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 :?

try taking some ibuprofen as well, it's an anti-inflammatory so should help a bit.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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   |
