Sheebs Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 hey everyone this is the ultimate pain reliever if you can choke it down!take a quarter cup of warm water, crush to aspirins in it(acethminaphen), then gargle and swallow.keep in mind this tastes disgusting and will probably make you gag but will instantly stop the pain and relieve swelling. then don't talk and whispering is very bad for the thoart and chords!trust me I'm an expert.

snarfmaster C Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 if your throat is sore, gargle some water with a few drops of tea tree oil in it. if you're coughing or congested, pour some boiling water in a bowl, put a few (5-15) drops of tea tree oil in, put your face over it and cover your head in a towel to keep the steam in. it's pretty intense and hot at first while the tea tree evaporates, but it works so good... rosemary, thyme, and lavender are also good ones to use. a combo is nice too hope you're better!

aromatherapy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Going with the cayenne pepper...apple juice, ginger, lemon, cayenne pepper and respiratonic... all heated up. Tasty but it takes a little while to get through because of all the heat. It'll knock the cold right outta ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThe Owl Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 There is only one cold remedy I swear by. Chinese hot & sour soup. If you live in Ottawa, the best is at Yang Sheng (Somerset and Bronson). Pho is nice, but not nearly as effective.Tequila and lemonade helps...Get well soon, here's a hug of health.

Calamity Jane Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Doctor did not think it was strep (didn't even swab) But prescribed some anitbioctics to totally kick it to the curb. Thanks again for all the advice, and yeah, Sarah, it's ALL about the_____________ I alwalys found sucking on something, works for me. If you know what I mean.

\/\/illy Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 If you're going the anitbiotics route (which, as a pseudo-doctor I would not recommend), I would highly recommend you start taking Lactobacillus as soon as you complete the antibiotics. You need a lot of the bacteria that the antibiotics will kill off. This is especially true as a woman. Take my advice, it's easier to deal with than a yeast infection.You can find Lactobacillus in a cooler in the health food section of your grovery store or probably at any pharmacy. I'm not bluffing; heed what I have to say here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 oh my lovely, loving friends! I love you right back for the love you send!thanks for the concern and advice, Will. Already have lactobacillus in the fridge. I did pause (for a microscecond) on the antibiotics. Last time I took some was intravenously after Leona Mae's birth, and before that....five years previously again. Not something I do often, or wantonly, BUT I have not been THIS sick either for a least a good 5 years, so figured I'd give my system a boost and the bugs a nasty shock.But onto more pressing matters. I had NO idea you were a pseudo-doctor. How cool is that!?! I'm curious and anxious for more of your pseudo-doctorly suggestions. You've never steered me wrong yet!
