First off, happy belated birthday to my dear bf. It was on Saturday the 22nd – and made for a 2nd, then a 3rd day of alcohol consumption – leading to an extra 2 days of hyjinks and debauchery. Which is why it took me so long to update.
And now, I have a horrible horrible throat injury. It’s been a bit sore off and on for a week or so, and for the past couple of days, despite rapid hydration and a lot of throat spray, it’s painful. And no, my drunken escapades did not involve much screaming (well, less screaming than last time, and I didn’t injure my throat then).
And not just hurting in that scratchy “it got really dry from too much talking and shouting” way, it hurts in the uncomfortable “something is stabbing into the back of my tongue/throat” way.
I get tonsil stones every now and again, and this feels like that, except on the wrong side, and with a grand accompaniment of PAIN.
If it’s not gone in another few days, I’ll go to the real doctor – but in the meantime, does anyone wanna entertain me by self (or in this case internet)- diagnosing?
Strep’s going around big time right now. My friend just had it, and the antibiotics helped right away. Head into a walk-in and get it checked — You’ll save yourself a world of pain! 🙂
your tonsil stones hurt? er, i guess mine do, too, now that i think about it. in a scratchy throat kind of way, though. like i need to clear my throat.
pain in the throat is almost always a virus or bacteria. gargle with salt, keep hydrated, and see a doc if you develop a fever. *hug*
Could be strep throat or another bacterial or viral infection. Your immune system is negatively affected by drinking binges, and may have let its guard down.
Sorry to hear you’re feeling crappy…but very happy you emailed the F&S pics! *lol* Especially since I just had a 7-hour psuedo “date” with the M-man! *hee hee*
