Think I have tonsillitis (touch wood)

[Sandy1710]

Pretty sure I have tonsillitis. I get it a lot. But today it has made me whole body ache. I’m talking throat and the rest of my body! Is this usual? I suppose it is flu like virus sort of thing

Oh Sandy so sorry to hear you are under the weather. Tonsillitis is nasty, it can make your whole body ache and just feel miserable due to the infection. Drinking lots of warm liquids and hot chicken soup can help in healing. Avoid any dairy products until your throat feels better. Take care of yourself and feel better real soon.

I used to get tonsillitis frequently. It can cause a fever and body aches. My doctor always told me to take antibiotics for it. They work very quickly - within about 12-24 hours. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to tell if it is tonsillitis or a viral sore throat. For that reason, best to see your doctor.

Had my tonisls removed as I always got tonsilitis/ sore throats too often and it hindered my life a bit also had sleep apnea tonsillectomy was 2 week healing process I was the 1% that had an issue during the 1st week of healing and had an artery tare and was bleeding profusely and lost a crap load of blood wasnt pretty but again im that 1% that wont win the lottery but will be first to have things like this happen hahaha i suggest you make sure you have a month off if you choose to get em out and also do not have dairy products! especiallyice cream as you create more pleghm and it sucks! Healing process as a 24 year okd was HORRIBLE and it gets worse as you get older lol thats why they dont really like doing it on adults unless necessary
