Hi, I've got infected glands and tonsilitis (I look like a bullfrog :p), does anyone have any ideas to stop my neck from aching, or just my glands? I've been prescribed pennicilin V and am taking ibuprofen for the pain, neither of these seem to be giving me any relief. I constantly feel tired too, I'm 16, any suggestions?

Ouch I know exactly what you are going through! I suffered from this for years and found nothing to ease the pain. Get a good pillow and try to read a good book. Sleep and drinking hot liquid was the only thing that helped me. Try some tea with honey.
Make sure your neck doesn't get cold. Wear a scarf (I'm sure yu already are).
If this happens to you often, ask you doctor if you shouldn't have your tonsils taken out. I did that when I was 18 but should have done it a lot sooner.
Hope you feel better soon.

Wear a scarf, keep a hot water bottle round your neck if necessary, keeping warm helps imensely, other than that, wait has been my experience, I was also told that ibuprofen was the best to take and didn't find it very effective, get plenty of vit C, drink lots

Try breathing in steam from hot water (not boiling!) Make sure you take it easy and get your doctor to test you for glandular fever if it doesn't stop. I know exactly how you're feeling as the same thing happened to me at 16. Don't try and get back to normal too soon

Sounds like mono(kissing disease).It's the swollen neck and the feeling tired that makes me think that. So rest, your meds, and more rest.

if there's a might desire to eliminate them dont hassle approximately it. it dosent incredibly harm. yet considering's commencing as much as seem unusual i might recommend going to the scientific institution and having them seem at it. cuzz it sounds just about worse than tonlistis. with little white spots? visit the scientific institution and have them seem at it defentily!
