I had almost thought it went away yesterday to only wake-up this morning with it feeling so raw I just want to cry!! It doesn't look all white and gross looking like last week, it just looks red and raw. What else can I take for this? The antibiotic didn't work, obviously I knew that. I've been sucking on Cold-Eeze but you can only take so many of them. I puke at the taste of regular cough drops. I'm drinking tea (and coffee, hee hee). What else? I'm so desperate here. -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey

ETA - you may want to take some pain killers like Tylenol, Advil, Motrin. They should help with the pain part.

Also, just massive doses of hot tea with lemon and honey.

The bubbles make it feel better but of course it won't make it go away. I'm sorry you don't feel good! Sounds like you may have a cold ontop of another cold. -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

I've taken 3 motrin and it's barely dulled the pain. This stinks! -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey

You must be miserable. I've seen some really good ideas posted already and I don't really have anything new to add, but I did want to say I hope you're feeling better soon. Oh, have you had a strep test? -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

We just spent $95 on a prescription for DH only to find out it was just equal to 2 tablets of Mucinex....so obviously the stuff works! Save the money and get some over the counter! -------------------- Naomi, Wife to Tim & Mommy to Thomas (7) and Andrew (2)
