    Thanks guys.

    The thing is I am a 'little bit' better. I no longer fear to swallow thinking my throat is being ripped out with tiny razor blades. But I am no where near 'well'. I am really tired of this shit though.

    I'm gonna give you my own NONprofessional opinion about this.....

    I think antibiotics are overused way too much and it's good for your body to learn to fight infections on their own.

    At the same time, you want to keep your body from being totally wrecked by some infection in case ANOTHER one comes along and they tag-team your ass.

    If your body has fought an infection for almost a week and you don't see major results, your body needs the help of an antibiotic.

    Even if the infection is viral and an antibiotic won't work, you may be ordered one to prevent a bacterial infection from joining in on the the ass-beating party your body is going thru.

    go to da docta patti.

    Thanks Fred. I think people take too many antibiotics too. I want them only when I really need them and for them to be able to work.

    Mine has moved to my ear. My throat is still sore in the mornings and at night, but during the day, I can manage okay. Eating makes my ear feel like its gonna pop. The Amoxicillin doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm afraid these are allergies and stress related. So...I'm cleaning the house and shampooing the carpets today and tomorrow. Gotta get rid of every speck of dust. Got to. No excuses. Gotta. Talk about stress. :)

    been taking Decons and Antihises since last Monday. really haven't noticed any changes. But no sore throat this morning and I've slept almost 10-12 hours the past two nights. I feel a LOT better.

    It's most likely a viral infection. It's been going around. It can last from 3-10 days, and nothing touches it. Same old, applies drink plenty and rest. T/C...
