long ago and far away, "Jane" <jarsenal66nospam@hotmail.com> did say:

Hey can't find the beginning of your sore throat thread so I'll take a cue
from Gravity and start a new one.

I gargle with warm salt water.... it usually kills any bacteria that
might
be forming, and drink really warm honey tea. Also hot hot hot baths, the
steam will relax the throat, something I learned from singing with a group
many years ago. Oh and if you have any Vicks vapor rub, put a small
amount
on the neck where it hurts, that also relaxes the throat. Should you not
have that, ben gay/icy hot or something like that will do. Or a big swig
of
alcohol for a last resort.

hot tea and hot showers i've been doing and it's been helping. i
ventured into the world of hot gatorade but boy was that a big
mistake!

my biggest problem is sleeping. i need to find somewhere to set up my
humidifier near my bed. that might help. it's really dry in my
bedroom.

my tonsils are so angry.
