This happened to my dad a few weeks ago. It was an infection in his mouth. They gave him antibiotics and a pile of lolly ice sticks. He had to keep adding sticks each day to prize his mouth open again. Very painful I believe. Definitely ring NHS or go to A&E.

Hopefully I make this reply to late, and you are already at A&E. If not. Get there, get there now.

Go to A&E .

 

[Twodogs]

And again ,,,,Go to A&E

 

[kaiAnderson]

go down pub

 

[sausage100uk]

dont go to a&e - go to your gp in the morning.

 

[rik_uk3]

Go to A&E, your treatment will be quicker than your GP...get off your backside and go now.

No offence and I dont want to get into an argument but that sort if thinking is why theres such a problem in out a&e's. The clue is in the name accident and emergency, it isnt the former, and the fact that the OP was well enough to come on here first would suggests it isnt the latter. Your GP WILL be able to see you or at least discuss it with you on the same day and more importantly refer you on to the appropriate specialist if necessary. Much more appropriate than being seen by a junior Dr in a&e after a significant wait and drain on limited resources.

No point in going the pub, unless you got a straw lol

...or you could go to a genuine doctor.... Go to A&E

 

[wingstoo]

Or go to the hospital and try the GP Unit... Or get triaged and leave the decision to them.

Is in infectious?, could do with the missus having a dose so I could get some peace around here

Seriously though if your happy to diagnose yourself on line why not dig a bit further and find the solution online?

I would have gone to the doctors first thing myself but each to their own
