[lilposhgirl]

Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!!! Oh!! and more ice cream!!

Poor lilposhgirl, sorry you are having to go through this. RATTER is right, ice cream does help, as does sucking on a ice cube - but it isn't as nice hehe. You can also make yourself a cool compress by putting some ice cubes into a tea towel and wrapping it around your neck. Just make sure you don't get too cold though. Hope you feel better soon. :o)

The penicilin will work once it gets absorbed into your system, and it gets absorbed pretty quickly, give it a chanch,

the ice cream is good and the compress...but before you go to bed put a large tablespoonfull of honey in a cup, squeeze a whole lemon into it and top it up with boiling water, stir well and leave until it's drinkable, take it to bed with you and sip.....will ease the pain a little....Oh, and get someone to give you a hug xxx

Corvornia throat spray is very good when you have a soare throat.
Get better soon

Gargling with soluble aspirin is excellent for sore throats.Only to be used as long as you.re 16 or over! Not to be used if you,re asthmatic or have stomach ulcers. HOPE THIS HELPS!!

I always have a lemsip before I goto bed, and another when I wake up. Don't go to bed late and just take it easy. soluble Asprin does help too.

Penicillin didn't get rid of mine completely, it came back and then the doctor said that was the trouble with Penicillin, and gave me one of the other antibiotics! I used to suffer tonsilitis frequently so I really sympathise with you. I used to drink a lot and sleep!!! Eventually had them removed nearly 10 years ago now.

get better soon xxx

Actually ice cream probably not the best idea! Cutting out the dairy may help. In fact a common reason for recurrent tonsilits can be a dairy intolerance.
