Swine flu - what else?! The NHS Direct symptom check web links aren't working at the mo and I'd rather not add to their workload by calling if I don't have swine flu.
I think what I have is tonsillitis, and certainly I have those lurvely white spots on the back of my tonsils to confirm it. However I also had a wee bit of a tummy bug on Monday, which I killed off nicely with lemon juice and vinegar (grim but effective). I also now feel a wee bit fluish - slightly aching muscles - and also have signs of a developing infection/ tenderness in my soft palate.
When I get tonsillitis I don't usually have any of those symptoms, just the throat stuff. I haven't had a cough or a temperature, though. As I write this sounds more and more unlike swine flu but I'd appreciate your input!
TIA
