Ever since I got tonsillitis repetitively in a span of 2 weeks, sometimes I feel like avoiding super cold drinks and sweet desserts. After having that turtle pie (it's like chocolate mousse + ice cream cake) at Kamirori, I woke up with my throat burning and it got worse after a day up to the point I couldn't swallow even my own saliva. My saliva would just pile in my mouth (gross, I knooow) so I had to spit it out. Second day when it was hurting so bad, I couldn't sleep at all and just tossed and turned and cried a little bit because of the pain in my throat. I started taking antibiotics for 3 days and it worked like magic so I stopped at the third day when the doctor recommended taking it for 5 days. I stopped at day three because I feel like I was having some allergic reactions to the drug, like my hands would get itchy and reddish all of a sudden then after a while, it will subside. After I thought I was okay already, I bravely ate some silvannas and even ate chocolates.After a day or two my tonsils were swollen again and I had to take my antibiotics again - religiously this time. I avoided everything that could irritate my throat and after 5 days I think I finally recovered - until now.
Well, I feel perfectly fine right now. I stopped taking my meds a few days ago and started drinking the usual cold water and even ate ice cream last monday. But every after I ate/drank something cold or sweet I would become conscious of my throat and would check on my tonsils once in a while (like I did a couple of minutes ago).
It's just that I couldn't afford to be sick again because of our internships and the fact that I have this second interview on a HUGE company that I'm really stoked about.
Soooo, I decided that I would just drink room temperature water for the rest of the month and vow not to eat anything that I think that would stress my tonsils.
I'm just really, really afraid of tonsillitis because when I had them last December 2010, my fever was so high that I had chills and seizure, not to mention I kept on vomiting all over the place.
It's just sad that I'm missing a lot specially its summer and it's my favorite season because I get to eat ice cream as much as I want - but I guess I couldn't do that now. I couldn't afford to be sick OR lose my voice (like what happened a few months ago that I totally lost my voice and it was so croaky that I sounded like an evil witch) anymore - I hated it.
