hopefully last tonsil update
went to issaquah urgent care (thank you saint [info]wrog). doctor looked in my throat and said "oh shit," always reassuring. Diagnosis: textbook tonsillitis, possible quinsy. Gave me a big ol' shot of some nth-generation broad spectrum antibiotic, "the biggest and baddest we have," observed me for 10 minutes to make sure I didn't die, and sent me home. Said of previous doctor, "you never like to speak ill of a colleague, but were he a horse, I'd steer clear of the nether end."

Glad you found a doctor with a clue and you finally start feeling better.

quinsy? oh, my, haven't heard of that in years.

on nth-generation broad-spectrum antibiotic, is one still routinely advised to re-establish, rebuild one's intestinal flora?

(i recall recent upsets in that department, following antibiotic usage. was given a leaflet at vgh listing beneficial foods including sauerkraut and (!) kimchi).

good luck, anyway

yet another wish for getting well soon. the whole necrotic tonsil thing is still weirding me out, because when tissue starts *dying*, that could be bad. i'm glad you found a good doctor though.

::googles quinsy::

oi. that sounds painful.

::hugs::

Heavens.

Yeah, I'd check out the acidophilus pills if you know where to get them, but otherwise just getting better would be nice :P

Okay, one more(and hopefully last) time: I'm glad to hear things are somewhat better, and here's hoping things are better soon. And don't you go wasting my well-wishes by having things go south again, 'kay? :-)
