Sore Throat.

[Lil_Tink]

I have a sore throat ands 99.9 temprature but feel pretty good. Just a little tired and its hard to swallow.

 

[Lil_Tink]

Any Reconmendations?

I would say...Gargle with warm, salt water ...take a Tylenol and get a good nights sleep. If it isn't anything worth worrying about...it will be gone by morning!

 

[Lil_Tink]

Ok. .Good idea

 

[nwdisgal]

Have a good dinner and get to bed early.

Gargling with hot salt water helps me when I have a sore throat. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Feel better!

I hate to sound like doom and gloom but that's the way the cold I STILL have started. The sore throat, which was one of the worst I can ever remember, lasted about 2 days. Then the sneezing started. Then we got to do the bronchitis boogie. It will be 2 weeks on Wednesday since this all started and I'm still coughing like crazy. So listen to your body and if you start to feel bad, go to the doctors.

Yep, warm salt water gargle is the best. I like to follow up with a good dose of Nyquil (which will make you sleep) and turn in early. Hope you feel better.

I also agree with the warm salt water! Eat well, plenty of fluids, and rest! Hope you feel better soon.

Never heard of salt water...have to try that. I say get a dose of nyquil and go to bed. Thats what I do. ((hugs)) hope you feel better soon.

My son woke up with a sore throat today.
then my SIL says she has strep throat and has been around the kids for the past week.

So strep is out there this early

I have had a sore throat for about a month! I get them really frequently. Luckily not as bad as yours sounds. Though I seem to have a very slight fever on and off. Doctor told me I had something wrong with my tonsils, he didn't come out and say I had tonsillitis, just some sort of damage that made me sore throat prone. He said I could have them taken out.....I just can't imagine my DH coping with me out of action for an hour, let along for surgery. I would have to make sure they did it in the morning so I could get back to pick up DS5 from school and get the dinner on!!

Seriously though...hot drinks. I use an English medicine called Lemsip, which is a dissolvable drink you put in hot water, I think you can get similar stuff here in US (tastes awful though!) Hard candy to suck on is good, there are some really tasty ones about, not those awful menthol ones. Why is everything cherry flavored..yuk! Salt water is good, but bear in mind it can also be used to make you throw up, so tread carefully with that one, and don't swallow!! Feel better soon

 

[cheerbop]

I agree...VERY warm almost hot salt water...gargle...and REST! Don't forget the fluids and maybe a Tylenol. This is what my Doc prescribed me recently.

feel better!

Pineapple is good for your throat also. Strep is going around my DD just had it.

My DS has drank so much hot chocolate today ..
It seems to make him feel better ,I thought he would want something cold with a sore throat but NO it had to be hot chocolate

In addition to gargling with warm salt water, try sniffing it up your nose and spitting it out. It will help rinse out whatever is causing a drip if this is what is making your throat sore.

 

[Lil_Tink]

I feel a little better, I am hoping it's not Tonsillitus. One the web site I consulted, it showed that you have white stuff and I don't.. I think I should go to the doctor..

I had a fever so came home from school and rested. I plan on eating then going to sleep.
