Serious Sore Throat and Hungry!!?!


Question: Serious Sore Throat and Hungry!!?
I have had a sore throat for 3 days now, I have not been able to eat or drink a thing (hot or cold). Usually even when my throat hurts, I can still eat, I went to the doctor and prescribed me some anti-bodies... I have been taking tylenols and ibuprofens the entire time, nothing is helping. I even gargled warm salt water.. NOTHING... I am soo soo hungry, but I can't seem to eat anything, has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to help relieve the pain?

P.S. I have also tried popscicles, soup, throat lozenges/spray... nothing seems to be helping relieving the pain.

Try a hot toddy, I find these to really help when I have a major sore throat.

* 1 teaspoon honey
* 2 fluid ounces boiling water
* 1 1/2 fluid ounces whiskey
* 1 slice lemon
* 3 whole cloves (optional)
* 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
* 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)

Pour the honey, boiling water, and whiskey into a mug. Add some lemon. Let sit for 5 minutes. Optional ingredients if you need better flavor. Put the cinnamon stick and cloves in with the lemon and sprinkle nutmeg before serving.



I had the same thing kinda...
It lasted two weeks.
I try to drink as much water to calm my throat when I go to sleep, because that's when it hurts the most.
I see that Tylenol did not do anything.
What I did was eat through a straw, what I ate was this soup with rice. The soup was like boiled with rice so the rice is softer.
Hope I helped in some kind of way



I had something similar by the sounds of it. Basically I didn't eat anything and as for drinks I just had them one painful sip at a time...
