Infections Coming Back

Jess M

Hi. I'm new here. I have Autism and anxiety, and I'm not sure if it's linked but I get ill a lot especially with infections in my throat and mouth. I've had what I guess is tonsillitis for like 5 months now, it's never ending. I take over the counter stuff, throat soreness goes but the tonsils and back of my mouth remain red and enflamed never goes. I do get low and I read this can cause you to get sick but it is annoying. I feel constantly unwell with this, have awful headache and keep getting dizzy and am terrified I'll end up in hospital. Doctors and hospital are my biggest fears and I'll avoid them at all costs.

  • If I was you I would get in touch with your GP and discuss this with them. It sounds like it's affecting you badly now and it has been happening on and off for some time so it might need some strong antibiotics to finally give it that final shove. I totally understand your fears of doctors, I have the same fear, absolutely terrified of doctors, hospital and anything medical.. I end up having shutdown when at such places. But if you give them a call they can probably just talk to you over the phone and give you a prescription based on symptoms. Mine have done this since COVID-19 which is far better for me.

    I hope you start to feel better again soon lovely.
