Thats horrid stuff Nismoid! Ive found gargling Asprin to be the way to go when you feel a tickle on the ol'throat

My youngest gets bad throat infections, but damned if he's having the tonsils cut out unless it gets real bad..... see what this winter does to him. Has asthma so that could have something to do with it, but I seriously dont want his immune system stuffed around with (by removing lymph tissue, ie tonsils).

I wouldn't go so far as to say horrid. You're not meant to swallow it lol, so you really can't taste it that badly.

It sure as well works though, every 3hrs for 12hrs and 9 times outta 10 these days any throat tickle i have, totally knocked out and I'm fine the next day

Betadine Throat gargle also works quite well for a lot of throat infections.

If you feel the on-set of something (even a tingle), start using it and a lot of the time you can stop it from taking hold :)

Yep, throat gargles taste gross but really you just need to HTFU for 30 seconds. Have some of that in my cupboard and it's not actually the worst tasting. Used to the smell from dousing horse injuries in it though :/

Tonsilitis. What a bastard, prick, pain in the arse thing this is.

Had an on going battle with it for about 4 years. My sister also. (We cross infected each other). To go to bed with a "normal throat" and wake up hardly able to talk all because I left the fan on in my room was normal. Always being tired/rundown was just part of life. I could never "catch up on sleep".

After being thrown into hospital twice I went and saw a specialist with my sister tagging along. Took one look at us and said they're coming straight out. The normal GP's were sure that removing them would be a bad thing. (How can it be when you're always sick FFS and taking upto 10 penicillin tablets a day). Booked us in and within 4 weeks we were being operated on. He did warn me not to turn up with a "hot" throat. One week before the op I was having IV antibiotics to try and get rid of it long enough to be operated on.

OP day.... Turns out I was inflamed as hell. Doc made a decision to operate anyway... A few days later we were both back in hospital. The first night the nurse gave us a baked dinner to eat. FFS... I have stiches in my fkn throat, couldn't drink so much as a mouthful of water and you want us to munch on a steak?

Post op check up. Turns out I was about 6 weeks out from blood poisioning. Fantastic. Thumbs up to my "trusty doctors"

That was about 4 years ago. Since getting having them out i've put on close to 30 KG and haven't had so much as a cold or a flu. THE BEST THING IVE DONE! Sister has also had no "downsides" from getting them out either.

GP's excuse for not getting them taken out... "due to your age I knew how painful it would have been".... Well he got that right! haha. Apparantly the nerve's in the tonsils "change" around the age of 21 which makes it MUCH MORE painful than having them out as a kid. I think i'd rather have all 4 wisdom teeth out 5 times over than go through that again... No joke!

If they're giving you grief, go and get them out. I wish I did it 8 years ago when this crap showed up!

* appologies for the length of the post.

I believe one of the concerns with taking them out these days is having the stitches break while you're sleeping, allowing you to bleed out into your stomach while you're asleep.

Otherwise f**k that shit Paul

just harden up kiddies and chop the useless f**kers out....and get your foreskin off while your at it...

we modify factory imperfections on our cars so why not fix the defects on our bodies..things like wisdom teeth and appendixes get removed all the time so why not just chop the tonsils out too..

Please tell me you didn't just imply circumcision is fixing an imperfection...

Oh god I hope you were trolling lol

I know my sister DIDN'T have stitches. I did because of how deep and large the inflamed pussballs were. They don't cut them out but get a crazy laser in there. Maybe the bleeding was a concern years ago?

Pretty sure he was trolling...that or he's a cut man experiencing dissonance and wants the rest of us to join him. Ahhh this takes me back to the days of 4chan cut vs no cut threads, or which way the toilet paper roll should face.

Yeah undoubtedly true. I know this was sorta like a "back in the day" concern, so these days with tech advances you're likely fine lol

Speaking of tonsillitis, I currently have a horrifically sore throat that I can't tell if it's man flu or inflamed tonsils. No obvious swelling or pus, just seems to feel like my tonsils hurt a little as well when I swallow.

I'm taking one of the containers of erythromycin I have in the drawer anyway lol

Terry - is there any reason I should NOT take antibiotics as normal if I don't actually have tonsillitis? Like, are there any negative effects of erythromycin that make it a bad idea to take them 'just in case'?

Because generally you grow out of tonsillitis and we have penicillin. Why have a surgical procedure that's unnecessary?

why have a throat disease that unnecessary...?

seemed like a manly thing to do after a few bootles of rum :P

toilet paper should face the wall side...

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
