I'm no expert but this really doesn't seem like the right solve for falling birth rates.

Permanent Head Damage

[–] xep@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had a peritonsillar abscess and it took a long time to heal up even after the antibiotics. The doctor was proposing that I have my tonsils removed but I decided to wait and see. Supposedly this is a rare complication that can develop after a bad sore throat. I'm really careful about sore throats now.

I can't say I've noticed. I've had a bad cold and one particularly bad throat infection (left it for a week then it was diagnosed as strep throat and fixed with antibiotics, but had lingering symptoms for a long time) that took months to resolve since, but run-of-the-mill colds seem the same to me.

Did you catch Covid? How bad was it, if you did?
