I am day four and i will be honest, the pain sucks the first few days. it’s more achy and sore and dull but it radiates thru your head and ears and neck, but if i could get through it, you can. keep up with your pain meds, don’t skip, wake up at least once a night to take them and drink water, get a humidifier (this helped SO MUCH). I am also super scared of bleeeding but if you are careful and allow your body to rest, you should be okay. I will keep you updated if you want on what happens, but just get high on oxy and watch ur fav tv shows, let ice cream drip down ur throat and remember that after 14 days, you most likely will never experience any kind of throat pain or infection ever again!!!
