My Throat All of a Sudden
 

Like at about 11AM all of a sudden my throat starting to hurt, like everytime I swallow (please no jokes) its getting worse, anything I can take or do its really hurting

GArgle with hydrogen Peroxide but dont swallow

Dequadin is the shit, and its cheap as hell

sars

I aint joking either it will clean anythinglingering in your throat,

Like the Listirine the yellow one?

do I need a doctor? or can I just pick it up?

its at all drug stores, they are like those little candies you put in your mouth and they numb your throat but they are really good, i always got sore throats living with a bunch of roomates

Nah the shit in the brown bottle. When i have a raspy throat or scrathcy throat i gargel 3 times a day with it and it disinfects any germs or infections

The listerine hasa alcohol in so just gargle with vodka then swallow.

Cock gobbling your roommates?

get some warm water and throw some salt in it.. the salt water will clean it out. and its all natural, and free (assuming you have salt at home) my mom used to make me do it when i was younger. it was gross as hell, but ALWAYS worked.


or a tablespoon of honey with lemon juice on it... :)

I do that too, but its only temporary i think

my mom always had these remidies for stuff.. like when my tummy hurt, she would make me drink a mix of water and baking soda... also sick as all hell, but it always worked.

*sigh* sometimes i really miss her...

just woke my doc up he says im worse then the guy in analyze this but fuck it im dying here

the stuff in the browny/red bottle is called betadine, it works really well for sore throats - pretty sure you can buy it over the counter at most chemists

many have ICQed me that all of a sudden they got the same shit today, im getting worried.

thanks guys for the help!

are you better?

Hrm.. Gargle some salt.. tea with honey will help calm it too.. Motrin or some form of ibuprofin is good too because it's an antiinflammitory and can help take down the swelling from the irritation.. other than that, just rest, sweetie :)

Take a sugar pill, convince yourself it's medicine, and get some rest.

for $20, i'll shoot a wad down your throat :glugglug

im not better and feel even worse

You're a hypochondriac aren't you?

Whats that

yup, it is very icky but warm heavily salted water will knock out most sore throats.

Hope you didnt try ALL those remedies...... you prob have some sort of "toxic shock" syndrome now

I used to be a nurse in a previous life.... take an aspirin and gargle with a little salt water

If it gets worse try a throat spray, we have one you can get over the counter with lignocaine in.... I am sure you can get it in the States as well

SARS :eek7

Let me guess, when you eat food though it doesn't really hurt, right? Warm chicken soup should help and it sounds just like the early signs of the flu. If you get headaches, diarrhea, breathing problems or fever, see doctor ASAP.

Add me to your list..grrrr
im in cali, and i've got it too. started on Sunday.

talked to people in Argentina, Canada and other places..they have it too.

warm water with salt is excellent..alot of over the coutner stuff has alcohol in it..it may kill the germs but will leave it more dry and scratchy than to start.... lemon juice with honey is always good.. lemon juice is my miracle drug....hope you are feeling better soon.

ah, you have the cold the rest of Brooklyn had last week...

Sleep lots, gargle with Listerine and get stoned.

hydrogen peroxide might be dangerous

gargle with baking soda tastes liek shit but helps (dont swallow)

funny u say that many friends are not feeling well now

also u have a deli with good kosher salami?

SARS! somebody had to say it

Last night @ about 9 p.m or so started complaining about his throat being sore. Today he looks like HELL!!! He doesn't want to eat or drink anything. His throat hurts so he won't even swallow his saliva :( He just lets it run down his face :(

My hubby thinks it's strep throat but not too sure so we're taking him to the doc tomorrow. Hopefully he can make things all better for him :)

cold coming on?

last time i had a sore throat i drank a few white russians. was gone the next day :thumbsup

LOL He's 5yrs. old.

I've had a sore throat since Friday. It's getting better, but the first day SUCKED. Couldn't eat or drink.

BTW... instead of getting antibiotics or any of that shit, I did what Juicy suggested above... I gargled with Hydrogine Paroxide (spelling?) dilluted in warm water.

Immediately it started to clear it up.

o. missed that part lol.

sounds like strept...may want to get that looked at cause if it gets really bad, say bye bye to your tonsils:(

If your throat still hurts and nothing will sooth it then there's a good chance that you have "Strep Throat" and the only way to get rid of that is with an anti-biotic from the doctors.

I know that I seem to get that about once a year and it's absolutely HORRIBLE, nothing sooths it. I spent close to $30 on different pills and sprays and medicines, nothing worked. Even eating or drinking wouldn't help it. IF that's how your feeling, head into the doctors because you probably have strep. I ended up going in at 3am in the morning to the emergency room because I couldn't take the pain any longer. It's the worst when you wake up in the middle of the night and try to get back to sleep with it.

AND if you do go in and it is strep throat, take ALL 10 days worth of medicine, I quit after 6 because I was feeling better and it came back, making me go back in for more anti-biotics, ha ha ha.

Seems like what I have. I think a bug is just going around.

yeah everyone in London is complaing about sore throats too. It is that time of year where the weather can be nice for a few days so people go out without coats and get smacked down with a cold because of it.
