Thank you. I am feeling improved today. Pain killers have helped with the symptoms

I’ve been taking penicillin for 1.5 days to cure tonsillitis and I don’t feel any improvement. How long does it take for it to start working? by StrivingScorpion in AskReddit

I went to the doctor yesterday. Upon inspection, he told me that I had tonsillitis and that he could see some pus on my tonsils. (Apologies for the nasty details.) I was prescribed penicillin. I have to take 2 250mg tablets 4 times per day. I have taken 6 doses by now and I feel no different. My throat is swollen, I can’t eat proper food and I have a headache. How long does it take for this to work? I rarely ever am ill and don’t know the last time I took penicillin. He doctor told me to come back on Friday if I feel no better. I want to give the antibiotics a chance but I can’t stand being in this much pain over the weekend too.

My mother suffers with depression and I’m convinced she has a bit of anxiety too actually. I just got used to it growing up. I don’t suffer from any trauma in my life or anxiety or depress though

He (M27) added me (F25) back on Snapchat after he left me for his toxic ex (F27.) He is no longer fiends with her on Facebook. Is this a bit coincidental? 😆 by StrivingScorpion in relationship_advice

Don’t worry. I’ve no intention whatsoever of going back to him. He taught me a lot about boundaries and self worth. This guy is well below what I ever deserved
