Hoping for a speedy recovery! By the way did you use any prophylactic or early treatment protocols (eg FLCCC) in the lead up and during infection?

So before the tonsillitis my symptoms were extremely mild. A slight tickle in my throat aside from a weird sudden fever that came on within minutes and mostly disappeared overnight.

I'm working on a piece on Omicron therapeutics and will cover a few things there. Personally, most of the stuff I used were the supplements such as melatonin, D3, C, Quercetin, and Zinc/Magnesium. I did also routine use nasal sprays and I already use mouthwash as part of my toothbrushing routine. I had some family members who had flu-like illnesses with congestion and the whole cough/sneeze set of symptoms who were also vaxxed/boosted but didn't take supplements. There's a lot of variables so it's hard to fully discern what helped with what.

Several of my family members also got a severe sore throat with Omicron. I don’t think the tonsillitis is a separate illness

So I didn't realize it but I've had tonsillitis with prior infections and I'm known to get bad sore throats from even a coughing/sneezing fit, so it is likely that COVID caused my tonsillitis although it likely would occur with any other illness as well. Do you know if they got tonsillitis? I've heard of many people getting bad sore throats but tonsillitis is an evil beast of its own!

Well, I'm both glad and horrified that there's someone I can empathize with! If I had to choose to get tonsillitis or get my leg broken I feel like it's a pretty easy choice at this point! Luckily it's mostly gone although the nightly flare ups are still a problem but hopefully will go away within a few days!

Yupp! Unfortunately it seems that will still be a dirty word for many, even though even millions more Americans will get the big N.I. with Omicron!
