Worse than childbirth. I'm v run down, got depression too, yippee. I was digging around my craggy tonsil for stones and have caused a stonking ulcer. Jesus it is fucking agony. Any suggestions to ease the suffering?!

Gargle soluble paracetamol - it's horrid but it does work!

Difflam ,not cheap ,but effective .

You poor thing Flowers

Second the recommendation for difflam

Thanks all. Yeah I got difflam (£8.20!!!)earlier today. It has mildly taken the edge off. Will add soluble paracetamol to my repertoire. I remember it from childhood, it's bleurgh indeed! Salt water is useless. Provides a minor distraction though.

Would gargling with salt dissolved in water help?? (helps for a normal sore throat)

Twodogsandahooch · 30/06/2015 22:31

If you are not allergic take an anti inflammatory like ibuprofen too.

Smartleatherbag · 01/07/2015 09:32

Ibuprofen and codeine are helping thanks yeah. Sadly the ulcer laughed in the salt waters face Grin, but appreciated!
