riane Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Poor you snowy...OH and youngest had this horrible bug last week and it knocked them out for 3 days. Both had terrible throats and red blotchy hot dry skin. Charlotte then started with earache so I took her to the doctor. She had an ear infection but he said the spots and throat were a virus.Hope you begin to feel a little bit stronger soon but don't try to do too much too soon.

MedusA Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I hope you're still on the mend Snowy. Take it easy and get plenty of rest. My daughter is feeling rough this morning, and she's got to go to Bristol tomorrow to sit an entrance exam for University. Eek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 No Feel absolutely lousy Still covered in spots, spiking a temp and feel like I'm swallowing razor blades. Got a doctors appointment in an hour, I think I need antib's for the throat. OH has now finished work for a couple of days so can relax a bit more. Poor 16 year old has started with a sore throat now though - really praying it does not affect him badly - he has his college interview on Wednesday! Have spent the last hour ringing round people to cancel all my groups and meetings this week and rearrange work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Poor you. Straight to bed when you get home from the docs. Easier said than done I know with little 'uns. I hope No 1 son will be OK for his interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsCube Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Snowy Iwell and truly sympthise with you, were all ill with nasty sore throats and coughs in this house too. To he point that poor Noah has got Croup from it. he hasnt eaten anything in a week now and has coughing fits that last for over 1/2 hour at a time and he ends up gagging. Poor mite he only had pneumonia a month ago. were desperatly hoping he doesnt end up in hospital again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Oh no Cat, that's awful, poor little mite Fortunately both my little boys seem to have recovered well from the lergy. GP thinks it is all viral so no antibiotics I was so hoping I needed them - then I could see it coming to an end! Now I just have to sit it out Trouble is if I have to cancel work, I don't get paid Oh well, they say it never rains but it pours ... Gotta keep laughing haven't you?

chickencam Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hope you feel better soon, at least you can have some company on here without worrying about spreading your lergy. I have had tonsilitis quite a few times in my life and you feel like death it is so much more than a sore throat, you have my sympathy (((hugs))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 My biggest problem has been eating and drinking - it is so painful and tea, milk or orange juice just seems to make the pain worse. And the water in Leicester tastes disgusting when you HAVE to drink it Eating anything is painful and then gives me indigestion and stomach ache. Just solved both problems - homemade chicken and sweetcorn soup! Real comfort food, I feel so much better for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Stay in bed Snowy, and definately get the doctor to come and see you on Monday. If you are feeling this bad, sitting in a waiting room isn't going to help i'm sorry to hear that you've been poorly & am glad that you are feeling a bit better, because you GP is unlikely visit you unless you had serious symptoms, keep taking it easy until you are properly better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Oh you poor thing Snowy (sorry, only just caught up on this) It's been going round here at work too - I've managed to escape it so far *touches wood quickly*, they have been very poorly and it sounds just like what you've got. I used to be really prone to strep throat and found Chloroseptic throat spray a real help, but you probably already know that. Take care Hon and keep snuggled up.

chickencam Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The last time I had tonsilitis I couldn't eat or drink either and I was really hungry which was very frustrating. Hope things are improving with the chicken soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Home made chicken soup is supposed to be a kind of Penicillin isn't it? Comfort food is the order of the day when you are poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Home made chicken soup is supposed to be a kind of Penicillin isn't it? Yes it is! All i can remember about being ill as a child is being given chicken soup, bread & butter with no crusts and watching Rainbow! Snowy get yourself a Rainbow DVD, soup & bread & butter and you will be on your feet in no time at all! Do look after yourself Snowy!
