The Sick Thread
 

Ahem. Being the Hypo that I am, I think this is a good place to talk about remedies for stuff. I live in a dorm with very little clinical help around, so, i'm just going to ask you guys :D


I have a sore throat. Hot tea didn't help at all. Any suggestions?

here's what i do ..

i crawl onto a pile of blankets under the stairs in the dark and don't let anyone near me.

wait - that's the cat.


but seriously - i almost do that... i just ride everything out ..
lots of sleep. nothing cures the cold/flu you just have to endure it.

just watch movies to take your mind off of it.

Cold-Eeze = God.

Try some honey. It's pretty good for sore throats.

Hot water with lemon and honey - that's what singers use for their throats.

I don't have any honey :(

Well go out and buy some! It's not too hard to find.

Gatorade + extra blankets. Seriously dude, hydration + rest helps me through everything. You'll sweat a lot, but that's a good thing.

Eat zinc and drink lots of fluids. Hot tea with honey would definitely help a sore throat or try gargling with warm salt water (don't swallow it though!).

Hope you feel better. :)
