    Exclamation Really sick need help for my throat

    I'm really sick right now with a bad cold or flu and my throat is what's bothering me most... It's scratchy and rough and it's such. A pain to breathe or swallow and it's making me nauseous... Does anybody have any good remedies besides hot water and salt because that never works for me and neither does ibuprofen or any drugs. Thanks so much

    Have you tried warm tea with honey? Also, the soothing cough drops like cepacol that are throat numbers might help also. I hope you start to feel better soon!
    PM me for contact info such as skype, email, or facebook. Thanks!

    Thanks guys... this morning my throat is worse! I'm not as nauseous anymore though, I realized that I'd had basically no food yesterday so when I put a fruit cup on my stomach that solved that. But this morning my throat is burning so bad not like acid reflux but it's super painful, I'm going to try some NeoCitran and hope it helps. Thank you!

    Throat numbing sprays containing lidocaine really help me. You can get them OTC at pretty much any pharmacy. If it isn't getting better it might be a good idea to see a doctor for a throat culture/rapid strep test. I hope you're feeling better soon!

    Try Ricola cough drops, they are amazing. Also try peppermint tea, like celestial or a simple brand like that.

    But also, you should try Emergen C or Zicam, to get rid of your sickness faster !

    I'm too feeling unwell with the same type of thing. I think what the others said is good advice - I find that throat numbing sprays or cough drops that numb your throat really help. Hot drinks are nice too, and tea would help ease the nausea as well

    Honey Honey Honey!! I literally drink the stuff when my throat is sore. It lubricates the throat, and contains good bacteria to help kill off whatever is irritating you.

    Frozen cough drops are also a pretty fun choice. I like the Ricola with eucalyptus. Numbing sprays or drops are also a really good option, but if it hurts to speak without them, be cautious to not overuse your voice while you're numb.

    Inhaling steam is a good way to make yourself feel better too. I don't have to pay for water, so I like to read a book in the bathroom while the shower is running as hot as it can go. A more cost effective way is to boil some water, then breathe in the steam. It'll help moisturize your throat, as well as clear up congestion. If you have Vicks Vapor Rub, stick it in the water and inhale that too!

    I'm definitely with Barbie on getting checked for strep! If that is what you have, it'll go away much quicker with medication. I've had strep tons of times, and it totally sucks!

    Ive had strep over 20 times, and i know exactly what it feels like. However whenever I go now, and they do the cotton swab test, i just walk out, i cant handle it ): so then im stuck with strep for 3 extra weeks
