My baby girl has tonsilitis really bad :(

[OceanPrincess]

Oh Shanti, your poor little DD... Its so hard when they are sick, isn't it?

DD has had a bad cough for week or two now... she coughs, then cries, says "Oww, mama!" and it breaks my heart because I can't help her.

You're onto it now... she will get better... be strong!

Big hugs for you and your dd. Nothing worse than tonsillitis. DD2 had it a little while back. She would fall asleep in my arms, didnt eat much at all. Thankfully the ab's help clear it up quickly.

Thanks girls. Yep she's on antibiotics, which I really don't like such young kids being on but I feel I don't have a choice as she's pretty crook .... she keeps falling asleep on me too, only good thing about it is I am getting lots of cuddles!!

[Shanti]

GP said her throat is pretty swollen, because of that I'm worried she's going to stop breathing or something! does that happen with it? Never heard of that happening?

[OceanPrincess]

Shanti I don't think so... I had tonsilitis really really badly a while ago, I was on daily penicillin jabs in the bum to try and control it, it was so swollen and sore that I had to dose myself with anaesthetic jelly just to try and eat/drink... but breathing wasn't an issue.

Thank you. Geez you must have been crook with it! I had it a few weeks ago and it was horrific!

Well fortunately (or not? LOL... ) it was a side-infection to glandular fever... so I was so out of it with glandular that I didn't notice it too much... I also had liver issues and sinusitis so I was a right mess!

The pharmacist that I was buying the jelly stuff off took pity on me after a while and started charging me the wholesale price for the stuff because I was going through so much of it and it retailed at about $120 a jar...

Woe was me!!!

Awww, the wee darlin', I used to get tonsilitis really bad when i was younger all the time, it was awful! I would have marathon sleep sessions to get over it!!

Big hugs coming her way xxxxxx

[boomba]

Oh hun Ds1 has just gotten over this its awful hey! Hope she is better soon xxxx

[Ozstar]

Oh I hope she feels better soon, DD had tonsilitis just last week, thankfully the AB's kicked in quickly and she wasn't unwell for long.
