    so I havent slept in the last two nights, each night is
    a cycle of sweating then whole body shivers.
    so I decided I would take today off work to catch up on
    some rest but my throat has really started to hurt.
    quick trip to the doc's and he confirmed that I have tonsillitis.
    so now i'm on the antibiotics but I am so damn hungry but
    my throat is too sore to swallow.so I think a night of icecream
    and movies might make me feel a bit better...until then its
    more salt water drinks [​IMG]

    anyone have any other cures to help relieve the symptoms?

    Aspirin is brilliant for sore throats.

    But I might have a go at Barney's idea. I'm not ill but an ounce of prevention...

    I was thinking would alcohol kill the infection
    but then with the antibiotics maybe its not a good idea

    The alcohol would just kill the effects of the antibiotics and prolong the whole, tedious process. Chances are there's not enough free alcohol in drinking booze to kill it anyway.


    Hmmmmmm, chicken soup.....

    Try having a swig of TCP .It won't cure you but it might tone the breath down a tad!

    I get really sore throats warm water helps drinking it relaxes throat muscles .gargle dissolvable aspirin and keep on the antibiotics I have had it that bad I didn't eat for a week I couldn't swallow feel for you get well soon I now know a few days before if I'm getting summat so start on the strepsils (prescription ones ) to try and stop it before it starts I was told when I was younger my tonsils were that scared and pitted they couldn't be removed cracking ha ha

    Yes.....:) plus i know how to give proper sympathy..... its not just a sore throat,the crap that comes out of your tonsils poisons your system and makes you feel very poorly.. So be nice fella`s... :)

    An ex-girlfriend had Tonsillitis once, she found a good squirt of 'Man Fat' down her throat worked wonders! :D

    Might be worth a try? :confused:

    I'm not offering by the way! :eek:

    ......................not unless Ash gets another attack! :p
