No.
I couldn't talk for about 24hours and I had a sore throat for maybe a week but had 2 off school. I'm pretty sure it was far less that the suffering you are going through now though.

I can't talk much at the moment
partly cos it hurts and partly cos my larynx has swollen as a side-effect of the penicillin. the ratbag keeps asking me to read her stories and stuff :(

I might ask about it on Friday if things aren't improving
