Daughter In Hospital Bacterial Throat Infection
39 Answers
My daughter had to be taken into hospital this morning, with a nasty throat infection. She felt her throat was closing up and couldn't breath properly. She's never known such a sore throat. Like swallowing glass.
Doctor has put her on a stronger antibiotic intravenously, after initially being given Pencillin, also steroid, and anti sickness drug.. She has been so poorly. Doctor said if no I.provement tomorrow, they will put camera down throat, as it's probably gone deep. I'm so worried about her. Can anyone put my mind at rest?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have had tonsillitis before it is extremely painful and uncomfortable makes you want to rip your throat out it is so uncomfortable but it is pretty much harmless and will pass i think this shows how sensitive that area of the body is hopefully the situation isnt as bad as how your daughter feels but instead due to the part of the body that is very sensitive it can feel worse i wish all the luck for her and you
At this stage.......no big deal and will probably br improved by tomorrow morning.
The only "fly in the ointment " is if she has developed acute epiglottitis which could impair her breathing.
Only the next 24 hours of observations will define that diagnosis.
If in the unlikely situation she has developed epiglottitis then she will need incubating.
She is on the correct medical regime and the estimated 24 hours will answer all your questions.

my daughter who is now 18 had the same this time last year she was kept in hospital overnight given antibiotics and was kept in for observation but she is now ok but I'm still not entirely sure what caused it .
my first thought was mumps as very similar symptoms but tested twice and negative
hope your daughter gets well soon
