I'm not coughing that bad, but my throat feels like I swallowed glass. I'm taking am antibiotic and NyQuil, but I had to have something for the actual pain. I don't know who bought these nasty bastards, but they are helping. But I have to slow down. I don't have many left, and I sure don't feel like running out and getting more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the way to our son's soccer game Tuesday afternoon, and my throat started getting scratchy. I think as soon as my laundry gets done, I'm going to take a nap. I just feel worse today than I did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I like the honey lemon. Menthol works well too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually had any luck with cough drops My go to is some ice cream, the cold reduces the swelling of my throat and it's fucking tasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If you get really (and I mean REALLY) desperate for some relief, see if any local drugstores have "Father John's Medicine". Disco will have to promise to force you to take it after the first dose. The stuff works, but I never knew if it was because the medicine was that good, or because it tasted so terrible I mentally forced myself not to cough so I wouldn't have to taste that crap again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Some tea or warm water with lemon and honey is also great for sore throats. Or check out this stuff called Throat Coat. It's medicated tea. It'll numb your throat up but it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same active ingredient that's in every otc cough medicine, dxm. And one hell of a recreational trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I need something that will numb the heck out of my throat. What I have isn't working. Last night I had a 103 temperature. I was freezing but sweating all night. Temp is down to 99 this morning. But my throat still feels like i swallowed glass. I am taking an antibiotic, Hall's drops, NyQuil, Ibuprofen. I mean, that's what I have here at home, and I am not going out for more supplies. I tried to eat a bowl of tomato soup last night. Big mistake. I didn't have any chicken noodle soup, but I was thinking soup is soup, and I was wrong. So, for those who like me, did not know that tomato soup will put you on your knees when you have a sore throat, DO NOT EAT IT! I feel like crap still, but I am forcing myself to stay upright, or at least not lying down all day, like I did yesterday. Any more suggestions, not med related that I can do? I hate leaving the burden of the house on disco alone, and need to get better asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Go retro and gargle with salt water. Not sure of the amount of salt to water, but it's what I had to do as a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Guess I have strep. But I usually don't feel this bad when I have strep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
