I've never felt so sick blahh

Last night I went out with some friends from work, and my promise for lent was to not spend money, and to save as much as I can for my wedding.

I spent like 30 bucks.

Not bad, but still, that could go towards something!

Anyway, I'm just standing at the bar and seriously OUT OF NOWHERE my left gland starts to swell.

I'm like ugh, I'm not really feeling that well. So I stop drinking and try to make the best of it, and as we aer playing cards (yes, we are those people LoL) I'm really notttt feeling good. I leave early and I call FH on the way home and he's like woah whats wrong with you!?

haha, love you too, sweetheart.

So I get home and my throat is SO scratchy and is KILLING me, so I OD on cough drops and I kept waking up during the night bc it was hurting so bad!! This has never happend to me before!

I drank about 934085 cups of tea and gargled (and tried very hard not to gag lol) with salt water, but come on!

I have a big family party tonight at my house and I just cant wait to see everyone because we really never do, so I hope I'm okay by tonight :(

Anyone know of any home remedies to cure a sore throat?! TIA!

Hmmm...other than what you have done, no. Have you taken any Emergen-C?

Can you get to a monitor clinch? Or if I'm feeling like you on a Saturday, I call my Primary Care and he phones on a Z Pack for me!

try gargling with Peroxide and Water
Very Gross, but totally helps.

I doubt it will make the pain go away instantly.. Take some advil, drink warm liquids, lots of honey too (its Antibacterial) and buy chloroseptic spray and lozenges to numb your throat

HTH

Feel better

Honey is great, you can take it by the spoonful or put it in your tea.

Do you have a fever at all? If you do I'd try to get to the doc ASAP for antibiotics. Feel better!

It doesn't cure it, but if eating cucumbers actually helps cool your throat down and make it feel a little better.

Feel better!

Crashing.....For sore throats I usually drink apple cider vinegar with water. I use 1 teaspoon of the vinegar and dilute it with water. It sounds soo gross but it really works. I learned this trick from a veteran teacher I work with.
