1. Anitbiotics – Penicillin. Take 2 tablets 4 times a day. Must be taken on an empty stomach, or at least one hour before eating
2. Painkillers – Aspirin and Paracetamol. Two tablets every 6 hours. Must eat before taking these, as Aspirin on an empty stomach can lead to stomach ulcers.
3. Lozenges – To keep throat lubricated, and treat the worst sore throat I’ve had in my life.
4. Water - Good old H20. As I’m not eating properly I need to make sure I’m not dehydrated. I’ve been told to drink SO MUCH water, that my piss should be clear, not dark.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m suffering from a throat infection. The pain from my sore throat was so severe that I had to see the out of hours doctor on Sunday morning.
I’ve been told to rest for 7-10 days. And take drugs. Loads of drugs.
