In Reply to:
they gave me magic mouthwash, I am using that plus Chloraseptic which they said was ok, they gave me zithromax just in case, which I started taking, I am using naprosyn and sudafed too. So....Sudafed, naprosyn, magic mouthwash, and chloraseptic and my throat is still killing me. Has anyone else had this and/or does anyone have any suggestions??? I have just had a low grade temp which is gone now, very runny nose and some body aches which are not that bad. But the throat - oh my goodness I can't even explain how bad it is.

Could be strep - makes my children throw up, sometimes no sore throat(nm)
x
I had a horrible sore throat a few months ago and used
a big tablespoon of pure honey and just ate it. I probably over a few hours that same day used a couple more but it was amazing for me, totally worked. I really had nothing here at the house for sore throat that seemed to work. Hope it can help you too.
Sore throat suggestions
I have chronic sinus problems and postnasal drip. Some suggestions I have are to use a cool mist humidifier at night, use saline nasal sprays (like Ayr or Ocean) at least twice a day, gargle with warm salt water (as far back into your throat as you can), and I make a drink with a cup of hot water, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey. I also drink chicken broth or eat chicken noodle soup. That might be placebo, but I always feel better after warm chicken broth.
I have had a sore throat now for 2 days..sm
It feels like it may be starting to get better though. My husband had the same thing last week. My nose has ran a little too. I don't know. Must be a cold or something.
Well this isn't your everyday sore throat (sm)
It feels like severe strep, only it's neg for strep and it has been going on about 4 days now and shows no signs of getting any better. Nothing I am doing to try to treat it seems to help. I am now on zithromax, magic mouthways, chloraseptic, saltwater gargles, honey, cough drops, vitamin C and naprosyn, and still waking up through the night with my throat hurting :(
Sore throat remedies needed...sm
I'm on day #4 of a severe sore throat. Ran a fever days 1 and 2. Really no sinus congestion to aggravate it. My 7-year-old daughter has the same thing but with sinus drainage. The pediatrician confirmed yesterday she doesn't have strep and this is all a virus that is going through the community as they've seen a lot of this same virus over the past week. We found out that 2 other kids in her class have the same muck.
We're doing salt water gargles and I'm using Cepacol lozenges. We're also drinking lots of hot and cold fluids. I can't use TheraFlu because it has ingredients that I'm allergic to. I can't eat anything other than drinking liquid soups because it hurts too bad. Definitely not a fun way to lose weight for sure!
What's your favorite remedy to make a sore throat feel better?
I do know my flu started with a severe sore throat
and then progressed to a very high fever, and chills and then it coupled with bronchitis. But the other poster is right, my doctor said there are so many different types of flu around this year. If he gets worse I would definitely call the doctor.
I suffered from a sore throat for a week or so s/m
but no fever, just congestion. I started using a Netti pot two times every day and I no longer have the sore throat. I even tried going without it for a day and sore throat came right back. It must be that I sleep with my mouth open due to the congestion. Good luck!
WHy when I did a shot of whiskey it help my very very sore throat and cold??
It was suggested to me to do a shot of whiskey (which I hate by the way) because I had a very bad sore throat, the kind of sore throat that is deep down in your throat like towards the bottom of your neck...anyhow I had been battling this for over 5 days worse with it getting worse with each day...So, I do the shot of whiskey and it helped reduce the intense pain immediately and while my throat still aches, the intense deep pain is gone....Why does this work?
Well, I have had a sore throat and head cold now for a week and it was pretty
bad. My ears even hurt.
My kids only act out like that if they are sick - get him a strep test! Has he said his stomach hurt
My kids act terrible when they are sick - many times they have gotten in trouble and then later I find out they are sick. Both of them have had strep several times with NO SORE THROAT, NO FEVER, just stomach pain.
Aww, this one only hurts me when he bites me.
And he only does that when he gets really, really sassy... either he thinks my hand is prey, or worse yet, a girl gecko, and reptile foreplay involves teeth....
I do have 4 others, same species. One of the girls has been known to take a snap at me (she'll snap at anything that moves, my mighty little predator) but she has never actually clamped down on me because as soon as she gets my finger in her lil' jaws, she realizes I am not food and she lets go. Mr. Bonehead, on the other hand, is so stupid he'll hang on long enough for me to go get the camera and shoot several pictures of him hanging off my finger.... Eventually he figures out that I am neither food nor girlfriend material, and he lets go, especially if I start spraying him in the face with the misting bottle.... (At which time he just looks at me as if to say, what are you doing, I'm trying to get lucky and you're spraying my face!)
I have gotten to where I know his body language well enough that I know when he might have mischief or mayhem in mind, and I watch him carefully. He hasn't taken a chunk out of me in quite a while now. :)
The foot that hurts is not using the pedal.
The pain is in my left foot, but my right foot uses the pedal. I think if I tried using my left foot on the pedal it would be too painful...
So sorry for your pain. I know how bad it hurts - {{hugs}}

this has nothing to do with whether or not it hurts or leaves a bruise(sm)
This is about the fact that you are choosing to let your daughter be humiliated in public. It may be done behind closed doors but there will be a witness there and everyone she knows (and probably doesn't know) will know it happened. Also, I tend to agree with the poster above who referred to this act as similar to a fetish and that whole aspect of this. This is not about punishment. It's about actually letting someone humiliate your child. I can only think of one other thing that would be worse - it has four letters, begins with an r and ends with an e. I'm absolutely appalled at this!
so sorry, it sure hurts when you lose your babies.. nm

I know how you feel and heart hurts for you
I am a huge animal lover, have 3 catss myself and lost an older girl January 2008 but they are so precious to us. I love animals so much that now do rescuing because our furries are so special, each one, every day. I understand and so sorry.
true, buit it hurts!....nm

Kind of hurts her claim that she is not a gold-digger - sm
When I first heard this I assumed it was $20K a month, which is a bit more reasonable, though still nuts; but $20K a day, what does she do buy gold plates every day and dispose of them? I could do a lot wtih $600,000 a month. I doubt she will get that though, maybe her lawyers figured they'd start with some totally outragous amount so she could end up getting what she attually wants (i.e. $20K a month or $100K, whatever it is). It will probably all end up being sealed in the end so no one will know.
I have never seen Deep Throat but know I don't want

He didn't force it down her throat..
She obviously just wasn't smart enough to say no.
You are sooo right!
I was simply posting from my point of view. I've been there, ready to throw in the towel and call it quits. Now I am so glad I didn't. Our counselor is wonderful, she never once said for me or my husband to leave. She's teaching us how to divorce-proof our marriage.
To Done: Please follow your own heart and mind. We don't know you from Adam's house cat, so it's not fair for you to rely on our advice. Just consider all your options, you'll know what is right for you and your family...
To EverydayMT: You need some reading lessons, Hooked on Phonics perhaps?
I won't cram my testimony down anyones throat unless they want to hear it.

Oh God, that is just sooo great. sm
I'm so happy for the families.
this is all sooo funny
to people who think things are being shoved in their face! We all can't have the outside world revolve around us. there are things a lot of people don't like, but what can you do, life goes on. life can be sweet and precious though. you take the good with the bad (or what you consider bad) in your day to day life. I thought most grownups understood this.
That would be sooo nice.
We've been getting rain here in NC, so I'm grateful for that, but I am not in love with the head and humidity.
Wow! That is sooo cool! (sm)
Congratulations! I don't have any advice - but would like some! How do you buy a forclosed house?? I may be in the divorced boat soon myself and I would love to know how to do something like that!
He is SOOO CUTE!
What a little lover! Have a great time Misha and I know he will help heal your pain and leave the great memories and provide wonderful new ones in the future. I've got a new puppy, too, so need to figure out how to post a pic to share...
I would sooo love to go there and get
my first tattoo by one of them. But Pennsylvania is a little far away from Miami! Love that show.
I am sooo happy that I am not the only one!
I am also about 7 weeks and I have been so, so bloated. This is my third pregnancy and I dont recall the other ones being like this either, although, I got very sick with my second one with stomach trouble and had a little of that this time too. So, I thought it was just me! Glad its normal. Congrats and hope you have a good pregnancy.
I am sooo glad to see this...sorry you had trouble but...sm
I took it for 1.5 days and started getting odd, painful muscle spasms in the back of one thigh. I looked it up and saw that was not only a side effect but apparently a serious side effect, so called the doc to get something else. He had never heard of that reaction!! I still refused to take it and got something else. Then had to go to a specialist for different problem. I asked him about that side effect with Cipro, and he had never heard of it. I know they think I'm nuts, but I know that's what it was. The spasm frequency slowed one day after stopping Cipro, but it didn't quit entirely for several days. I won't ever take it again.
Oh, what a relief. --sooo happy for you!.nm

She's sooo young to throw her dignity away.
How can she not realize she has her whole life ahead of her with no way to take her weirdness back.
Sooo true! But I didn't mess her up.
No really, she is a rescue.
:oD
looool, what a witty comment!!! Sooo

Loooool, yeah, like his body is sooo hot!
I don't know, maybe to some, but he's definitely not my type. I never understood the attraction. 
Mine are older now, but I can sooo relate (sm)
You're not overreacting, but when you are married into that type of family you have to pick and choose your battles. I would say your daughter is probably safe, your mil is probably being slow and careful (I hope?) but I would ask her to use some of the ear-protective type "earmuff" looking things that block out sound. It is a thin line to tread because they see nothing wrong with this type of lifestyle when it is the opposite of what you would do. Unfortunately you may have a long battle ahead of you because I have. My children are now 8 and 11 and I have been labelled the "overprotective mother" the whole time. Too bad. I do pick and choose my battles with them but if something is unsafe it is unsafe and they will just have to not like you. What are they gonna do, kick you out of the family? lol - I think not. And they have to be nice to you so they get more baby time - use your leverage, but be fair and try to give a little too. Ask yourself it is is truly dangerous before you react - if it is, then don't allow it.
I was sore from bowling!
After playing it all night when we first got it, I woke up this next morning and my right shoulder was killing me! I mean, I lift weights regularly, and I don't even get as sore from that! I also love the tennis one, and I take the Wii Fitness test almost every day! I am getting Mario Galaxy and the Mario Olympic games next week, and I can't wait! I also have to recommend the Rayman Ravid Rabbids game as that has to be the FUNNIEST game I have ever seen! Shooting toilet plungers at crazy screaming bunnies! LOL!
It doesn't look sore, red or anything. Just
xx
Also about the teeth being sore...
Our orthodontists both told us that if OTC meds do not help your pain, they are too tight and you should call for a 2nd adjustment. Your teeth should not be so sore that you can't eat a regular diet. Who knows, yours might have a different policy or idea, but don't suffer through the pain without asking. I did and they finally told me that I shouldn't be and they don't know that unless the patient tells them.
Victoria's Secret models are sooo young!
Does anyone else get Victoria's Secret catalogs, and do you think the models are too young? I just came in from getting my mail, and a new catalog arrived with "New Dream Angels" on the cover. The model is a girl, in my opinion. If that young lady is older than 14 or maybe 16 at the most, I'd be surprised. I'm 46, and I don't expect VS to use middle-aged or elderly models, but it would be nice if they were at least adults!
A sore loser? I saw it and I think she was truly shocked.

I had wondered if it was bec his joints are sore (sm)
That is interesting. He does seem arthritic these days but I thought it was just from him being so old. I had wondered if he was chewing his paw (the top of his paw, not the pad) because his joints hurt. I feel so bad for our poor pets who can't tell us what is wrong. I guess he will have to go to the vet (whether he likes it or not!)LOL
Ditto, I would think anyone with a cold sore - sm
would know not to kiss anyone, especially a newborn. Obviously the mother was not thinking, it was her baby, etc., unless she did not know she had it, and/or that it was herpes as all cold sores are and very contagious and spread by kissing, contact, etc. It is very sad the nursing staff did not say something to her prior, during, after the birth as this all could have been easily prevented.
i have a date with a doctor fri night!!!! please wish me luck; i am sooo neverous....nm
Oh SOOO cute. But please read inside for a warning (I'm a dog owner) sm
Puppies develop habits really quickly, so discourage licking the can thing. Mine would get cans out of the garbage and one had a cut edge and he terrribly cut his mouth and tongue. I felt like such a careless dog mom. A true accident, but now maybe I can help you prevent the same thing? Please excuse my post... I am not a know-it-all and I actually don't like it when someone posts something lighthearted and then someone (like me) gets kind of off topic in the thread with a reply like this one, but maybe it will help you prevent an accident. But this is an adorable picture and I love your puppy. 
For sore neck & shoulders I swear by - sm
Flexall Extra-Strength. (Used to be 'Flexall 454'). Has a menthol/linament kind of smell (which I like), but who cares - it works like a charm for me on those tight, stressed-out muscles. Not only when working, but when going to bed at night, too. Cat hates it, but too bad. I LOVE it.
Also helpful was buying an adjustable, keyboard try that attaches under the desk. By typing with the keyboard basically in my lap, it opens the angles of my elbows (pain in those is from bone spurs, when elbow is flexed to 90 degrees or more). Also, having the keyboard low, with very nice soft, cushy wrist-rest, takes the load off my shoulders from trying to hold my hands higher.
I change chair height frequently during the day, also get up and move around. I make sure to get out and exercise (jog, walk, bike, skate, go to gym, etc.) once a day, too. Got a chair that is adjustable 5 ways: seat tilt, seat height, back height, back tilt, and lumbar support. Keeping the room warm helps, too. When thumb & wrist arthritis flares up, I take aspirin & wear typing gloves to keep hands warm.
Last, but not least, I keep knee chondromalacia at bay with Osteo Bi-Flex (glucosamine & chondroitin) daily.
By the 4th day, I would be too sore to continue the rest of the week...
LOL
i think the gift card or jewelry. girls at that age are sooo picky. most want $ so they can pick o

Sore thumb joints from hitting space bar (sm)
They are sore on the opposite side of the thumb, not the underside that hits the space bar. Does anyone know anything I can wear on my thumbs to prevent this from getting worse? I'm afraid I'm giving myself arthritis in my thumbs! Thanks
Anyone else get sore legs and muscle tightness and leg pain when
walking and pulling tendons a certain way with walking from sitting and holding your legs fixed when working. I think I tend to stiffen up my legs. I expect some amount of tendonitis is going on.
