By the sound of it you're in a very early stage. I think in a week you should be passed it.

I kid you not...

SLEEP...get at LEAST 8-10 hours a night, and then naps during the day...

I know it sounds awful and boring, but sleeping and laying around doing absolutely nothing is how I got over having pneumonia...

And if you start coughing, Robitussin DM. I repeat, DM...it works the best.

This coming from someone who gets sick a lot...

Good luck!!!

I second what ash said. Sleep is good when youre getting sick.

I third that!

You should take some air borne(sp). When I though I was getting sick right before high school swimming regionals I took some. I felt so much better and I swam really well. I also agree with everyone above me that sleep is good for you when you are sick or are getting sick.

SLEEP!
Drink fluids like water & stuff.
If your throat starts bothering you more, get some cough drops.
Also, I'd like to add, sometimes you get that feeling in your throat for a day or two, but it's nothing more.

Hope you get better

thanks guys!!

i slept really late today (11:00 is VERy late for me lol. I'm an early riser)

My glands aren't as swollen anymore, but I still have a ickle in my throat.
Hopefully with drinking lots of water I can get passed that.


I don't want to jinx anything but I don't think it'll get any worse that this (knock on wood)

I agree just rest and have a good sleep hopefully you'll be better before you go to Florida
