I found the disolvable paracetamol and codeine's worked a trat, plus eat wholemeal bread, it hurts but it helps scrap the stuff from the back of your throat.

Ibuprufen.

It'll hurt for a while, no choice. You could get a jab if you want to get over it quicker.

My doctor gave me a throat spray. It was really helpful, numbed the mouth and throat. Dissovable paracetamol is really good too.

So you have tonsilitus, I had this so much when I was younger, an average of once a month, and I was told if I had it again I'd have to have my tonsils out, I've been lucky as yet :biggrin:

. The best way to deal with it is to eat really cold foods, like ice cream, gargling and **** won't actually do anything as you don't have a sore throat, you have pus-filled tonsils [sorry for the mental image there.] and honey is good as well. The absolute best way is to stop thinking about it, and then you forget about the pain!!

You can get a similar spray from the pharmacist, it's called Difflam. Soluble paracetamol or aspirin (sipped nice and slowly so it doesn't all rush right past your tonsils) also helps.

I liked to eat crisps when I had tonsilitis, cause they itched so much. It did hurt, but it was so worth it in the end :biggrin:

Strepsils are also good ;yes;

Difflam, thats the name of it. Forget its avalible from pharmacist as I got mine free to take home when I was in hospital with Glandular fever. The spray nozzel looks scary at first but its alright really..used it for so long that I grew to love the taste.

Put the paracetemol tablets that dissolve in water (I know there's a word. I can't think of it) in a glass of water and gargle it. I swear by it.

I have tonsillitis/ flu atm and ASDA failed me, having let themselves sell out of the blessed drug :frown:

(WHY didn't I bring some with me to uni. I have everything. Everything. But the fizzy paracetamol)

Ah, tonsillitis, I remember it well. Had it every couple of months for 2 years. Even now the tonsils are prone to getting all achy and sore. I was supposed to get them out but wussed out. Try lemsip, it makes you feel better even if it has no physical effect :smile:
