Oh man, that really sucks. Infections are really hard to get rid of. I had a three (!) throat infections in a row back in 2006 or 2007, because I discontinued my antibiotics too early. Don't make the same mistake! I hate taking antibiotics as well, but sometimes they are necessary. And it's no fun spending three months with a throat infection. :(
So be a good girl, take your medication and get well soon! *huggles* Oh, and a throat infection is a great way for convincing your mom that you need large quantities of ice cream. Works wonders for body and soul. ;)
