I'm Sick, Please Help.

I have Pharyngitis at the moment, my stomach is upset, and I have been getting head aches recently (even now I have them all)

I went to the doctor and they gave me some anti-biotics. What can I eat/drink without getting sicker?

What can I do to make myself better (like wash my hands more than normal, or something to help prevent germs). Is Pharyngitis contagus?

Answer #1

“Pharyngitis” is just a scary name for the common “sore throat.” It’s caused either by a virus or by bacteria, which makes it contagious. It only makes sense to take antibiotics if the cause is bacteria (as antibiotics kill bacteria) so if your doctor gave you that it must be bacterial. Either way, it’s nothing too serious and is in fact common for the spring season. I must have had it like three times already for the past several months. Just follow what your doc told you, drink hot drinks, get some lozenges and keep warm. You’ll be fine in a few days.
