I have a really bad sore throat, HELP!!?!


Question: I have a really bad sore throat, HELP!!.?
I have a extremely painful sore throat, and when I swallow, talk, eat, or drink, it just gets worse! I also have a headache, nauseousness,
and when I walk I get dizzy. I bought some cough drops at my local Cvs store, exept they don`t help, they just slightly numb my mouth,
I really need help, and, if you know how, please tell me what I should eat, drink, or avoid. Thanks!!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I struggled with major sore throats for years until I had my tonsils out...what worked best for me was gargling with salt water...take 1 tbs to a cup of water...WARM water. Then, make yourself a cup of tea with honey and lemon. (if you dont have tea, just hot water with honey and lemon.) Honey is a natural antibacterial.

As far as things to avoid, anything strongly acidic, like ketchup, is really going to hurt and irritate your throat. Milk can coat it but it can make your nausea worse.

Long hot steamy baths and showers can help soothe it some, too.

Good luck and if you still have it in a day or so, go to the Doc!

Hope you feel better soon!!! Health Question & Answer

I make a tea and it's not very good but if it hurts really bad you won't care how it tastes, you'll just be glad for the relief. Here it is:

1 cup hot water
1 chamomile tea bag (soothes & reduces swelling)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (numbs & heals)
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (provides vitamin C)
1/2 tsp. fresh ginger or 1/4 tsp dried ginger (soothes & heals)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Enough honey to sweeten (soothes & helps coat)

Sip this through a skinny coffee straw or just sip it slowly allowing it to coat your throat.

Here's another one:

1 cup V8 (provides good nutrients)
1 clove garlic (anti-viral)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (numbs & heals)

These both will help soothe your throat and help it heal.

Don't drink any that has acid in it like orange juice or soda pop. I would just suck on some ice cubes until you see a doctor. You sound like you might have strep throat. There is a spray that works really good on really bad sore throats and it's called Cepacol. Take 2 asprins and get into bed. I hope that you feel better : -) Here's a link so you know what it looks like.
