hate the taste, i dont mind it but it really does work

Growler

Wire Brush and Dettol will fix it

either that or get something hot and creamy down yur neck too soothe the surface

hehe gotta get a reference to sex in somewhere

Jemma

Growler Was waiting for someone to say that

But ive just nearly cried out at the thought of wire brush n dettol

If you gargle soluble paracetamol it helps abit. Nothing will work as good as antibiotics though, so get yourself to the doctors and get some. My sister had it a few weeks ago and she was really bad with it, she is still not 100% but the antibiotics take away the infection.

She was told to take paracetamol and ibubrofen every 4 hours. The ibuprofen helps with the swelling and the paracetamol helps with the temperature. She tried the sprays and stuff but they didn't really help her, she had it really bad though she had green and yellow stuff on her tonsils!!

is a quote from an old joke

maybe one day i will type it all out for the board

Jemma

Plus it would take me about 2 hours to drink 1 drink

originalcabbie

Jemma

Aaaaaahhhhhh you poor cow. Really feeling for you hun. Me and BillyCabrio am prone to it and suffer really badly.

We live on Asprin which takes the pain away and keeps ya tempreature down. Lots of soup, you have to keep eating and toast, yes it hurts but it's the roughness.

And loads of sleep cause it's gunna wear ou out!!!!

Jemma

*Anna* Cheers hun, I'll try that

I dont think giving birth was as painful as this

M.A.D.RST

Arghh i hate it, i used to always get it and it kills. Best thing i found was down to the doctors for some anti biotics, cleared it straight up
Failing that.........................where do you live

Jemma

M.A.D.RST Ow!! I just laughed an it feels like someone has just gone up my throat with a razor
