drink whiskey J/K it will make it hurt worse [img]tongue.gif[/img] but do as suggested, the warm salt water does help, I use it alot when I have a sore throat, also...do you still have your tonstles?(SP?) if so, they could be inflamed, not much to worry about then unless it does not go away. [img]smile.gif[/img] hope you feel better [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hope you're feeling better D*Ranged, but if you aren't, do see a doctor. Sounds painful, whatever it is!

I hope you get to feeling better. The last time my throat hurt that way I had mono and strept throat which took like 2 months to heal up. My throat just hurt really bad, but I was well otherwise. So I hope you get to feeling better. Drink a lot of water. It sounds like you had an interesting night. Maybe someday things will get back to normal. (whatever you consider your norm). Have a good day

I don't know what you're talking about Stormy!

Whiskey is good medicine for what ails ya in my book!

Seriously though, ibuprofen in the 600-800 mg range works wonders on sore throat pain. Take some Benadryl and a little hot toddy or other warm strong alchoholic beverage before sleeping. A hot compress under a scarf on the throat also helps.

Certainly sends like a nice case of strep throat. Then again, I'm no doctor, but if it is, you'll be wanting some anti-biotics quickly before it gets out of control.

A short update...
My throat makesit a labour even to speak (apart from whisper) and Im often floored. Lemsip Lozenge doesnt help me with jack (and the Lemsip max sachet helps not much more).

I will go to a doctor tomorrow and get prescription (I have not renewed my community services card...) and rest until next monday at least.
Walking can be a very hard labour (especially uphill) and I cant seem to swallow anything without hurting myself. I WILL gargle with warm saltwater though, and keep taking lozenges and sachets and try to get rests.

Well get to a Doctor ASAP. Furthermore, don't overuse the medicine. If it isn't doing anything to begin with, taking more might not make it better, in fact, it can get worse. And please when you find out a diagnosis, do tell.

I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't see a doctor of course. I was assuming you had a standard viral cold. Bacterial infections can be quite dangerous and a throat culture should be done to determine if antibiotics (the miracle drugs) will help.

Still a bit sore, but got MUCH better after lending a herbal tea from a flatmate.

Hot/warm drinks helps A LOT.
I will NOT take lozenges any more, they have proven to be a wasteof time and energy (to suck).
Also saltwater gargle made it better (BUT DAMN!!! It hurt a first few times...)

Anyways, thanks guys.
