A health query....re-my sore throat....

[carole]

Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas, I was getting a bit paranoid, I have had a strep throat before, and honestly it was so painful I felt I wanted to die, this is not near on that level, it is more discomfort than anything, but I guess there are different strains of it, I am thinking along those lines, yes Sandra I will take all the pills, I still have four days to go, he gave me ten days, so gosh that should knock it out surely, I just expected results earlier.

I never knew to throw my tooth brush out, does bacteria remain there to re-infect you, gosh just bought a new one too, oh well into the bin with that, don't want this again in a hurry.

Interesting about mono, not necessarily having all the symptons, I never knew that either, if it has not gone by the time I have finished my antibiotics I am going back and getting a swab and tests done, No he did not take a culture Sandra, I should have insisted , but thought maybe it was viral at that stage, still could be I suppose.

Hopefully it will stop hurting soon, fingers crossed, thanks again for all your informative and helpful reply's, it has eased my worries a little ., I can always count on your guys 100 percent. Cheers everyone.

P.S Hubby brought home some betadine throat gargle, it has iodine in it and is supposed to clear all viral and bacterial infections, it taste disgusting, but I am hoping it works.
