Make a teaspoon salt water to drink slowly with warm water - I think it helps to reduce sore n inflammation - throat just feel v dry but not much pain
Afternoon my fever shoot up to 39c , went see doc , took high fever, plus Panadol, augmentine, neuflo - one dose, fever gone by evening . Ths anti biotic must be powerful, feel larthagic , no mood to do other things ....throat ok now, a bit dry, a bit headache

augmentin is a strong antibiotic.
my throat feels dry and starting to feel sore. will prob take neuflo.

For my case, I need to scope every 2 years. Reason is because I kena 2xs of colon inflammation due to poor bowel movement. Also my family has a history.

Yes your prescription of Lacto GG is good. I took this as a long term supplementation, it helps to maintain a healthy bacterial balance in the intestines.

For now till the next 6 months, you can't scope. After this episode, the doctor will call you for a review. Do have a serious talk with the doctor. You can pose your questions to the doctor on the frequency of the scope.

Oh my... 2Xs colon inflammation before? Kena once and now I’m already like half dead. Maybe partly because I’m also taking the Influenza medications on top of the antibiotics. As a result, l’m feeling nauseous and giddy the whole day.

I did ask the doc whether someone like me would have colon inflammation a 2nd time, he said possible as it’s random. He urged that I go for a colon scope so that he can also assess the walls of my large intestine/colon to see if there are bulges/pouches which allow pockets of bacteria to fester.

The clinic scheduled my colonscope for sometime in March, less than 6 months apart. I shall check again to see how long more should I wait before doing a scope.

Regarding LactoGG. I find it very effective. Even though I eat fruits and veges almost daily, I realized what I deemed enough is actually not enough to maintain a healthy bowel.

When go colon scope, the drink they made you drink so that can clear your bowel and so that can take X ray of intestine, is so horrible to drink. Some more, got to drink so big bottle

No choice, need to ensure the intestines are clean and clear

Actually, I’m not afraid of drinking big bottles of the solution.


I’m scared cos a lot of things that could happen will no longer be within my control. What if the colon specialist’s hand is not steady, there is a (1%) chance he may rupture one’s colon wall. Or who knows, overdosed/allergy to sedation and never wake up after the procedure. :nailbite:

we are afraid of things which happen and they are beyond our control.
when I get a panic attack, lots of 'what ifs' pop up in my head.
the only thing we can do is pray...pray very hard that everything will go smoothly.
I hope you recover from your colon infection soon.

Doc say although colon scoping is 99% safe, it is not 100% risk free. :sad:

I left with 2 more days of antibiotics to complete and I can’t stand it anymore. My tongue has turned hairy white and numb, feeling nauseous and giddy all day. Like going thru pregnancy 1st semester

Ya, I guess I have to be more careful with my gut health from now onwards.

Stress and panic attack can cause your ezcema to flare up. You take care too.

[/quote]thanks yl.
I don't know what to say to help you feel better. it's frustrating to have an infection, have antibiotics and face a colon scoping.
symptoms of 1st trimester pregnancy forgotten, but labour part and delivery room still makes me very scared.

lee_yl, dun think too much. Yes scoping also carry risk. Get a good doctor. Check out the credential is normally the first pass. Anyway dun worry so much. After the review, talk to the doctor to arrange for a session with the dietician.
