I've got ulcers all along the thin line on my lips that seperates the 'inside' texture from the outside one. Someone that looks inside my mouth wouldn't like it, it's developed very quickly too, most things appeared from thursday to friday yesterday. It evolves quickly once it already looks bad, but it takes a damn while before it actually starts to look bad. Even on wednesday and most part of thursday, I didn't have much of a clue besides that my gums started hurting and my tonsil was swollen. My tonsil started getting swollen on sunday, and I mouth washed like I was told. Monday was almost the same. On tuesday, it's during dinner that it seemed to start hurting really. I tried to contact my parents but it didn't seem to be all that bad judging from what I read about it. I was a bit tired and thought I was fighting the worst of it my swollen tonsil only. At that time I only had one ulcer on my lip. I was alerted on wednesday because that's when my gums hurt even when I was not eating. Having swollen gums with a swollen tonsil seemed a bit logical since they're near and I've read it occurred. I tried contacting my family after I woke up really late and realized it wasn't worth buying bus tickets and waiting on hospital chairs in the emergency room all night. I felt a few ulcers in my cheek but it wasn't that bad. Thursday, I took an appointment at the clinic, didn't wait too long 130-2 hours and got home, took my first pills at 6 PM. It hurt really bad when I was there waiting. Sleeping began to be tricky because I had to take care of my tonsil not to squeeze it too much and my now swollen cheek that would push on my teeth, the ulcers had started to spread on my bottom lip and one bastard between my two rows of teeth, getting squeezed when I close my mouth. I also started not being able to open my mouth that much during the evening. Everything progressed into a matter of a couple of hours. During that day I started to resign myself not to eat that much because anything consistent was impossible to eat, I even tried gum and I couldn't chew. I bought some yogurt and jello on that day. Oh and got sick 3 times too, I think it was because of the amount of salt I used to wash my mouth and the baking soda I used on my ulcers. Seemed afterwards that I felt sick anytime I would taste salt, so I decided to mouthwash a little less until I could not get sick and eat at least a little. Friday, I was exhausted of my night because I couldn't sleep and the painkillers didn't work. I did my best and took care of myself, felt the pain like I described on the other posts, like it was so mentally tiring after maybe 3 full days of hurting and it was at its peek. Had my share of fevers too but I don't remember when they started exactly. I was cold sensitive during the day, which I normally am. But at night I would sweat a lot and that's the more abnormal part.. although I can't tell if it started on tuesday or wednesday.. There's always a part when it feels better, like I'm doing better and try to drink a lot and such, but eventually it gets worse, I have a hard time opening my mouth and it hurts a lot. My tongue started hurting a lot too, I have like.. pimples or whatever on it. The shape is not straight like usual and it's becoming grayish in color. I even called a service here that allows me to talk to a nurse and although I told her about all those alarming sings that even some of them developed after I've seen the doctor, she told me to take the meds and wait. Gave me a few advices in to eating. Especially when I sleep, I can't drink as much and I feel the infection starting to spread back again. I think my first tactic of sleeping 1-2 hours, being awake 1-2 hours and so on was better, but I'm starting to feel more awake now and don't sleep as much during the day. There's a lot of up and downs in one day, I hope to see a real progress in the next days. I got the not-so-bad painkillers and the first pill I took had the best effect, I almost felt good from being freed from the heavy pain. It came back and I have to wait 6 hours between each time I take them. When I did at night, I took 2 and still had a hard time sleeping, but eventually did. Oh and I didn't mention the pills are supposed to make me drowsy Saturday, today, I took the painkillers again 1 hour ago and I'm doing fine, I hope it'll last a good while. Usually it's the last 2 hours before I can take more that are the hardest. I can feel the infection in the taste of my mouth and I hope it'll go. The ulcers on my lips seem to be close to being done soon, so I hope they'll be gone because they are giving me a hard time to drink. See how the evolution got quickly? I can't believe it myself. Anyway, I go back to taking care of myself.
