Help im on Vacation and sick :(

Question

Im on vacation and just showed up sat night. The past few days ive been feeling a little blaah and then last night my throat started to feel scratchy. I woke up this morning and now it hurts :( How do i get rid of a sore throat . Anybody know the best medicine to take that will help.

This sucks because i hardly ever get sick and the one time i do its while im on vacation and have a bunch of things to do, go to weddings etc and visit family.

Answer 1

Well, you can gargle with warm salt water a few times a day and that should help.  Also, you can buy Chloraseptic spray.  That will numb your throat.  Of course, you can also buy throat lozenges.  It's also possible that your throat hurts from a nasal drip, in which case a decongestant pill or liquid would help.

BUT, keep in mind, if it's a bacterial infection or strep throat, you are contageous and can make everyone around you sick like you are.  Only antibiotics will help in a case like that.  Maybe if you call your regular doctor and explain the problem, he will agree to have a pharmacist around where you are now to call him and have him fill a prescription for antibiotics for you, since these circumstances are unusal and you cannot get to your doctor for a personal visit right now.

Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 5

When my throat hurts this is what I do:

Take a glass of water then microwave it to where it's hot then add allot of salt and gargle it. It doesn't taste the best but it really does help.

Answer 6

Sore Throat? That won't last long.

Try drinking something warm, like soup or tea with honey in it. I find honey to help alot.

Meds aren't worth it, it will be gone soon.
