I used to get tonsilitis every 2 weeks
until they took my tonsils out at 19.

That well hurt.

Yeah. Used to get it loads when I was a kid.
I was gonna have my tonsils out, but we moved and by the time the operation was scheduled I rarely got it - so my parents figured I didn't need it. Haven't had tonsilitis since I was 15, till last year when I got it and now this year again. I realy fucking hope it isn't coming back :(

Do you get holes in your throat
with white things in them?

I should have put (!)

Yep.
Nasty white pustules all over my tonsils... Plus a weird furry yellow/grey coating on my tounge. Oh, and I now sound like a cross between dramatic voiceover guy and a dalek! Oh well - at least I get some time off work

Gargle with Stroh 80.
That'll sort it.

ugh that stuff is lethal
and tastes like paintstripper. The bar I used to work in sold it in little bottles and I wasn't supposed to sell more than one to each person.

I love the stuff.
Mix it thirds with captain morgan and sailor jerry. Over ice to kill some of the sweetness. Really hits the spot.

You have my sympathy

Thanks...
I'm sticking to lucozade and soup for now I reckon. Oh and tea. Though I'm contemplating the gargling with 80% proof rum thing.... Probably won't do any long term damage

Except it'll fry your vocal chords for a while.

Well that's ok
I'm trying not to use them too much at the moment anyway!
