I haven't been around for a bit...

I keep meaning to post a birth story and pictures, but after giving birth Monday, I got a high fever Tuesday, and now I still have a fairly high fever (103) but I also have a horrible sore throat. Needless to say I haven't felt like doing much.

Anyone have ideas about how to sooth a sore throat besides Ricola and salt water (and bubbly soda )

TIA!

How about a warm honey and lemon drink? Soothing and keeps up your fluids, too.

Sorry you are feeling ill.

Congratulations on your new babe! I hope you feel better soon-I hate fevers!

For sore throats we use colloidal silver. It makes mine stop hurting right away and then i use again as needed.

sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It seems in our dso's (doctor's standing orders) for sore throats was to gargle salt water. Last time I had one I just did generic immune boosting vit C(sodium ascorbate), zinc and echinicea- it was over pretty quick.

Are you sure you don't have strep throat?

I guess I could, but I doubt it. Plus, I'd rather not take antibiotics and risk thrush.

I'm assuming that I am getting better since the fever is going down a bit.
