any suggestions for a sore throat

19 years ago 0 +0 / -0 86

The old fashion Listerine. Even though I'm in the beginning of my quit I asked my doctor about this. My throat has been bothering me. He said to use listerine. If it's too strong add a little water to it but using it full strength is best. Once a day will kill any germs and if you're starting to get sick it will help. Hope it works for you. babs [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/26/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 108 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $15.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Hey DD! Mint Medley tea worked really good for me! You might try a mild peppermint if you have that too. Let us know how you are feeling :) Many Blessings, Eve Proud to be a C.A.R.E.

Gargle with warm salt water. Tastes bad, feels better ! Every time it hurts, best before bed.

DD, I understand what you mean, but it ISN'T sad that your body is protecting yourself from yourself...it's a MIRACLE! I believe it's our Big Me over-ruling our Little Me, the cranky I-want-it-now part of us. And the miracle includes the healing process...each day a new you!
