any good remedies?

I have been sick since Wednesday. I went to the doctor because half my class has strep throat. I am on antibiotics, but my cold and sore throat just keeps getting worse. Anything you can suggest? I'll try anything at this point!

Re: any good remedies?

awww thanks! I am just extra cranky because this is the first weekend in 3 weeks that I am not in class. Of course I cant go out, and I am stuck in bed. So annoying!

VICKS, cough drops, plenty of tea with lemon, oh, and a nice hot shower. I know there's supposed to be some sort of over the counter remedy thing you can drink - you put a 'disc' in some water and it dissolves...i think it comes in different flavors...supposed to be loaded with vitamin c...sorry don't know the name of it.

hope you feel better soon. Chat Icon

Maybe give your current antibiotic a few more days and then go back to the doc? I was once sick w/ an upper respiratory infection, and on antibiotics. The same day I finished them, I had the most terrible sinus pain and I had a bad infection there too. This was in spite of the fact that the stuff I'd been on was also indicated for sinuses. It was just a really stubborn infection. I got another kind and they worked.

Feel better soon! Chat Icon

DH swears by gargaling with peroxide and those zinc lozenges - they are in a red box with near the cough drops.

hope you feel better.

When my throat is really sore, I use the Chloroseptic throat spray. It soothes and then sort of numbs your throat and gives me some relief from the coughing too.

Its a herbal medicine invented by a teacher.
You should be able to find it on the hygiene isle at the supermarket.

Thank you so much! Tom brought it home for me. Let's hope it does the trick.
