Recommend Treatment For Glandular Fever With Soar Throat
I was diagnosed glandular fever on Monday (no blood test) started last Thurs/Fri with extreme sore throat. Developed over weekend into swollen glands, generally feeling rough & now have a very sore & swollen tongue. Taking Ibuprofen & paracetomol for pain relief which does help but I feel very ropey when the wear off. Any suggestions would be welcome. Eating difficult but drinking ok. Thanks.
