I don't know WHEN it's going to let up! My throat has been killing me for days. Had it checked. Negative for Strep. But just icky here. Today I'm down to not talking (everyone gape) b/c my throat hurts so bad.
Zhen, you'll be excited to hear I've tried downing those lozenges you like by the bagful (slight exaggeration). But seriously have been trying lots of remedies. I'm looking into a throat-ectomy. I don't know what that's called but I'm sure there's a name for it somewhere. Probably has unpleasant side-effects, though. That's western medicine for ya.
Really..
And haven't slept very well for the same several days b/c of the pain. Wait 'till early in the morning to go to bed (thinking that I'll wait for my throat to stop hurting to go to sleep). And then wake up 3 hours later in pain. This is in spite of overdosing on various western meds, btw. (not a lot - just a little). But to no avail.
So far ice cream is the most potent remedy. Though the most recent bowl I had let me down. That's kind of a bummer.
So I just hope this clears up soon (tonight would be good).
Poor Cody - he's in as bad a shape as I am only his symptoms are different.
I'm this close to creating a garlic paste and just smearing it on the back of my throat. Yeah, that would probably hurt like hell, though. I mean heck. OH that would hurt ^^
alrighty.. where's that ice cream...

a herb called pang da hai is pretty neat for sore throats and makes a nice sweet tea too!
ReplyDeletego get some jin yin hua, ju hua and pang da hai and you will have a nice sweet sore throat relieving tea...burdock too is good.
otherwise try honey and peppermint or something...wow i haven't had a sore throat for ages i forget! whatever the case AVOID sticky sweet stuff like chocolate...duh! serves you right for eating chocolate when sick...
are you makin' all those words up? =P
ReplyDeleteyeah, I ate a lot of chocolate at first. I haven't had a sore throat for a long time, either, interestingly enough. And fortunately for me - since that is my least favorite symptom.
Anyway, knock on wood, seems to be lightening up a bit.
Sorry : (
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon.
workin' on it ♥
