My girlfirend currently has tonsil litus and the doc has given her penasilin V, 33hrs on and she still has a temprature of 102.5 F and now vomits any food she eats, She is constantly thirsty and has a stiff neck with normal movement. Both of us have had tonsil litus before but nothing like this. Should we be concerned or is this to be expected? Thank you. Ray

Call the doctor back out or take her to the A&E. It could be that its gone septic and making her worse but also the symptoms of menengitis are similar so it's best not to take any chances. Good luck hope she feels better soon

This doesn't sound great. Have you called NHS Direct. If not, then do so now. 0845 46 47. She might be allergic to the penecillin or something else might be going on.

i have suffered from this since childhood and if she has severe tonsilitus it will take 3 days to ease even will pills and yes its horrible and all u describe is normal dont worry u are sick neck is stiff and really hurts cant stand lights etc seems serious but its severe tonsilitus which will ease after 48 hrs onwards, unless she is finding it really hard to breath she will be fine hope u feel better soon

Pen V won't reduce her temp. She's thirsty because she's been vomiting and is likely dehydrated. Contact her doctor and report this now.

Please take this seriously.
Get her into hospital as soon as possible.
She is at risk of developing quinsy.
This is a complication of tonsillitis and it does kill if left untreated.
She needs urgent medical attention.

if shes getting that bad with it take her to hospital because she sounds dehydrated too which will make her feel worse and maybe she will need them removed, hopefully she will feel better soon x
