A bit better now!
I'm a bit better now.
Woke up this late morning in pain. As usual.
Then crawled around till at 2 p.m. plus I went to see the doctor, a different one now. At the Tampines Polyclinic. Mum told me to go there.
Okay.
The trouble is I've never been there for donkey years, the last time I was there my mum brought me so I must have been really small that time. And with the progress of technology I bet there were tons of things I didn't catch up with.
And so.
I went there thinking that there's surely a small machine at the registration that I can press to get a ticket number. But there wasn't any machine at the registration room. I walked up all the way to the counters and see none. There weren't many people at that time, so it was pretty embarassing.
In the end the machine was placed opposite the registration room beside a lift. -_-
But hey, the machine is a touch-screen!
I lag.
The auntie at the registration counter checked my record and clarified if it was my first time there and I was like 'uhhhh....' So she guessed that I just haven't been there for a very long time. Bingo.
Doc said the tonsils are back to their usual size but the ulcers are still there. Which means, I'm tonsillitis-free!!
So he gave me Serratiopeptidase (for Hui Shan's reference if she reads haha) and a gargle mixture and an ulcer paste called Oracort E.
That ulcer cream's seriously the problem. Here's a rough look at the condition of my mouth.
Please be mindful that the actual state of my mouth is much more gross than this. So the above shows the four of the ulcers that have been causing my misery. There is one big one further inside my throat but it looks gross that I don't know how to draw it. And several more here and there.
The reason being that the ulcers are all the way there, the doctor suggested using a cotton bud to apply. Well I didn't know the paste/cream/gel is such a stubborn substance. It won't leave the cotton bud! I think it was because the environment in my mouth was too moist.
And after some tries it finally stuck. I tried on the top two ulcers you see above. But the thing is when you use your nose to breathe, the tongue will be pushed up to cover the opening to your oesophagus and that's when I taste the paste. I reckon they were washed away by my tongue as well.
You know, I haven't swallowed since I applied the paste -_- so I'm in a super uncomfortable situation now. Just spitting away the saliva reservoir in my mouth HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Sorry to disclose such information. You chose to read it =P
Oh the insert of the paste said 'For external use only. Do not swallow.' Then why the hell are you being applied in my throat when I'm sure I'm gonna swallow you???? Hmmph.
And to add on to the discomfort it tasted funny. The thing is the area of your tongue where you taste bitter is at the back of your tongue. That's like......where the ulcers and my tongue will meet. Thanks.
