Strep

[1369]

So, if you have a case of strep (which I do) and you go to the doc in a box with a 102 fever (which I did) and they offer with your prescription antibiotics a batch of liquid Lidocaine to gargle with so it doesn't feel like you're trying to swallow an SOS pad, go ahead and pass on the gargle. That stuff is like someone rendered a dead hog that had been laying in the summer heat for a month, ate by a buzzard and yakked back up only to be eaten up by a coyote and later squatched off a cliff from where it's bottled and shipped to your local pharmacist. Stuff has the consistency of Karo syrup. How am I supposed
to "gargle" THAT for five minutes?

Our 3 kids (all girls) got Strep last week. They have chugged their medicine so fast I had to try it.


Maybe try wearing some Hello Kitty shirts and socks instead of your Crossfit wifebeater and combat boots and they will give you the sweet meds?

Quite a visual. Be sure to film the entire visit to the doc.

I nearly lost my left leg to what they said was "strep", or at least that's what they called it after 5 days of coming in and looking at it. Finally busted open and drained the 5th. night and pain finally subsided. I didn't realize "strep" would effect other areas of the body like that.

Trad "doc" 53... you sure they said strep or Staff..

Great, piling on the sick guy.

Now THAT'S the old TBH I remember.

I like the Hello Kitty idea though...

Strep infections can be really nasty, when it's resistant to common (or all) antibiotics. Google MRSA.

Hah, you picked the wrong doc.

I went to the emergency clinic in Llano with a tonsil the size of a golf ball.

He gave me a shot that made it impossible to sit on my right cheek for three days and some bubble gum flavored antibiotics in liquid form.

Took about five days for the swelling to go down, but I kept drinking the kids' stuff till it was all gone

Lidocaine....mix it down with mouth wash or cool aid or anything ..... you can even nebulize it if you have a machine.
