Has anyone else had this awful sore throat virus? I'm on day 9 still with a lingering sore throat and my poor daughter who is only 3 has picked it up today and I've never seen her so unwell. The back of her throat is red raw with little red spots and her tonsils are massive, she keeps complaining there is something stuck in her throat and crying every time she swallows. She's vomiting as well and drooling. It's absolutely awful. I had a sore throat and dry cough with it and a bit of a tummy upset as well. I've taken her to the docs today and they've given antibiotics for tonsillitis as she does have form for it, has had it in September and December which took 3 lots of antibiotics to kick it completely. I'm just worried it's not tonsillitis (it looks like it is) but the fact I had the same thing a week ago makes me think viral. Or maybe I had tonsillitis too and just didn't need ABs. Anyway just looking for experiences? Anyone else here? I'm so worried about her she's not eaten a thing all day and barely drank anything and in bed not able to settle as she's in such pain. I've kept well on top of the calpol and nurofen and it doesn't seem to be making any difference
