Well, my trip to the doctor Friday morning confirmed I too have tonsillitis. The doctor put me phenoxymethlpenicillin, 4 pills a day for 12 days. Wikipedia told me that this is the recommended antibiotic for Streptococcus pyogenes, the cause of Group A streptococcal infections. Interestingly, I also found a link between these infections and rapid development of OCD or tics, known as PANDAS.
Well, I felt better the next day after just 4 doses, so it seems to be working! Little bit nauseous, though, not sure if that's the antibiotics or something else, but that settled down too.
I'm also aware that antibiotics may stop the pill from working, so DH isn't getting much fun for 12 days!
I'm a full-time worker, a mother of a 7yo girl and a 12yo boy, have been married for 14 years, and am the carer for my husband and son. DH has chronic joint pain, ADHD, severe anxiety and depression. More recent diagnoses are Fibromyalgia and haemochromatosis; DS has ADHD and mild Asperger's Syndrome. We also have two cats, a dog, and a house that is slowly being cleaned & decluttered.
