If anyone wants to offer my very sore throat, a good home, it's yours FOC, it's driving me Fecking crazy, it is the third day that I've had it, but hopefully, as it got so bad today, that might mean it will better tomorrow? Things do generally get worse as they begin the healing process. No other symptoms except a slight cough and to night I feel so cold. I don't have a fever, headache or any muscular aches and pains, just this stabbing pain every time I swallow, bastard thing ![Evil >:D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/evil.gif)
uggghhh... If you're not actually sick, (you
have had a CV test, right...?) could be post-nasal drip causing it from some airborne irritant. The sore throat is a natural response to the irritant/post-nasal drip; I used to suffer every spring and fall during the windy season. It brought this silty dust in off the plains that just clogged me up something fierce.
If so, a few doses of pseudoephedrine (decongestant) usually work wonders; it dries up the sinuses and the post-nasal drip and the "gargling razor blades" goes away usually in the same day.
Do not get the "Sudafed PE" (it is worthless Phenylephrine that doesn't do jack-shit) or any antihistamine unless you need that
as well; they do not do the same thing. If a full 60mg tablet dries your sinuses out and gives you a headache, they break in half easily and once you've got the first full dose or two in you a half a tab every 3-4 hours usually keeps it under control.
It appears they are trying to take the time-release variety off the market (at least over here) due to being the highest dosage of pseudoephedrine per tab that fuckwits can distill into meth; not sure aboot the other side of the pond.
