i woke up last sunday morning unable to swallow without great pain. first the right side then later the left and then both. today is thursday and condition is no better. tonsils are enlarged and red, (no pus) glands on my neck are swollen on both sides but slightly more protruding on the right. urge to bring up (though painful) light yellowy catarhh. had a light, 1º fever on and off. every night i am waking up drenched in sweat which makes me feel cold. don't feel much like water but want to drink juice and desire to eat ice cream(which i don't normally like especially).
i strated initially with gelsemium but thought better of it and yesterday i started with belladonna 9ch but i am stopping now as i don't think it is helping and i don't know what i'm doing. took some paracetomal yesterday- it was such a relief! but i have been trying to avoid painkillers as i am still breatfeeding minimally (feels like there's nothing there).
been sleeping 80% of the time. but never feel any better.headache started yesterday and is still there.
foiund a bit of relief swallowing bread as opposed to just swallowing, or swallowing water.
feeling very pathetic and weepy and like its never going to go away.
any help, most appreciated.
