"i have been suffering from tonsillitis for 5 days, my tonsils were extremely swollen and full of pus. i could not swallow without excruciating pain. i went to my primary care doctor and got a dose of toradol. along w/ iv fluids, antibiotics and steroids. within 45 mins my throat was about 60% less painful. by the end of the day i could swallow completely without any pain. i&#039;m sure both the iv and toradol played parts in this, but i believe the toradol was the extra punch i needed."
