Sore Throat Remedies?

[FallingToFly]

they wouldn't give ME ice cream after I got my tonsils out! Only POPSICLES! I was SO mad... I told my dad he had to leave my room because he was the one who told me I'd get ice cream (guess they were still doing ice cream when he was a kid!) I think I was 7??

Lucky- I got my tonsils out, and all I could have were ice chips for the first twenty-four hours, and my glucose tablets for the hypoglycmia. So, I had to fast for 24, was out on the anesthesia for 24 (it was only supposed to be six, but meds like that fuck me up BAD) and then couldn't have anythign but ice chips for 24... with hypoglycemia. I was light-headed, weak, nauseated and couldn't stand up... and I was pissed.

I got a friend to smuggle in a Checkers cheeseburger and fries with a LARGE coke on the side- I didn't give adamn how bad it hurt to eat, at that point, I was eating.

I never got ice cream, either. Just orange jello and poached eggs!

Grandma's Cure

Sorry you're not feeling good.

Grandma used to brew a cup of strong black tea (two tea bags). She'd add a Teaspoon of honey and a shot of brandy.

If it didn't work right away, she'd make you another. And another. By then I didn't care anymore. Usually it did help my throat. I still use to this day.

I just can't believe that no one has been a wise guy and suggested the obvious sore throat treatment ....

When I was a kid the doctor gave us these horrible tasting pink capsules that contained salt and iodine. You dissolved them in hot water and gargled with it. Absolutely the worst tasting stuff I've ever encountered but it worked. Haven't seen them in years, though. I have no idea if you could put a couple drops of iodine in warm salt water to get the same effect or not.

Iodine!? Blech!

I find that a blowjob is good for a sore throat.
If I have a sore throat, I get the wife to give me a blowjob.
It doesn't cure it, but I feel better for it.

so should I GIVE one to make MY throat feel better?

Well Rogue was right... I should have gone to the doc... strep throat, two ear infections and a sinus infection later... I'm on a stronger (FULL!) course of antibiotics...

and speaking of bitter pills to swallow... They gave me augmentin and these pills are HUGE! They're like horse pills! ACK! I'm supposed to swallow these with a sore throat!?!?

And the doctor yelled at me. But she was adorable... I thought I should ask her if I needed a spankin'...

Then you'd need to ask if it was OK to take pictures for your friends.

The body is an expert of healing itself. You don't really need to do anything, it will heal eventually. The absolutely best thing to do is to sleep. Not only does it give your body a chance to concentrate full power on healing instead of wasting it on everyday chores, but it also make the boring sickdays go by faster.

Trust me, I'm a Swede. A Swede with a flu, a sore throat, and no voice.

Sleep is your friend...
