Laryngitis

To cut a long story short, I had a sore throat ford a week. Nothing was working so went to the doctor. The doctor diagnosed Laryngitis and told me to rest my voice and take Penicilin which I was given and use a throat spray and drink water etc.

I am on day 4 of the penicilin and feel no better.. I am taking water and other hot drinks but my throat is still sore. I can deal with that but now i feel very tired and all I want to do is sleep. I did not feel so tired when this first happened. I do not think the penicilin is working. I am so totally fed up with this and want to get better. I am also resting my voice as instructed to do so but I am beginning to think that will not work either. I wake up exhausted then go back to sleep for a few hours Wake up again exhausted and go back to sleep again or try to stay awake. I cannot go on like this. I have also lost my appetite a bit

Any adice? Should I go back to the doctor

You could ring 111 for advice maybe?

I would go back to the GP.

I would go back to GP too - 111 would probably tell you to do that anyway. Have you come out in a rash? As this could be glandular fever, which can give you a rash if you take antibiotics with it.

I know this is an old post but curious how long it took you to recover.
