My baby girl has tonsilitis really bad :(

[Shanti]

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?

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

[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.

My Dd has really just gotten over it now. She had it for a week and a half, and was living off basically nothing. She went on AB's that she was allergic to, so came out in a fully body rash and had to be taken off. The giveaway sign to remember is really rancid breath.
My little girl was just so sick, you could see the puss in her throat.

I hope your DD improves soon, but remember it does take a while. Just offer juice, even if it is something you wouldn't normally give. THey are more likely to drink it
