After hours dr or wait???

BS sounds awful. Last time I had a nasty throat I got a lot of relief with hot/warm water with some manuka honey stirred through - small sips only & leave out the lemon (that's some nasty form of torture invented by people who have never known a "real" sore throat). It seemed to help soothe that swollen feeling.

When I had tonsillitis really bad and I couldn't swallow as they were touching, they gave me a type of steroid to relieve the swelling. It took less than 24 hrs for them do go down and I could finally get some fluid in. Just in time that I didn't need to go to hosp.
They don't usually prescribe it, only for severe cases.

I really hope the new AB's start clearing it up!

I can completely vouch for honey for pain relief too. Even DD1 asks for it now. Tonsils can grow back but I wouldn't have thought it would be so severe. Hope you feel better soon.
