Tonsillitis

Felt weak as fuck all day yesterday from a memorial day hangover. It was a rough night. Usually after a few vitamins my hangover goes away but I felt weak as shit like sore. Fast forward to today and I wake up with the worst pain my throat. Swallowing felt like I had glass in my saliva. Knowing that urgent cares around here are practically useless I finally decided after sleeping all damn day to go. Set my appointment up for 1:30... guess what the lady obviously didn't have it in and said they were backed up but I was next. 2 hours later after sickly watching the price is right on a tiny screen I'm called in. This urgent care was fucking packed btw.
Never seen it like this before. People were standing. Complaining. It felt like the ER. So I get my vitals/blah blah. Then doctor comes in asks what's up. Explain the symptoms and looks at my throat and instantly goes omg yes you have severe inflammation and puss coming out of your tonsils (white shit). Diagnosed with the dreaded Tonsillitis. Wow ok. She says I bet it hurts to swallow and I tell her it's almost as bad as my previous sinus infection. Not to mention the infection has been seeping into my stomach causing cramps/pain/nausea/dizziness. She says I need antibiotics and pain medication. I walk out and guess what I got for pain medication. Ibuprofen. Still in pain. Feel like shit. Can't eat or swallow food so I guess I'll be drinking soup and hoping I don't throw up the antibiotics.
... wtf... lol.. anyone else ever get this shit and what did you get prescribed?

The best thing I can say is to complain. I can't imagine ibuprofen doing much for that. idk, personally I'd probably just sneak out and smoke a joint.

I have a feeling that a harsh ass joint isn't gonna do wonders for his severely inflamed throat and tonsils.
Op, when I had my tonsillitis they gave me T3s which kinda helped a little bit. I had to take like 7 or 8 of those bitches though to get some actual relief.

Any time any doctor tries to give me T3 I tell him to save the effort. They make me sick every time.

Complaining is useless. I'm bed ridden. I would have taken any form of codeine. I was positive I'd get at least 2 ounces of codeine syrup... The form I wouldn't even care. Swallowing hurts so bad I can't believe she prescribed me these massive pills!! This is probably the 4th time a women PA has given me a terrible prescription.
Everything I'm reading online says they either got codeine-apap or T3's or the codeine-ibuprofen mix. It's always the women doctors I'm not kidding. My last trip here I walked out with half a pint of prometh/codeine and 20 vicodin for a sinus infection from a really old jewish guy. Now 1000x worse situation and I got ibuprofen lol.. ugh I'm gonna be in a world of pain for a week I'm assuming.
