I’ve got a little one in nursery which means a winter of colds colds colds. I’ve had a monster cold, sore throat, cough sore ear over Xmas and new yr. that went a couple of weeks ago and I got out on my bike for an hour and came back in freezing and woke up with a swollen neck and throut with a fever etc for good measure. Went to docs, antibios, couple of days later felt like I was getting better, by the following sat (1 week) I felt good. Been working from home and had the odd day off when I was proper rough.
Back in work last Monday I felt good. By the end of the day my throat was bad again and I’ve had a week of swollen neck, sore throat, swollen throat, sore ear etc. It’s like there’s something tying my tongue to the roof or side of my mouth and my tongues painful and all swollen as well.
Went to the doc again, missus sent me, he says viral sore throat, it’ll get better. Your immune systems doing the right thing and fighting it. All good, gargle with aspirin.
Thing is, I can’t sleep as my throats painful, can hardly speak, and eating is extremely difficult. Been surviving on milkshake, hot Ribena and taking an hour to eat a kids portion of something sloppy.
I guess I gotta go back to the docs. Any ideas?
