sick

[percussivebunny]

i'm sick. my throat feels like it is on fire, and it hurts to swallow most of the time. the only thing that really helps (and only for a short time) is hot liquid. so tonight j made me tea with lots of honey and some ramen, because he's wonderful and loves taking care of me and wants me to feel better

Try a gargle with a half cup of water and a few drops of tea tree oil. I haven't yet met a sore throat of mine it wouldn't fix.

And WTF, people, you are the second person in the past... month? to manage to get sick a few days after your wedding. At least I did it the proper way and got sick BEFORE my wedding. :-p

you know, i must have been channeling you last night - about 3am i woke up in severe pain, and lay there thinking about what else i could do, and remembered you had said warm water with tea tree oil, so i tried that. did it at 3am, then when i got up for the day at 7am. no change yet, but i will do it more when i get home from work.

The couple of BAD sore throats I had, it took about 3-4 tries over a couple of days. But if I catch it when the sore throat is just starting, it seriously only takes one gargle, and the soreness is usually permanently gone within half an hour or so.

Feel better. *HUGS* Sore throats are the worst!
