for two days now I’m dealin with the pain that comes with swallowing. I actully started doin a lil count down before swallowing to brace myself. Let’s see, gargle with warm salt water didnt help, motrin didnt’ help, warm liquid were a temproary fix. Right now I’m using this sore throat spray for kids and it’s actully proving a little effective but I think even that is a temporary fix. hopefully it heals soon.
Re: argh the sore throat is killin me
Take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain, gargle with warm salted / aspirin water. Sounds like u need antibiotics for infection, get some, fast!
Re: argh the sore throat is killin me
quit wasting time with otc meds and home remedies and just go to a doc.
OOOOOOOOOOOH, I feel your pain. I remember 2 years ago, I had what I consider the mother of all throat inflammations. It was NASTY. The doctor told me it was Bronchitis. I think I can eloquently put into words what you're feeling. For me, it felt like I had needles lodged in my throat. You know, it actually hurt to swallow........MY OWN FREAKING SPIT!!!!!!!!!! And I could even taste the sour taste of inflammation caused by the white sores in my red throat. YUCKY!!!! Hopefully, your condition isn't as bad as mine. But, MAN I couldn't even sleep!
The doctor prescribed this super gross medicine to numb the throat pain. I forget what it was called, but I will never forget what it looked like. It was a clear round bottle containing this transparent slimy mucous-thick snot-resembling fluid. I think the bottle came with a nozzle and I was supposed to apply it in my mouth.....kinda like the spray you're using. Except the medicine was soooooooo thick, that it took sooo long just to move out. So I applied it to the sores in my mouth using a a q-tip. Thankfully it had a slightly minty taste that somewhat numbed the stinging sensation in my throat. Yeah....don't miss those days at all. Sorry, for the above description. Couldn't resist it.
Drink plenty of fluids. Hope you feel better soon:)
