"Hot lemon juice water and honey and aspirin "
Out of fresh lemons. Woe is me.
I’ve got a bottle of that Sainsbury’s lemon juice somewhere in the pantry, does that work or has all the lemon health benefits been killed in the processing? |

"Same here I've been poorly since Thursday and it's making me grumpy "
Oh poor you! I’m still up and functioning, but it’s making me feel weepy and needy. I want to sit down on the floor and just sob. |

"Is it a sore throat or tonsillitis?"
Tonsillitis is my nemesis. It’s my go to when I’m run down and stressed. I’m on day two. I’m wilfully holding on to the hope it’s the former. |

Look at the back of your throat for me...
If it is tonsillitis, call your doctor. If you get it regularly, you should have them out. |

By the way is it weird I found the phrasing of your “look at the back of your throat for me...” arousing? I think I want someone to take me in hand today and get all authoritative. |

Drink warm honey mixed with cinnamon. And if you are feeling extra ill, eat a raw clove of garlic. Freshly crushed raw garlic produces an enzyme that inhibits the growth of bad bacteria |

Not necessarily. I had bacterial tonsilitis a couple of months ago, with the white spots. I went to bed for 2 days and took paracetamol. I fought it off without antibiotics this time. |

Wrong. If you have white spots on the back of your throat, doctors will insist that you have viral tonsillitis and won't give you antibiotics.
If you do get tonsillitis regularly (as in every few weeks), you can be referred to a specialist who will do a tonsillectomy if they think it will help. |

I had tonsillitis for the last month. Came down with it on the 20th May, was finally given antibiotics last Monday. The Tuesday morning, I felt almost normal. |

Go to a pharmacy and ask for Difflam spray. It'll numb your throat and relieve the symptoms, really helps before going to sleep.
Gargling salt / TCP mixed with water is recommended, drink ginger lemon honey tea.
Nothing works as well as Difflam. |

I've gargled TCP in the past. It works, but god it is horrible. I used to use chloraseptic sprays. Again, they taste awful, but they were pretty much the only thing that would numb the soreness |
