I've had tonsillitis for the past few days, which anyone who's had it will know is a form of torture. I'm not at all anxious that it "might be cancer" as I've had tonsillitis many times and know it inside out. However, it's so incredibly, painful, I've been taking over-the-counter co-codamol since Monday. I also use a throat spray, and continue to take my sertraline.
To try and cut a long story short, I'm starting to feel better in terms of the tonsillitis, but I feel a little nauseous. Going to speak to my pharmacist tomorrow, although I have to stop the co-codamol at this point anyway. I just wondered if the cocktail of medicine might be the problem. Sertraline+paracetamol+codeine+lack of sleep+lack of food and drink = nausea? It seems plausible.
I wasn't vigilant with the co-codamol due to the state I was in, although I was taking it about six hours apart. I'm not majorly worried, and realise I could well just be letting the fact I'm taking these medicines get to me and that's triggering a sense of nausea.
Obviously nobody here's a doctor, but does anyone have any thoughts?
PS - tonsillitis SUCKS!! It's not just a "sore throat", I don't care what anyone says. It's brutal. I've had a fever, I've had chills, dizzy spells, confusion and, yeah, my throat feels like it's trying to burn itself to death. Honestly think it's worse than the symptoms I went through with my anxiety spiral.
