I think I have tonsilitis

Posted by Jen Sunday, January 15, 2006 9:00 PM
I searched on the internet for pictures of strep, thinking that was the cause of my malaise. I found something I feel is worse, tonsilitis. I am pretty sure that is what I have. I have had a fever, pain swallowing, exhaustion, trouble swallowing, pain in my ear, horrible breath and now- my throat is completely white. Completely. It is disgusting.
To the doctor I go tomorrow...I have never been to one in our almost 6 years of marriage (cept for my obgyn). I am nervous. I pray it is easily treatable. A Mom can't be sick. I just can't be.
Please pray this ends with me and no one else gets this. It is horrible. I wish it on no-one.

    My brother bill had this when he was about 1. Luckily no one else caught it. But he was in a lot of pain from it. The doc said to drink pinapple juice. Because it is good vitimins and it doesn't burn your throat like orange juice does. It does work. I don't remember if he had to go on any meds. or not. But hopefully you will have some relief soon! It's no fun.
