Unless you're incapable of moving
or swallowing at all, you almost certainly don't.

Are you CRAZY?
She could get scarlet fever, and DIE.

No she she doesn't
She needs a strepsil and a dose of MTFU, what a waste of a doctor's time.

i probably need penicillin
i get tonsillitis about once a year and i know what it is by now.

but my doctor is in cheshire, so any trip to the doctor means A&E which is a nightmare. inevitably, i will end up putting up with this for 2 weeks and then finally giving in and going to A&E one evening.

why not get it over with now?
I get strep really bad every year and always need antibiotics, last time was the first time the gave me penicillin, because they said I could have mono wtf.
You should ask for amoxicillin, penicillin is dreadful stuff.
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 12 May 2011, 15:11, Reply)

because amoxicillin is contra-indicated with mono
mono is viral, so antibiotics are cock all use against it, but sometimes if you have a strep infection simulataneously you need antibiotics, but amoxicillin will cause a reaction in that case. Penicillin won't.

There's nothing wrong with penicillin unless you are allergic to it. Why is it dreadful?

We went through this with Abberacion
you can go and see any doctor at all. Unless of course you have a private doctor, which wouldn't surprise me.

this is a good point actually.
I have never seen my doctor because he's always so fucking busy. I've got an appointment with him next Friday that I had to make 3 weeks ago.

i have private healthcare
but you still need a GP referral. and i do not need a private doctor for a 2 week prescription of penicillin!

i don't want to change my doctor, i've had the same one since i was 7, and i like him!

*private healthcare fives*
seriously though, you don't live there, you shouldn't have a doctor there, regardless of how much you like him. If you can never see the cunt when you need to then what is the point?

You aren't actually allowed to be registered where you don't live
which will probably cause you problems in the long run. If anyone actually ever combines databases.

how do you know it's bacterial?
Symptoms are the same for bacterial and viral throat infections and all penicillin will do for you for a viral infection is make you more susceptible and more likely to be iller the next time you do get a bacterial infection

technical answer is technical
and makes me feel worse. i just want some tablets to make it stop.

and some ice cream. lots and lots of ice cream. take out all the calories first though.

NSAIDs and man the fuck up.
Sorry, but that's the medical solution in 99% of sore throats, be it tonsillitis or laryngitis. Sometimes there is a bacterial cause, sure, but mostly not. In any case unless you're running a brutal fever it's not really important. Most doctors just prescribe antibiotics because the public are whining children at heart. It goes away anyway, public thing the abs have worked. except then they whine about how all the hospitals have C.diff and MRSA problems. Which are caused almost entirely by the whining public costantly taking antibiotics when they don't need to.

I got antibiotics when I'd had a nasty inficetion in my gum
and then developed tonsilitis and after two weeks of not being able to swallow I went to see the Doctor.

They didn't work. I was ill for another week and a half.

that doesn't fix it NOW though
i am not good at being ill, i am far too healthy normally. and impatient.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 12 May 2011, 15:47, Reply)

Nothing will fix it NOW though will it.
