judecorpI'm having a major tonsil issue right now, and it sucks.
Of course it happened when it did because it was a holiday weekend and I would have to just suffer through it. I ate no Easter dinner and slept on my grandparents' guest bed the whole time because I was so miserable. It is likely my grandfather's last family holiday and even though I was there, I missed it.
I went to my PCP this afternoon and of course I have no strep, and she gave me antibiotics. I usually take clindamycin for my tonsil issue but it is hardcore and she always tries to talk me out of it and take something less "big." Today she was really pushing the azithromycin which hasn't really worked for me in the past, but I just wasn't up to arguing.
I took my two pills this afternoon and I am just so swollen and in so much pain. It's making my teeth hurt and my ear hurt and it's just awful. I have a really high pain tolerance and am alternating tylenol and ibuprofen on this one (which I have never done). I took tylenol at 4, ibuprofen at 6 (max doses on each) and I am just sitting here begging for 10pm to come so I can take more tylenol and hopefully get a little let-up.
It is now getting so swollen that it's making me cough because my body thinks there's something stuck in my throat. I don't even know what to do. It's misery.
We have vicodin in the house which I would consider taking if 1) it didn't make me puke and 2) I didn't have to take a drug test for my new job on Wednesday. Oof.
