Came down with a doozy of a sore throat on Sunday...been pretty much doing nothing ever since....no cold, no fever, no nothing...just a bad sore throat...been doing salt water gargles, and tylenol....and vicks at night....I am sick of being sick.....I am thinking if not better tomorrow...maybe a doctor visit?  I hate to go in and have him say...it's a virus....deal with it...lol...so will see how I feel tomorrow.. Just wanted to whine to someone new....hubby is tired of seeing me laying around.....Any other suggestions to make it go away? 


Hugs Ruth

Hi Rj


So sorry you are not feeling well. Hate just a sore throat. I usually drink hot tea with lemon to sooth it and the rest you are already doing.


Sure hope you get to feeling better soon.


Love ya

But if it is strep, you'd not be a happy camper either. We do better about sore throats and going to see the doc if not 'cured' in 3 days after Jim Henson died with "just a sore throat." You could add some chicken soup too but you're doing what we do for them. Hugs, BB
