My boyfriend has flown over to Chilli, he has only been there 2 days but as soon as he got off the plane he was ill....ive just spoken to him and he said he can barely swallow and is having to spit out any saliva, his throat is so sore (it cant be his tonsils as he had the out) He said his neck is really hurting too, knowone speaks english over there and he is struggling to get any form of medicine...he has been bed ridden since he got there....anyone got any ideas what it could be?
sounds a bit like a quinsy.
i've had one and it is horrendous pain.
if he has difficulty swallowing his own saliva, then it may need lancing. Can he get some strong antibiotics?
I suppose there are lots of throat infections it could be, but just in case, he really should get to see the best doctor he can.
Thanks, will tell him....he said knowone speaks english and he is struggling to get help, ive told him to ring the emergency number on his travel insurance x
It sounds like he has strep throat or it could be something called thrushing. it happens in the throat. but in this case you said when he got off the plane he felt sick am also thinking food poisioning. A really bad one.
I'm in agreement with cathyhuns. I too have had my tonsils out but have still had tonsillitus since.... Not as often as when I did have tonsils though I might add....
