swollen glands

[bagpussmice]

tis me not either of the dd's to make a change.
woke up this morning with such tender/swollen neck glands. have taken ibuprofen, but it hurts a bit to swallow.
is it an infection or just tenderness when you get this? so do not want to be ill as have a big party to go to this weekend. Not sure whether to go to docs or just ride it through and hope it goes away?
anyone know?

Bagpuss I can sympathise - woke up with this yesterday and very sore throat. No better today so off to docs (like you made a change for it to be me not the DSs!). Dr took one look down my throat and said "well that's put me off my morning coffee!" So, a week's worth of penicillin for me - mind you hopefully I may lose some weight cos can only eat soft things or soup!!! Hope you feel better soon.

He also recommended taking soluble paracetomol to ease the pain.

oh no - poor you, hope I've not got hte same.
Will see if it's any better tomorrow, then maybe take a visit to Doc. Hope you feel better too.
can you drink whilst on penicillin?
