The last two days have been pretty rough.
A horrible sored throat that made me feel my left ear was about to explode has kept me down. To make matters worst the cheapest antibiotics I could find, a generic one, was also of the old-fashioned kind. It had been a while since I last saw these pills come in glass container. Also, it had been a while since I last saw pills so freaking big. Not the best choice when your throat is swollen and hypersensitive.
I had a series of tests done early today and then I went to the ENT doctor. I was anticipating something really bad because I had never felt a pain so brutal and intrusive. Every time I had to swallow, even water, a sharp pain would radiate to my left ear and the back of my neck. Migraines hit hard yesterday evening and I had not slept at all.
Ironically, the doctor did not find anything particularly alarming. Lab results were normal and the larynx was the only thing that looked irregularly swollen, but improving.
It was good to hear that, but also disconcerting. I have to take antibiotics for a few more days and the doctor prescribed a shot to help accelerate the healing of the throat.
I have already missed the first week of classes. Hopefully, I'll be able to start next week.
Thanks for stopping by
I hope your throat and ear heal quickly. Sending healing thoughts!
Ironically, there was nothing wrong with the ear. The pain I felt there was apparently just an echo of the inflamation of the throat. Last nigt I could sleep without pain for the first time in 6 days. That was quite a relief.
Best regardsThanks a lot, @kenny-crane
So happy to hear you had a pain-free night! Wishing you continued relief and healing!
I hope you get well soon. I got those symptoms about 12 years ago, the doctor told me it was rhinopharyngitis. I got it from fixing the files at my work place. I remember eleven days of bed rest, lots of warm fluids, soups and antibiotics, as well as allergy medicine. You will get through this for sure, take care of yourself!
Same diagnosis (or my version of the virus). Same prescription. I'm feeling much better today. Working on some drawing to post later and trying to catch up with pending work.Thanks, @nbarrios67

If this has been the virus it was about time. Hard to avoid it in a place like this.

De verdad hermano deseo que te mejores. Otra vez, gracias por tus útiles recomendaciones en mi post, lo remendé desde mis limitadas posibilidades. Con respecto a el antibiótico, el mejor que hay en el mundo es el orégano. No es cuento, yo llevo años tomándolo y es milagroso. Cómo con todo antibiótico no hay que abusar de él. Un abrazo virtual.
Supieras que suelo tomar oregano (del orejón) para otro mal que tengo que son los cálculos renales. Por suerte, ahora son episodios ocasionales cada uno o dos años. El oregano del que hablas es ese de hojas grandes o el de hojitas para sasonar?
Estaré pendiente para la próximaGracias, @leninbracho50
Saludos, es el de hojas grandes (Orejón) Hermano para los dolores de garganta y las vías respiratorias es un tiro. Yo tengo años sin tomar antibiótico comerciales.
