I am trying to be all calm and zen but -
I really really need my voice to be in great working order for tomorrow night, and my throat has been sore all day. :o
Is there anything I can do??? Keep my fluids up? Go to bed early? Medicine?
Or, if I have the sore throat, is it too late?
And if that's the case, what are the quick fixes I can do to make sure I'm okay tomorrow night?? Panadol? Hot lemon tea? Lozenges?
This is so stressful and annoying!!! Argh! :doh:
hmm...think your at it's mercy :hide:
But i'd be trying all the things you suggested already :)
Hope you feel better soon hun. xx
Strepsils do a good Zinc Lozenge, it's in a purple packet. Excellent because the zinc goes straight onto your throat. Well worth a shot xoxoxo
honey and apple cider adn warm water- lots of it
xoxox
Zinc Fix is excellent. If your throat is rough feeling try hot milk and honey.
So zinc. What's Zinc fix? Is it worth trying cold and flu tablets? I need to hit this HARD. I cannot be sicker tomorrow!!
You can get the really strong throat lozenges with a local anaesthetic. They are great for the very sore throat, but way to strong to take for mildly sore one. They may help get you through tomorrow night.
I might have to head to a chemist tomorrow and explain my situation. Friggin throat, costing me money! I hope I get better tonight and don't have to worry about it!
The anesthetic ones will wreck my voice, but I think I will grab some as a last resort.
hot lemon and honey...may not work, but it does give you warm and fuzzies...
i too would go for the lozenges with the anaesthetic stuff if the honey doesnt do the trick...
Go to the health shop and ask for Zinc Fix. It is a orange flavored powder that you can gurgle for your sore throat.
oh yeah and try to stop talkign LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Make some sage tea (sage leaves in hot water basically) and gargle it (don't swallow as it is awful tasting).
I always find the betadine gargle good for sore throats.. Taste gross, but kills off the bugs in there, and then you can use throat lozenges to soothe the area
