Health Update
Acute tonsillitis is the doc's verdict; also had a temp of about 104. Been given shedloads of pills (which hurt like FUCK to take) and the rest of the week off work to recover.

Aargh. Sorry to hear that. Chewing on honey and ginger can be good for killing some of the pain/ infection. Chewing raw garlic is even better, if you've got the stomach for it and Puppy doesn't kill you for it. A pill splitter or knife could help with the tabs. *hugs* Hope you feel better soon.

Moving on from Scotiva's advice - ginger tea!

Grate a couple of teaspoons of fresh ginger into a mug, add 3 tsp honey and hot water. Ginger should help sweat out the fever and improve your body's ability to fight it, and honey is both a soother and a mild antibiotic. Add ribena if you don't like the taste, but it's actually quite nice!

Failing that, add the juice of a lemon and a shot of whisky.

To make pills easier to take: crush them between two spoons and mix the powder with something else (juice, pudding, whatever).

That's how we had to give pills to sick cats at the humane society - mixed it with canned cat food.

Get to feeling better!
