5 weeks viral tonsillitis!
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi I have had tonsillitis for about 5 weeks now. I’ve done 4 rounds of all different kinds of antibiotics and nothing kills it. The first week I had little white dots everywhere then the second week they seemed to disappear, the 3rd week they came back and slowly got worse. By the 4th week it was unbearable. I had to go to emergency because they were so swollen, got put on an IV with steroids and pain killers. I was later released and saw a infectious disease doctor the next day. All results came back negative for any bacterial infection. He basically said gargle salt and it will clear up. Well I got home that afternoon and by 10pm that night my right tonsil was so swollen it was almost blocking my airway, my tongue, gums and cheek were also extremely swollen just on the right side. I went back to emergency and once again steroids and IV. It’s been 3 days since and I have no more hope! I’ve lost 8 kilos this month and have no appetite, I can’t even swollow my own saliva! Also getting very depressed. I’ve never had a fever either. I’m seeing an ENT doctor in a few days but it’s not getting better. Anyone help please?!
