Yeah, well this is the second flare up in as many months, but this time it's really bad... If it keeps happening, I'm definitely getting my tonsils removed. It's not extraordinary surgery.
The novacaine is so nasty though. I'm supposed to gargle a teaspoon then swallow, every 2 hours. I can only use it when I'm in extreme pain, because it almost induced instant vomitting both times I took it so far. It works great, but the first five minutes are near death...
