Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Nabeela]

I got a sore throat, and it's getting worse by the minute, my voice is starting to change, and I can't seem to be able to swallow anything. :(

I have tried gargling with warm salt water, but didn't help much. Is there anything I should be doing other then drinking lots of fluids and plenty of rest? any advice? And no I rather not see a doctor.

It may be acid reflux, avoid eating before going to sleep or drinking tea.

Hope you feel better!

U might be coming down with Strep Throat, a nasty infection. See a doc immediately since it is very contagious

Are you having any productive coughs ? Or is it a dry cough ?

[HELWAA]

Eat honey.

[ORGEONES]

Try Cepacol, always work for me and stay away from ur finger nails. http://www.cepacol.com

Naaima, interesting, never head of that practice.

Kramer, thanks, though I can't eat anything solid.

Leila, I hear you, my head feels like it's going to explode :(


Abdi, you are scaring me, damn, just a dry cough here and there, which one is more nastier the productive or the dry?

I tried Cepacol, didn't really make any difference though, haven't tried honey but I will, thanks.

[Nabeela]

Org, why the finger nails? lool

[zulaika]

Nabz:

A dry cough is never good because it indicates its something other than a viral cough (produces phelgm).

I would suggest seeing a doctor.

[Nabeela]

Za, thanks, @this point I will try anything.

Abdi, I was avoiding that but it looks like I don't have a choice.

Nabz:

Check this out. You may have strep throat:

The doctor is going to prescribe Amoxyclin 500mgs or Zymethrix (5 day dosage).

If you've a cough, I doubt its a strep throat. Could be a sinus infection or just a sore throat from cold. Try Cold-Eze, it works for me every time. Or if you have ginger, make a tangawizi.

Oh poor Baby!


Here is a hug Nabs! :(
