Not sure on the glandular fever tbh. I had it when I was 20, I felt absolutely awful, flu like symptoms, and my tonsils were so swollen they were almost touching.

Absolutely no cough though. The hallucinations were a surprise!

I’ve not had any hallucinations. My tonsils feel like that

Give it 48 hours after your samples sent it and ring for results, if it's glandular fever, then great, well, you know what I mean, you'll have An answer and can manage the symptoms. If it's not then push for more tests, it's miserable to feel that rough for as long as you have!

I think my hallucinations were from the high temperature, it's the most ill I've been in my life.

Oh, and i hope you feel better soon, it's also miserable being ill at this time of year!

This feeling in my throat is the worst and it’s been since October 11th to be precise. I’ve had bloods for glandular fever & absolutely nothing 😫 xx
