Hi, I have been depressed, since my ENT specialist informed me tonsillitis and nothing to worry, In addition, he has prescribed medicines and i am in medication more than a month. It seems to be settled, but sometimes in the morning after wake up from bed, while brushing or strain more to split cold due to itching, since my throats are dry in the morning. Thick blood dots coming along with cold. I am continuing my medicines as adviced by my ENT specialist. Two more weeks tablets are pending. What should i do now? Kindly advice to get rid of this.

    Are u depressed cos of throat pain? Or fear of it being something worse?

    I got very down due to pain. The ENT are quite dismissive re pain.

    My GP. My own doctor was empathetic and prescribed penicillin and said go back to ENT and discuss removal of lingual tonsils.

    What is the medication u are taking now for?

    Keep us informed how you are going.

    Kerp fluids up -

    Ice cream or . Icey ooles (we call them in Australia)

    Gargle salt and water. Lots

    There is a thing for dry mouth here calked bioteen? Gargle and spit ir a tooth paste

    Lozenges

    Throat spray?

    Salty pop corn if u can swallow

    Tell your local doctor u feel depressed. And talk about it

    Do u feel unwell ?

    What are happt things in your kids life?

    My animals, books, movies. Rest

    Well, it's been already 5 weeks I 've got that throat problems. Nothing works and my doctor gave 2 different antibiotics. Not so much sore more like very inflamed, feels like a lump inside but no lumpd otside I can feel , slightly in larged muscles on the right side neck- sholder. Need warm drink all the time and get very dry at night and out side. Fed up! Will ask to see a specialist.

    I don't know what it is. Very up set me.

    i did 14 weeks approx each time. 

    ?i had different opinions and antibiotics which were not the right one

    ?yes see specialist. but if you want to talk about depression you prob need to talk to a doctor who knows u well.

    ?my lingual tonsils are still swollen but they are not painful as they were . 

    ?only last few years has this been taken seriously.- as they could not see anything.

    ?only through the endoscope can they see the cells.

    but penicillan seemed to make a difference. i had 10 days. of strong ones.

    but i had anotehr 10 days on stand by.

    ?ok  . i see where you mean.  have you been coughing ? you can rick your kneck .?           

    ?its getting closer to your appt.. are you working > or able to rest and be kind to yourself. ?
