Military Ball tomorrow and I still have a sore throat!

I like taking airborne, although I’m not sure if it really helps or not. I think it does. And get some rest!

Lather your neck with the Vicks vapor rub and put a nekerchief around it. . . . avoid talking… avoid cold drinks… suck up some vitamin c tablets.

Skip the tylenol and take Advil or aspirin. And stick to warm liquids. I’m a an of tea with honey and lemon, but I don’t know if they’re necessary.

oooh that traditional medicinals ‘throat coat’ tea is rad.

and fisherman’s friend lozenges!

No hot liquids! This is not congestion and cold, this is a sore throat. Your throat is probably inflamed, and cool/cold liquids will help take down swelling. If you have a high fever you might have strep. If you have no fever, you will most likely only have a sore throat for 48 hours, then you will get several hours of a reprieve, and then your congestion will start, leading into a full blown cold. No guarantees, but this is usually the case. If your sore throat goes away, bring some decongestants with you in case it starts up during the evening. I would also recommend taking some ibuprofen to feel better throughout the evening.

Listerine!! Gargle before and after bed. Works like a dream for me.

Gargling is great for a sore throat. Are you running a fever? Could you have strep?

Get shitfaced. If it doesn’t help atleast you had fun while attempting to solve the problem.
