My throat is KILLING me! HELP
 

Tomorrow will officially mark that i have been sick for a full week. Ive never had a sore throat hurt this bad before. No matter what little candy things (like halls) i take it is not getting any better. Tylenol helps a bit but you can only take so much.

Tomorrow i am going to an ENT to figure out whats going on. My doctor predicted i would be better by tuesday the latest, and now it's wednesday night.

Does ANYONE have any suggestions? Things that help them? Please im being serious for once.

Thank you

unpasteurized apple cider vinegar.

has it worked for you? i dont want to run out to the store to get this stuff if its a waste of time

What's doctor said about your glands? Perhaps you you should get rid of them. I'm having a similar problem but still have no time for a surgery.

You're going to die soon..a real shame :(

well he said from the first time to the 2nd time i saw him my glands look 90% better but now they are feeling worse..

gargle salt water :thumbsup

that and eat a few spoons full of honey (the liquid kind)

I did that when i first got sick

no honey in the house :Oh crap

gargle salt water and drink tequila

stop swallowing jizz you faggot

I thought I posted this?

TEMPORARY solution, buy any of those throat numbing sprays. They will provide some relief. Normality will return when infection is gone.

pure lemon juice..add a dash of honey or sugar.. warm up for 10 seconds and do it like a shot.. 4-6 times a day.

I havent had a cold in forever and I always do this as soon as I feel a sore throat coming on...been doing this method for 20 plus years.

seriously?

Yeah, those sprays are pretty good. They taste like ass, but they work.

i have the lozangers they are supposed to do the same, they help for a good 10 minutes then the pain comes back

just tried it lets see how it works, it was kind of yummy, i put it in a double shot so i added more honey i found

I have used it for other things and it has worked but not that.

it's KILLING me, anyone else have any suggestions or methods that work for them

Bump please? Anyone else!

I went to the ENT and it turns out i have a sevre tonsil infection :(

Gargle salt + lemon juice a few times a day. Works for me.

you might have strep throat...have you tried the chloraseptic sprays? they numb pretty good....oooo that sucks about the infection...just saw that.....

did they give you anything for it?

gurgle salt water or listerine, usually helps me

seriously, I have been doing this for so long. The only time I got sick was with strept throat..and that was 9 plus years ago.

I dont get colds anymore. My kids and hubby get them and refuse to drink the juice..so they lay there and suffer while I go skiing or snowboarding :thumbsup

To have maximum effectiveness..do this as soon as you feel a sore throat coming on. Stay with it for a few days, doing 4-5 shots a day. (use real lemons..not the juice in the plastic lemon bottle)

Limes work too.

yeah, those work for about 3 mins

pour half a teaspoon of salt with half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper into a cup of warm water and gargle that every couple of hours. That will take away some of the pain.

hot tea......

hot tea......

cheat it... kill yourself first. That'll piss him off.

Yeah... gargling salt water, and eating a couple spoons of honey would work wonders, I think.

Get a friend to bring you over some honey... it's nature's antibiotic.

Stop drinking cold drinks, because it irritates your throat, drink lukewarm water instead.!:thumbsup

Ouchie. Do they still remove tonsils these days?

they put me on some heavy duty steroeids and antibiotics.
they also gave me antiacid stuff so it doesnt effect my stomach...
did i forget to mention i start my job on monday and i was supposed to move into my apartment monday this past week? good times..

apparently not :Oh crap

i would call a friend but it hurts too much to speak

hot tea :)

oh no I don´t like these kind of threads............

Sucks, man... hope you feel better soon.

At least gargle warm salt water until you do.

And stay away from dairy.

Citrus might help, too.... warm citrus.

Soups....

nothing cold.

I have gargled apple cider vinegar with a little cayenne pepper in some warm water and it works. You need to do it at least every hour for a day though.

vit c (6 pills evry 4 hours)

thanks and yeah ive been doing the salt water, helping a bit.
and yeah ive been steering clear of dairy
been drinking juice and stuff i was drinking cold but then i realized that was bad news bears

just go back to your doc and get a new prescription. THey should issue something new.

im on antibiotics and a steroid now

haha... that sucks

wtf :1orglaugh...

Tried Propolis ??

drink some pickle juice straight out of the jar... it will help a little bit :)

Gargling with warm salt water has always helped ease the pain for me....or, try Cepacol throat drops. They are stronger than Halls and seem to numb the pain, temporarily mind you.

Salt water has been helping a bit i think..
all those throat drops are doing nothing i feel like, i have a good 10 different kinds lying around

Go out and pick yourself up some Zicam. I've used it a couple of times and it did seem to work.

I know it won't directly make your throat feel better, BUT it should shorten up your healing time.
