Eiiinnnna.....

Lately i have not been feeling so kosher! For some or other reason i keep on feeling ill and my immune system is up to bollocks! I don't know if it's the fact that my belloved Chelsea have not lost to Man United the whole season(SHOCK), or that maybe i am really , like as in REALLY ill.

Well i went to the Doc last week, my normal G.P as he has been rather busy the last couple of weeks. Being ill i needed allternative treatment and chose to go see another Doctor. This time however i waited for him and finally got to see him.

As it turns out after a rather quick and yet rather thorough examination (not one of those look no hands exams) he planely and simply told me that my tonsils are farked and seeing that this is the 5th time in a month that i am ill he suggests i get rid of the farkers!

No prob , then leats get rid of them! BUT it is not that easy! Here's why!
At my age! The complications are quite high! Bleeding, infection, Eina and more Eina! But according to the ENT i see tomorrow again, all my other aillments should also become a thing of the past with these two babies gone. Out of every 10 people i have spoken to 9 have said don't get it done.

For onces i am going to follow my heart and go ahead if necessary.
Enclosed please find a pic of Eina tonsils.

Swollen tonsils can be the symptom of any of the several infections and diseases that affect the tonsils, which are present in the throat. Tonsil and throat infections can be caused by either virus or by bacteria, and it is usually spread through water droplets via air.

Usually swelling occurs when the tonsils begin to fight the bacteria or virus entering your system through the mouth. The tonsils are filters and begin to fight the organisms resulting in swelling and pain.



Tonsillitis is a major cause for swollen tonsils. Usually caused by bacteria, tonsillitis causes chronic pain in the tonsils as well as swelling. If this is left untreated, it could lead to further complications such as rheumatic fever as well as heart and kidney problem. The swelling in the throat may even become so bad, that it blocks the air passage and can cause suffocation. This infection from the swollen tonsils may spread to the chest and lungs and may turn fatal.



Antibiotics are usually given for curing tonsillitis and swelling. If the swelling becomes immense and it interferes with the swallowing, hospitalization and need for intravenous fluid may become necessary. Chronic problem of the tonsils, however, can only be cured by tonsillectomy or the surgical removal of the tonsils
