is in hospital with glandular fever and a quinsy
poor love has been ill for over a week with it getting worse and worse and being unable to even swallow saliva or talk properly. The doc last week said it was flu and gave antibiotics, but no effect. Hopefully will be home tommorow or the next day when theyve managed to operate on his tonsil

Get well soon NMM.
What's a quinsy?
Was gonna ask the same thing.
Hope hes ok.
My sympathy goes out to anyone with an abscess, they really really really hurt and make death seem like a tempting option.
The doctor did say that it would feel better once they aspirated it, but because he was so dehydrated from barely eating or drinking the last few days, it was impossible. She gave it a few stabs though, which looked like torture. Hopefully it will be easier tommorow after a night of IV fluids and antibiotics.
I always think things are 100 times worse when they're in your mouth/throat/head, so I'm getting a bit :nervous: just imagining it. Hope he gets it all sorted soon.
Apparently a lot of people have it very mildly and then dont get it again, and usually my immune system is pretty good.
I felt really rough the other day but am ok again now. Hopefully that was my version of it. Lenny also had a high temperature last week and had a day off school but was ok after that.
Will just have to wait and see if we get anything more than that.
Hope hes better soon!
hope he's feeling better soon. x
Hope he gets some nice painkillers too! Glandular fever must be awful.
Hope he's feeling better soon, and that the nurses are pouring those painkillers down his neck xx
I've had 'boarder line' glandular fever, which i think was basically a very mild form. Still made me really weak and prone to everything for a long time though. My immune system has never been the same since.
Anyhoo, glad to hear he's on the mend.
It's my own fault! I knew what it was about, after the first time, anyway!
Fear not, my dinner is still down
Did you get his pain relief deal sorted?
send him my love, and let him know im sending him happy, pain - free thoughts!
