Sore Throat

[BeautifulSilence]

I dunno what has brought it on, but my throat was feelin' sore earlier.

Now. I CANNOT talk at all. This is a good thing for those who know me... But GRRRR!

I wouldn't mind but, I have to go to school tomorrow, and I'm the girl that the teachers always direct questions at.

Also, in my house, we only communicate through shouting. And that's not always arguments... My mother likes to stand downstairs, while I'm upstairs and ask questions.

I have NO money. I can't go out and buy throat lauzinges or whatever. I need a suggestion to relieve my pain fast, with stuff I probably already have.

I'd be happy with a placebo, tbh. Just don't tell me it's a placebo.

HELP ME PEOPLES! And thank you :)

EDIT: Some background information about sore throats and how to prevent or whatever could be nice, from you know-it-alls :)

Hot water, with lemon and honey if you have it actually does help. In fact, drink hot stuff, no matter what it is.

But yes, hot water, lemon, and honey are a great mixture for helping sore throats. ^_^ (It works for me anyway).

Oh, and lettuce. Eat lots of lettuce. :p (Not a placebo, I swearz!!1)

[MysticalBurrito]

O.o lettuce?

anywho try some tea like he said
or try not to use your voice that much and one thing that helps me alot is ice and honey with lemon cold and tasty but i think warm stuff is better for you or something like that anyway hope you get better soon

Awwwww...poor Laura! here's a big, warm smile, tell me how that works.

Other than that, take a couple of tylenol, some hot tea with lemon and honey and a piece of dark chocolate.

Some people gargle with warm salt water, some people take a loooong nap (like until June when it's warm outside!).

Sore throats are usually really at their worst for the first day or two, so by tomorrow you might be back in action.

Awww......

1. simply shut up :P Yeah i know teachrs like to call on ya, but usually if you tell 'em you're sick (or try to talk and can't be heard..) they'll leave you mostly alone

2. as has been said, the lemon juice + tea + honey (or even sugar... but thats a given..) actually works.

3. Weird.. but COLD THINGS MAKE IT WORSE.


'sall i have to say.. and perhaps find some cold medicins if you have it

[BeautifulSilence]

Thank yee, peeps :D

I can talk! My throat is very slightly sore, still. But Ithink I have a little bit of a cold tbh... I think a sore throat's usually how mine start off, anyways.

I shall remember this advice for the next time!
