Why don't you get a proper diagnosis if you're always plagued with throat infections.

If you're having regular bouts of tonsillitis, the ENT specialist may ask you to get a tonsillectomy. Down time is only 2 weeks & you regular throat infectious will be a thing of the past.

Last time I also like you very frequent sore throat with swollen tonsils, then I resolve it by taking Vitamin D3, at least increase it to a level where these kind of frequent inflammation is non-existent.

Today, I couldn't take it anymore.

I sleep for 2 hours and woke up at 2pm to go to the A&E.

I guess the reason is because I only sleep 2 hours each days for the pass 3 days and woke up with pain in my throat.

So the doctor prescribe me with very strong painkiller.

I managed to sleep another 6 hours and all the symptoms nearly subsided.

Really hope you'll get to the root of your problem.

 

[twinbaby]

Hate this illness.

At least of I got fever I will recover in a day or two

Today I woke up with itching and pain on top of my throat.

This thing is like on and off it will keep coming back

 

[twinbaby]

The pain keep going on and off.
The area of pain varies near the tonsil area, back of throat.
It is much worst when I wake up but better of I consume cold water or warm water.

Did u gargle with salt water, apple cider vinegar to kill bacteria?

The lozenges i mentioned earlier is to eat daily for prevention.

 

[twinbaby]

Think it's not working.

I am starting my dose of amoxi as the doc see
Some white patches on my throat.

Will continue dose until I am cured.

 

[twinbaby]

Think I got strep throat*already. Since I don't have symptoms like cough and flu.
It is just swollen glands and pain.

 

[twinbaby]

Someone is right here. Sugar is an acidic food. Furthermore, bacteria tends to thrive in sugar food. Hence higher chance of strep throat

 

[twinbaby]

More or less the pain is gone already.
After consuming 3 days worth of antibiotics.

1. Eat ice cream can soothe the throat, however, ice cream it self is high in sugar and should be avoided.

2. Food that has citric acid should be avoided, however , lemon is high in citric acid itself and can help with sore throat

3 . Cold drink should be used to soothe the throat, however, cold drink itself can constrict the blood vessel.

I found out that after drinking sweet drinks like Vitagen or Yakult again. Could will start to set in again. These are best to avoid when I am sick.

 

[twinbaby]

I have recently switch from Vitagen to Probiotics supplement.
To avoid sugary food.

I have also used UMF lozenges to prevent sore throat.

honey with acv helps a lot

 

[twinbaby]

don't really like the taste of acv.
the purpose of honey lozenges is more of to prevent sore throat.
When I got sore throat, it is really bad already, I need diclofenac sodium.

Should I take up swimming if I am prone to flu and sore throat?

 

[bodymasterboy]

Should I take up swimming if I am prone to flu and sore throat?

it depends on the cleanliness of the pool, which is affected by factors like the maintenance schedule, how heavily used it is, whether users shower before getting into the water, swim in their regular clothes (with underwear even ) etc.

there are stories about swimming pools containing unhealthy levels of germs if you search for them, e.g:

http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/eyes-red-after-swimming-its-not-just-the-chlorine

why don't you avoid swimming for a few weeks, and see if that makes any difference to how frequently you get flu and sore throat?

 

[Swiftyz]

Sounds like some serious issues with your tonsils. Go read up more on tonsillitis and consider maybe getting a tonsillectomy?

Both illness were resolved at the same time, in my case.
