Should I go to A&E? Really don't want to.

[crazynanna]

I have had,for the 1st time in my 48yo life,a bout of tonsilitis. Started Saturday as an earache,and one sided sore throat. Quickly escalated by Monday the pain was unbearable...taking 3 Nurofen and not even touching it. GP said it looked "viral" and to carry on with painkillers'.

Last 2 mornings,I am not ashamed to say I have cried with the pain. Other symptoms:
Only on one side
Pain in jaw and ear
Feels like razor blades when swallow.
cannot open mouth properly
lots of spittle (sorry tmi)
Voice is weird.

Went and saw different GP this morning...and she wasn't happy. Said she is worried re Quincy (Quinsy?). She gave me Penicillin 500mg 4x day...Diclonfenac 50mg 3 x day...and a throat spray.She said if pain gets any worse to go A&E as may need draining . I am sitting here in tears again,the pain is so bad.

Shall I wait for ABs' to kick in? Or shall I go and let them at me with a needle

Sorry it's long...

I think I just swallowed it Viva ...though when I spat into the sick it was a blood and frothy mix. It tasted like snot...bad snot,you know..the snot when you have cattarh. But yes...I swallowed it.

Incidently...I have the trott squits all day...could be the pus or the ABs'

Probably the abx.
