tonsillitis - is it infectious?

[giraffescantdancethetango]

Google is giving me various answers wondering if anyone knows?

Have you got the vomiting bug too? Sounds awful for you. My eyes look like piss holes and are really stinging, but I don't want to swap you.

No apparently puking can be a symptom of tonsillitis. Keep throwing up tabs. and anything i drink. so not sure how to get temp down.

poor your eyes, sounds horid

How are you giraffes? I hope you are feeling better.

Ironically after posting about our experiences, DS1 had a horrendous temperature yesterday which finally went down at about 5am this morning to be replaced by a sore throat.

Investigations armed with a torch show pusy tonsils so we are off to the docs in a minute.

We (well DS1 anyway and me only because I didn't get much sleep last night) share your pain!

God, its grim isn't it? I had 5 bouts over a year ago (all with loads of pus etc), and then pneumonia. It turened out it was Strep A which had then gone to my chest. Get them to take a swab if it comes back. Manuka honey (as strong as possible) is good. Loads of fluids, and maximum available dosages of paracetomal and ibuprofen for temp/pain.
