Back at A&E in what has been an absolutely horrible year for injury and sickness in the household.
The latest cough that me and the youngest had last week started to develop into a particularly horrendous sore throat on Friday and got worse and worse over the weekend.
Level 11 pain on swallowing. Worst pain ever experienced by some margin.
After the 5th night of worsening pain and a complete inability to sleep by now, and having got prescription pain meds and a spray from a GP telephone consult today - that did nothing at all - I got a cab here at 1:30am.
Hasn’t been mentioned yet, but almost certain that my self-diagnosis of ‘quinsy’ is accurate:

Only just had bloods taken so am expecting at least a couple more hours before getting to any sort of treatment, but hopefully an antibiotic drip will sort me out.
