Answers:
In reality a rest is not in order!. I am a mom of three young ones so this is what I do!. Take some kind of pain reliever!. Motrin works best, but I have an allergy so I prefer Tylenol!. Make a cup of hot tea as hot as you can stand it!. Add a teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice, no milk!. Get a bag of herbal throat drops!. When you aren't drinking the tea, keep sucking on one of those to keep your throat moist and minimize discomfort!. The herbs will help your body fight it off!. Gargle with warm salt water too!. It will clean your throat and also help your body to combat the illness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey, i'm suffering that too since the day after my birthday (22nd of may)!. my nose is clogged, my head is heavy and my throat is all scratchy and sore!. the best remedy so far is tea with honey and lemon!. also, if you wanna try ginger tea, it's the best as it will relieve the soreness and will help you maintain your voice (and by that i mean, you won't lose your voice and all croaky)!. ginger tea is very very good!. what you do is buy fresh ginger from supermarket, chop it into the tiniest tiniest tiniest size and boil in water!. make sure the juices get into the water and everything!. then get something to seive it to make sure you don't drink the little bits and stuff!. you can add honey and lemon to that!. actually, now that i mentioned ginger tea, forget the "just tea with honey and lemon" as it won't be as effective as the ginger tea!. i know i've said too much but hope this helped!. get well soon (i'm trying!.!.!.!.hehe)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oftentimes you must just live with a sore throat until it goes away, which could actually be a couple days, three or four tops, I'm sorry to tell you!. Try sucking on some hard candy, such as a lollipop!.

As for the headache, try to stay away from loud noises!. Relax - put a cool washcloth on your head, flipping it every once in a while so your forehead stays cool!. Rub your temples gently every once in a while!. Most of all, take some medicine that is especial for helping with headaches!.

Good luck!. I hope you get to feeling better!

When I had tonsilitis, my ENT told me that no matter what medicines you take, prescription or otherwise, the best thing for a sore throat is gargling with warm salt water!. If your kids are big enough, I'd make them take care of you! If they're not, and you can't get anyone else to watch them, I think a trip to the video store is in order!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just be quiet and drink hot tea!.
