I'm Not Alright

In the words of Sanctus Real...I'm not alright.

My throat feels like I'm making a meal of shards of glass. I think it's probably tonsillitis but I'm not going to the doctor to find out. My left tonsil was twice the size of my right tonsil yesterday.

I know what to do for it and I'm trying to do it. I had fever last night but not today thankfully. I'm functioning but not willing to do more than the necessities. I'm honestly, not miserable, just in pain and a little weak. I feel like I could do a lot of things but am choosing to rest to hopefully get this thing out of my system quickly.

garlic
broth
lemon juice
orange juice
vitamin c
salt water gargle
and rest

Anyone want to add to the list? I'll take suggestions.

AMBERDo you want me to bring you a strep test just to be sure? You can run it yourself at home.

TraciZinc? Don't mess with strep. If not treated it can turn into Scarlet Fever and damage your heart.

AmyI'm so sorry you're feeling bad. It doesn't help to have to take care of 3 little ones when you really need to rest. I'm praying for you.

Becky HughesGrrrl, I don't know what to tell you. We've been going round and round on antibiotics ourselves down here in New Orleans. Hope my sympathy is enough! I'm so sorry, and I hope you feel better soon!

DadI started a sore throat in Okla and went to a Wild Oats store, got some liquid aloe vera and gargled it about 3 times After gargling I swallowed it as it's good for my innards. But it doesn't have a taste at all. Reminded me of using water. But it took care of my sore throat. There, you have my advice.
