EC Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 So I had posted about how I was sick before... Well I went to the doc and he said First of all I have to have my tonsils removed! And he said i need to go to a specialist because he thinks somethings wrong with my immune system. He thinks I am not producing enough white blood cells! Yikes. This is so not good. I have an appointment next week for Lab work. But anyways he gave me an antibiotic for the flu and the infection on my tonsils and I am in soooo much pain!!!! My stomach feels as if its caving in!!!! Whats the matter? I ate some food and everything but this pain is so intense and I know its the medicine!!! I can't make the pain stop!~ Link to post Share on other sites
laRubiaBonita Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 when was the last time you actually ate something and kept it down? Link to post Share on other sites
agnf666 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Sorry to hear that EC!!! Maybe you should call the doctor and tell him that you are still in pain and the medicine isn't working!! I thought that ice cream was good for when you get your tonsils out. So, go get some Ben and Jerrys and relax! Link to post Share on other sites
Author EC Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 I ate some cereal this morning thats it and some coffee...But I have to work so I am like Bent over in pain trying to hold it in. I think the medicine is way to strong! You think Tums will work? Link to post Share on other sites
laRubiaBonita Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 tums may work.....give it a shot! try eating some saltines, and get more milk. then call you doc.'s office a tell them! read the medication interactions and side effects too! Link to post Share on other sites
agnf666 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Drink plenty of warm, soothing liquids. Soup, broth and tea are good choices. Gargle with warm salt water. Doing this several times a day may help relieve throat pain. Mix 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of table salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Be sure to spit out the liquid after gargling.

LucreziaBorgia Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I remember getting symptoms like that once as a side effect of a strong antibiotic I was taking. The pain was unbelievable. It went away when the course of antibiotics was done. It was miserable and very painful - I'd swallow and it would feel like a burning hot coal getting lodged in me. You will want to bring this up with your doctor, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Some antibiotics can cause a lot of peristalysis (smooth muscle contraction) in the gut. Let me guess - is this erythromycin or something like that? I once had a bad reaciton like that, so severe that I started throwing up violently and was puking blood. CALL THE DOCTOR ASAP. He needs to change your meds. There are other antibiotics out there. Link to post Share on other sites
laRubiaBonita Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 stamch caving in and diarreha pain could be similar in the beginning stages......... stay near the can. Link to post Share on other sites
Author EC Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Yeah I called my doc after being on hold for so damn long.... Im on hold for so long that by the time they pick up and ask me what Im like I dunno! I was on hold for so long I forgot!! lmao But anyways he said its normal..But that I need to eat it with a meal to make the discomfort less..but that its really strong medication and that i will feel that for a while a few minutes after I swallow the pill. OMG but this pain is so intense. I can't wait till it goes away. I ate four tums! And to think I have two pills left! UGH! Damn tonsils! Can't wait to rip them out and eat ice cream all day!

laRubiaBonita Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 well eat something right now.....besides tums. like pretzals, chips, anything to put something in your Belly! Link to post Share on other sites
NiCoLe20 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 i kno ur at work now but when im in pain like that i lay down with a heating pad on... it really works. if you dont have one just take a nice hot bath and relax for alittle bit. um... yea soups and tea really help... um- on the other hand- maybe gatorade will help.. it has several minerals and stuff in it that might help you feel better.

Author EC Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Ok phew I had some more cereal and I guess the tums kicked in and I can breathe and move again. That was so bad. I can't believe it. I have never had a side affect so serious! I wonder if it will be less intense tomorrow when I have to take the pill again. Wow three days of that pain. I dont think I can handle it. Next time I will eat a whole meal before hand. I will be better prepared..but the box tricked me because it said 'Take with or without food" So I thought it didn't matter?

Merin Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I had My tonsils out when I was 5... Whoo hoo a good time! LOL It isn't that bad.. although there are still a lot of Doc's out there that don't believe it's necessary to have them removed... After I had mine out when I was little, I stopped getting sick all the freakin time! I believe that now it's an in office procedure... Hope you feel mo betta soon Link to post Share on other sites
