I feel for anyone going through tonsillitis. Been dealing with it for 5 days and only slept like 4 hours a night. Drinking water is the most painful thing ever.

Says get plenty of rest, but I literally haven't slept in 2 days because my throat hurts so much.

This is very annoying...all my life I did the bare minimum when it came to oral hygiene...
But now that I am taking extra steps to keep my oral hygiene top-notch, this happens

[alexandrovalladaresfalcon]

Am praying I just have this and not something else because today is my 5 day

[فيصلالمبارك-شر]

Oh thank god, since 2 years i think it was the last time i felt this symptoms

This thing knocked me for 6 for an entire week! It was bad. Had abx prescribed.

Chills
Fevers
High temp
Constant headache
Swollen throat and tonsils
Drooling
Whole body was week
Barely walk and do much around the house in first 3-4 days when I had it.

My daughter had it for 2 years straight- Misdiagnosed how serious! Eventually she had tonsillectomy and adendectomy. She has had no issues with this. I hope to get an op one day to remove them.

Anyone else's throat red, as well? I sleep with my mouth open and for 3 weeks now, my throat has been dry and my throat is red and I have no other symptoms. It's hoarse, rough, dry feeling, and my throat is red. The house I live in has a fireplace and dehumidifiers are always being used because of the possible mold issues living here in rainy Washington State. Any thoughts on this?
