Recently had another bout of tonsilitis some may remember...completed course of antibiotics...went on hols...now im back...been feeling sniffly and chesty...got much worse today even breathing in stings...i have a nasal spray from doc i use daily as he says my tonsils are large...when im breathing deep at night whilst asleep it gives me a sore throat in mornings....im wearing one of those breathe right strips tonight to help nasal breathing -hope it works.....

Ive gave up my job so hopefully things ease off....but i never feel 100% anymore and it gets me down...im always tired ...any ideas? Mabye its the holiday blues....but i just never feel bang on anymore....!!! Trying to eat better...considering a vitamin too x

Recurrent attacks of tonsillitis,nasal obstruction, not feeling well..tests for glandular fever all negative................you need to see an ENT surgeon.

Zinc is great for boosting the imune system

Tinks...if necessary ask to hold and rejoin your course with the group that follows yours....see the college counsellor about stress and your gp about the physical stuff... but I suspect getting your life under better control will help more than anything... just eat the most balanced diet you can... and if you feel you need a supplement after that a good multivits and minerals for a short burst of maybe 4 weeks might help but there's no real evidence but I'm guessing you are not very good at putting your needs first so start to be your own best friend
