My throat/ears are agony (so sore can't swallow). Thought it was tonsillitis, but according to GP yesterday it's a virus (although couldn't see my tonsils when he looked), so no antibiotics and advised to take paracetamol and ibuprofen.
This is what I've been doing but it doesn't seem to touch the pain at all. Getting really desperate as have been like this since sat and not getting sleep. Breastfeeding too, so guess that limits what I can take.
Throat lozenges are no use as too painful to swallow.
All suggestions welcome. Really desperate and close to tears (ok, there have already been some!).
