Oh man, thanks for this. I've been somewhat regretting not kissing that girl for a while now. Nice to know it wouldn'ta been worth.
Good for you. My throat is swollen a bit more during this day. Swallowing is getting REALLY difficult. Liquids go, but macaroni not so well.

Have a 100'th heart. I'm ill and my throat hurts indeed. But it just sucks dick for you.
I got some kind of severe sore throat once. Hurt like bitch, but I managed to sleep for almost most of the time..
[QUOTE=Khaleet;20492573]Get some mashed taterz[/QUOTE] These ten minute soups are life savers. Easy and fast, but also delicious.
I've had this 3 times in the space of 7 months.
Experienced that kind of throat pain while I had flu, my tonsils inflated, and indeed it fucking hurts, it passed after 2 days for me though. Good luck dude :) Here,have a heart.
The doctor was dumb as she shouldn't say thing like "OMG DAT IS NASTY!!1!!1". And you are a bit dumb.Never ever drink cola while having sore throat.

Sorry to hear it bro.

Oh lord, still no change in my swollen tonsils. ಠ_ಠ Gotta go to the doctor again if they don't start changing soon. Though, good thing is that I got some actual sleep last night! My nose was clogged, so I had to breathe through my mouth and because of this I woke up every couple of hours, because my mouth was so FUCKING dry! Like someone had poured sand in there. Fucking sucks.
Patience. It'll go away when it's bored of annoying you.
Take meds. Painkillers ever three hours helps.
I had this like 3 years ago, I got a lump on the side of my neck the size of a baseball.
so hold on after you treat it, it still stays with you for the rest of your life but you don't get any more symtoms? and you can pass it on to anyone you kiss and they can't eat properly for a week? that would really suck. [editline]08:38PM[/editline] go kiss everyone who wrong'd you right away and put them through a world of pain.

It stays in your body and sometimes it blows out on you or infects someone else.
Donald Duck is an excellent choice, good luck with your curing process.
I'm allergic to Penicillin. How do you think I feel when I get sick like that? I can't take anything. I deal with the pain.
No wonder it hurt while drinking Coke, Coke has a PH of 2.

[QUOTE=Superstormj;20511317]I'm allergic to Penicillin. How do you think I feel when I get sick like that? I can't take anything. I deal with the pain.[/QUOTE] there's a whole loads of alternatives to penicillin. i have friends who are allergic to antibiotics of all sorts and they're fine.
It seems that lemon tea that has some honey mixed into it makes the pain much MUCH more tolerable.
I love not having any tonsils
-snip- I feel bad for the OP. Gave you free heart.
[QUOTE=Spartex;20517161]I love not having any tonsils[/QUOTE] Good thing the pain is starting to fade out. If it wouldn't I might have to get my tonsils clipped off.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;20473774]Imagine this; You wake up in the middle of the night, because your throat is sore. You think that it's nothing to be worried about and get back to sleep. A little later, you wake up yet again to that same pain in the back of your throat, but now even swallowing feels like someone's grinding your tonsils with sandpaper. You go to the bathroom and see what the fuck is going on down in throat. You turn on the lights and see your face on the mirror. You're shocked. Your neck has swollen like shit and it's sore to touch. You take a flaslight and use it to see down your throat. Your tonsils are swollen to double their normal size and they have some strange white shit on them. Swallowing hurts even worse than last time. Time to go to the doctor. That's pretty much what happened to me today. I was sleeping with my girlfriend and I had had this pain in my throat for a while. I thought it was normal, because I have random soreness in my throat from time to time, so I didn't panic. Only today the pain was excruciating and the fact that it happened early in the morning didn't really help the situation. I jumped off the bed in pain and zoomed right into the bathroom and took a glimpse down my throat. My right tonsil looked REALLY bad. Like it had a tumor or something. Part of it was dark brown and it had some white goo on it. Looked real nasty. Back to the tumor tonsil or whatever. It really spooked me, because my uncle had a tumor in his throat, but I don't think it was because of natural causes, more likely it was his alcohol abuse, but that's not relevant. So yeah, I pushed the tumor idea out of my mind and proceeded to get myself to a doctor ASAP. At 9:00AM I got my ass hauled to the doctors appointment. I hate it when I have to wait at an hospital, because the people they bring in while you wait are just outright horrible. They brought this one drunkard who had his nose busted open and as soon as the paramedics dropped him to the waiting room he started to act up. He peed his pants and after that he sat on random benches, leaving them all soaked in piss. Awesome, yes, I know. So at 'bout 9:25AM I got to see the doctor and told him about my [highlight]PAIN[/highlight] and after that she took a look down my throat and as soon as I opened my gutter she went; "Oh my, that's horrible". I wasn't too happy at that point. Then she felt my lympth nodes on my neck and went; "Oh my, that's not good". I wasn't too happy at that point either. Then she took a listen on my lungs and heart. This time the bitch kept her mouth shut. So she told me that I might have EBV, which stands for Epstein-barr virus, which is basically Infectious Mononucleosis. Easier name for it could be "kiss disease", because here in Finland it's know as "pusutauti", which roughly translated stands for "kiss disease". It's called that, because the virus is transferred from one person to another through saliva and what's a better way to transfer saliva to one person to another than kissing? So at 9:45AM I was sent to the lab for blood samples and a sample from my throat. I hadn't had blood taken out of me for years and it was rather refreshing to experience it again. The throat sample wasn't all that fun, because the bitch just stuck a Q-tip mercilessly down my throat. After that she told me that the blood samples would take two hours to complete. TWO FUCKING HOURS !?!? So I went to a store and bought myself a bottle of coke and couple of Donald Duck magazines. I went back and opened that coke bottle. Took a sip and I tell you, when I swallowed that shit it felt like someone just stuck a knife to my throat. My whole body cramped from the pain. My god, and it would be like this for the next two hours before I get my diagnose. Roughly an hour and a half pass by and I hear the doctor say my name. I'm in joy! So yeah, it was mononucleosis just as she thought and she slammed me a recipe for penicillin and told me to spend the next week at home. I went out of the hospital and into a pharmacy to get my penicillin. So now I'm here. In pain, but still alive. My throat is still swollen and hurting like a fuck, I can barely eat anything that's not in a liquid form and I can't do any excersices such as running or go to the gym, because my spleen might burst. It's gonna be an interesting week. I hope the worst pains go away after a few days of eating those penicillin tabs. [highlight]UPDATE[/highlight] Sleeping with this is a pain in the ass (or throat), because every time you're about to fall asleep you accidentally swallow and then it's the knife to the throat again. Also, you also get a runny nose from this shit and it's even harder to breathe that it was before. The most annoying thing after the swallowing is the fact that while you breathe through your nose, it pushes out this thick goo down your throat and it bubbles when you breathe. You can hear them pop. Fucking sucks. I didn't sleep too well, like you can imagine. Mostly in 30 min periods all night long. Listened to music and tried to forget the pain, but it was pretty much impossible. Walked around the house and drank like a hyperactive sponge and peed gallons. It's not fun really. I hope the meds do their trick soon and take the swelling down.[/QUOTE] Good god. Torture would be preferable to this.
I'll be praying for you tonight. Heartz. :]
