It's not itchy the pain has me in tears feel my neck has swollen more too now my ears hurt but I just can't walk with dizziness

Within 24hrs of taking antibiotics I could feel the reduction of swelling. If you think they are more swollen, get checked out again.
So sorry for you. It’s so miserable.

Edited to add: could it be your glands that are more swollen now? Shine your iPhone torch on to your tonsils and have a good look. Then you’ll be able to monitor if they are getting worse or better.

Oh bless you.
Get your other half to go to Walgreens and stock up on throat spray and plenty of water. Maybe Gatorade will help keep you hydrated?
And just rest. So sorry nothing worse than being so ill on holiday.
Hopefully the anti bs will kick in and you can start enjoying the rest of your holiday. Xxxxx

My daughter glands were really swollen, she felt like her throat had closed up. We also bought cloraseptic and losenges. I would go to walgreens and see what they have. If youre in a hotel the hotel shop may have something.

Went to Walgreen no pharmacist onsite so just bought cloraseptic and lozenges and also some strong tablets not sure what they are but will give anything a go x

Sometimes if I'm feeling brave I eat crisps to try and scratch it out as such - that's just me though, the other suggestions are pretty standard.


eta - you can buy vicks chloroseptic and a couple of others from CVS.

^^... all good advice... all of this helped me in the last couple of weeks with tonsillitis , I also found hot water with some honey and lemon helped the pain... it will pass soon, hopefully real soon

I had tonsillitis when I was out there in August ended up getting antibiotics, one thing I was told (that I never even thought off!) was after 24 hours on antibiotics change your toothbrush, as the toothbrush can reinfect you x Hope you feel better soon x

[archibald]

Hi, are you feeling any better?

[Infinity Red]

I hope your meds are kicking in, I didn't realise tonsillitus was so bad! It sounds like hell you poor thing, hope you feel better asap.
