tonsillitis/pharyngitis
"Had a nasty case of tonsillitis that I was given penicillin for initially.  After two days my symptoms had worstened and Dr gave me clarithromycin.
After just one tablet I began to feel better quickly. That evening I was able to manage a bowl of soup,  that morning I was struggling with sips of water.  Horrendous wind two days into week course, like a chemical smell.  Then third and fifth day quite a bad case of diarrhoea with same chemical odour. No stomach pains and liveable with due to being effective as an antibiotic!
Pain completely gone now upon swallowing.  Yawning and sneezing still very painful and can still feel lump when swallowing. Ears, glands and neck still sore but still have two days still to take.
Have a nasty taste in mouth."
