Inner Ear infections are a pain too. I had one and was stuck in bed for a week, feeling like complete stuff, only wanting to sleep. I also went somewhat delusional.
Tonsilitus isn't fun either. I used to get those reguarely (Usually once every summer) But then I had a tonsilectomy, so no more problems. I just wish they took out the tonsils, pickled it in a jar and sent it home with you. I'd love to have my shrivelled Tonsils in a Jar by my bedside.
