I agree about the codeine
If you use the effervescent co-codamol as your painkiller (they are paracetamol & codeine).. then try (& I know its not easy) to gargle with them before you swallow. (yeah.. they taste rank)
apart from that.. its just a case of snuggling up & eating ice cream & soup...
awwww Rawks.. I'd look after you if I could.. I am very experienced at having tonsilitius/glandular fever patients tucked up on the sofa...
I know to come through and feel brow every half hour.. followed by a concerned nod & acknowledgment that forehead was hot...
to freshen bedding every few hours, plump pillows, offer any type of drink or food that may help (including homemade soups - we found french onion, laced with garlic and red wine to be quite effective)...
Loki the (getting bloody huge) puppeeeee is also poorly today.. (he's got a bad tummy)
we have him tucked up on the sofa
