lulabelle answered Friday June 16 2006, 11:37 am: Tonsilitis comes to mind. You need to get to a doctor to get an acurate diagnosis. One thing that will help you w/this is taking the essential oil-clove oil-it is an analgesic and will help to deaden the pain(also great for a tooth ache). Clove oil is also an anesthetic which will help to kill the bug that is perpetuating this illness. Just put a couple of drops on your tung and swollow. You'll notice it right away. Some natural antibiotics are St. Johns Wort, Holy Basil and Colostrum. You should be able to get these items at any local health food store. You also want to take anywhere from 500 to 1000 milligrams of Vitamin C every two hours or so. The dosage depends on your age and weight. Drink lots of liquids, fruit juices, and water etc. Don't drink sodas. The reason is that the sugar in them deplete your body of vitamin C and other helpful vitamians. It acutally breaks down your immune system. This will make your healing process take longer. Do these things and you should be up w/in a day or so. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better soon.

i find the simple old ways work just as well as these silly newfangled pills'n'such. :P drink lots of water, quietly rest a lot but still get up to keep your body from atrophying. guava nectar always helped me feel better for some reason. sobe drinks are good too, and frozen slushie-like ice gatorades. ^_^ now, if you're really feeling like crap and this lasts more than a few days, definitely go see a doctor. like the person before me said, it could possibly be tonsillitis and that would suck majorly if you didn't do something about it soon enough.
tikibikini answered Friday June 16 2006, 8:27 am: alright so you have a fever. hmm if your tonsils are swolen there is a chance that you and tonsilitous. ive gotten it before,well i used to get it all the time and mine were really bad. the reason why your ears probably hurt is because your body is clogged up which does something to your ears. if you are achy every where and your neck is stiff there is a chance yo could have the flu. sooo either you have the flu or tonsilitous. you should go get it checked out if you really dont feel good. hope i helped [ tikibikini's advice column | Ask tikibikini A Question ]
