Take an anti histamine (Benadryl). Don't talk or anything. Drink a lot of fluids. In half an hour if you aren't feeling better or if your symptoms keep getting worse call 911 and get admitted to a hospital. Better safe than sorry.
When I was younger I had that same thing happen to me like 3 times a year, every year. It was tonsilitis and it didn't stop until I had my tonsils taken out. Since then, I haven't had those symptoms again.
I will tell you from personal experience, just because your doctor has an MD behind their name, doesn't mean they know everything. Sometimes your intuition means more than a doc's diagnosis.
If you keep getting worse, I would go back to your doc, or to a different one maybe and insist that something be done to help you. Hope you get some relief...
well you need to go to the emergency room it sound kinda like a allergy you're tounge may be swelling but i dont know for sure so i would definetly go get it checked out at the e.r
Go to the chemist and ask about getting some children's panadol (paracetamol). It should come in the form of a liquid. You take more than what a child would but it is easier to swallow and usually more effective.
Put your head over a hot bowl of water with a towel over your head to get some steam into your lunges, or have a hot shower
I just had that. Just drink a lot of fluids...mine got worse after a few days, but the worst part lasted for only a day or two. You shouldn't be worried. Try taking nyquil before you go to bed tonight and see if that helps. You'll be fine. :) hope you feel better!
hun, same thing happened to like a month ago. just dont worry. rest and drink a lot of fluids, warm tea with lemon and honey will help. sleep a lot and just do something to take your mind off your sickness.
good luck=]
