Oh Hello There Tonsillitis..

and no, I am not so glad you came.. 

Usual day… which ends in a not so usual illness.. ayayay! Haven’t felt this ill for the longest time.. haays. I was bed ridden for almost a week…

It was two Saturdays ago, I was not feeling well..slept the whole afternoon.. and by midnight, my fever is sky rocketing high (hubby said I almost reached 40 deg).. He stayed up all night caring for me.. sponge bath, checking my temperature and making me feel better. Swerte ko talaga sa asawa ko.. provider na.. nurse pa! Pero hindi naman pwedeng umabsent siya at alagaan ako ng bongga.. kaya to the rescue si mudra!

We went to ER Sunday afternoon and I was diagnosed with Tonsillitis. Inflammation of tonsils which was caused by bacterial or viral infection. I was given three kinds of med. Antibiotics, candy for sore throat pain (hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan!! haha) and paracetamol for my fever. Of course for, I bought Biogesic for paracetamol. Yan lang naman ang trusted brand ko when it comes to paracetamol. Tamang tama din ang Biogesic since I can’t eat with my sore throat, I still can take it even with empty stomach. And with my fever that time, I need to take paracetamol every four hours. Safe na safe ang pakiramdam ko sa Biogesic.

Yan ang pinakamasaklap sa lahat! Hindi ako makakain.. ahuhu buti pa ang ibang sakit, wala kang gana kumain, pero noong may tonsilitis ako, may gana ako! Gusto ko ng pizza, ng burger, ng kahit ano.. pero wala! Hindi ko kayang kumain! Para akong mababaliw sa gutom hahaha

But the best thing about being sick, I have the best nurse in the world, my little princess.. feel na feel ko ang love sa akin ng aming prinsesa. During the time that I was in bed, she’d check on me from time to time. Siya din ang nag sponge bath sa akin pag mataas ang lagnat ko. You can see the concern in her eyes and the way she touched me.. na “touch” therapy ako ng bongga! Ang sarap talaga ng may baby girl.

Another good thing, I lose weight.. makes me want to stay sick kahit hangang 110lbs laaaang hahaha

After 4 days, my throat’s getting better. I took the antibiotics for 3 days and also gargle mouthwash and warm water+salt solution. I think  the solution helped a lot. It makes me feel better and helped a lot in treating the inflammation. If you’re feeling the symptoms of tonsilitiss, I suggest you gargle warm water+solution at least 4 times a day. I think I did that almost every two hours. Grabe talaga ang sakit nang lalamunan ko noon, halos hindi ako makatulog.. or minsan makakatulog ako tapos pag nalunok ako, bigla ako magigising sa sakit.. ang saklap talaga! 

And now after more than a week, I’m better.. kaya lang we missed Run United last Sunday. I don’ think I can run that day.. mejo hilo hilo pa din at ngarag ang pakiramdam ko.. nest RU, hopefully.

Back to work na ang beauty ko!
