For several years I have suffered from frequent outbreaks of tonsillitis. I was supposed to get my tonsils out a year ago but I got tonsillitis a few days before the operation meaning I couldn't get it. Since then I haven't yet rearranged another date, mainly because I can't spare 2-3 recovery weeks with Uni commitments.
Anyway, I am experiencing severe problems at the minute, I got tonsillitis twice in the last ten days. Every morning over winter when I wake up I have to drink a cup of hot water to soothe my throat enough to even make it bearable to swallow saliva. This is a horrible start to the day and the pain eases little during the day. I have been to the doctor and been on a course of antibiotics (as I had a pretty flu symptoms the last time as well). I now just use a anaesthetic throat spray which numbs the throat for a while (much in the way a dentist injection in your gum would.)
I don't like taking medication anyway so I would prefer to use preventive methods instead of taking pills. I was considering getting a humidifier fan to moisten the air in my bedroom when I sleep as dry air really effects my throat.
Has anyone got one/used one and is it worth it? They are pretty expensive so I don't want to waste money.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the long winded post
