Peritonsillar Abscess:(

January 18th, 2013 at 01:33 am


That's what DH has. He's had a sore throat off and on, but no temperature. After several days of misery and nights of interrupted sleep, we went to the "Take Five Clinic" at Walgreens. After 1.5 hours there, we were sent to the Urgent Care associated with the local hospital. This was because the peritonsillar abscess needed to be further evaluated. After 3.5 hours at the urgent care and a CT scan and bloodwork, it was confirmed that it was indeed a peritonsillar abscess (to the surprise of the old doctor who said it most likely wasn't because of no fever, and of course started the rule out talk). So from there, DH went to the ENT and was placed on heavy duty steroids for the next 5 days and an antibiotic for 10.

We have a very quiet house right now with DH recuperating. Thank goodness my girls are old enough to deal with dinner and homework of the younger ones. This yielded me another $25 gift card for groceries.

Spent at grocery store: $67 (covered in totality by gift cards). I also made $25 walking my mom's dogs.

    Oh my, I just googled it. That sounds very painful. I am very glad there are medications that can help him.

    ugh - my brother had that or something very similar a few years ago. has it ruptured yet? it was not fun, but once it ruptured, he quickly healed. has DH had this before? watch for breathing difficulty if it swells more before rupturing. hope your DH feels better soon!
