Im in agony. I can't eat or drink even though im pregnant. There is an ulcer on my uvula that fills the whole thing and my tonsils have pus on them. I can't believe how much it hurts. I can't get into the doctors until Monday morning. Is there anything I can do to take the pain away thats pregnancy friendly?

    Gargle with some soluble paracetamol.

    To be honest - if you aren't able to eat or drink - you need to be calling out of hours docs if you are upduffed as you really need to be keeping eating/drinking for you and the baby.

    Poor you.

    I have - it swelled to 3 times the size of normal and ulcerated - grim.

    The only thing i could swallow was <whispers> McDonalds vanilla milkshake.

    Get thee to the out of hours drs. You may need antibiotic, steroids to gargle, local anesthetic spray - pregnancy permitting, natch.

    You poor thing - you should do as Zoay (and others - sorry others, forgot who posted) says and get to the Out of Hours service.

    Thanks for your replies. Zoay, thats how mine is. I've never seen an ulcer so big. It actually doubled in size yesterday. I tried a McDonalds milkshake earlier but chocolate. It was very painful to start with but was less painful as it started to numb. Im just trying to eat a yogurt, it hurts but I can live with it. Ive had a bit of water too. I'll take some paracetomol in a minute.

    If swallowing pills is too much for you, you might want to consider Calpol?
