Title: tonsilitis Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:10:33 anyone had it?
my throat is red raw. its painful to swallow, as though i'm swallowing a table tenis ball with small spikes on perhaps. but i've taken some strong painkillers and it seems to be a bit better so i might have a smoke :? Title: tonsilitis Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:19:07 try taking some ibuprofen as well, it's an anti-inflammatory so should help a bit.
Title: tonsilitis Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:21:42 my mate gave me 3 boxes of painkillers to chose from;
co-codamol 500mg nurofen 200mg ibprofen 200mg the last 2 are the same but i plumped for the stronger co-codamol. it says on the packet not to take with any other paracetamol-containing medication, should i just leave the ibprofen mr pharmacist?

Title: tonsilitis Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:27:13 ibuprofen doesn't contain paracetemol so you can take both together. co-codamol is paracetemol 500mg and codeine 8mg, it's marginally stronger than normal paracetemol but it never makes much difference to me.
take 2x co-codamol then after two hours take 2x nurofen/ibuprofen, then after another two hours take 2x co-codamol then 2x nurofen, etc etc etc. the paracetemol is a stronger painkiller but ibuprofen will help with the inflamed tonsils and whatnot. Title: tonsilitis Post by: adam192 on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:37:05 Anitbiotics are the best thing to take to get rid of that mate, I tried taking painkillers for four days but they did fuck all. After 24 hours of anitibiotics it was gone and I still managed to make poxford away!
Title: tonsilitis Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:40:16 i'm just taking all this stuff until i can get to the doctor's on monday and he can dose me up with antibiotics.
cheers sonic, i'll pop a couple of ibuprofen soon. is smoking probably a bad idea? Title: tonsilitis Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 13:58:53 probably yeah.
Title: tonsilitis Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 14:03:30 i'll eat some bacon instead then
Title: tonsilitis Post by: blinkpip on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 14:04:07 I had it the other week. No way I could go to work, couldn't eat anything for ages.
It's even worst when you got the flu with it. like sonic said ibuprofen works a littie bit, but eating is a bastard still. Title: tonsilitis Post by: Sussex on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 14:13:16 Soup and ice cream to keep your strength up, vodka to numb the pain and a wank to take your mind off it.
Hope this helps OF :D :wink: Title: tonsilitis Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, May 8, 2005, 14:22:04 only one of those 4 accomplished so far, and it was the easiest one.
