Increase your liquid intake and make sure your house is humidified properly.\nGargle with warm salt water (¼ teaspoon salt to ½ cup water) several times a day.\nDrink a glass of hot water with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some honey. You'll feel better instantly. You can also drink a chamomile tea with lemon and honey added.\nCut a lemon into 2 pieces. Take one piece and put some salt and black pepper on it, press with a knife so that salt-pepper penetrate into the lime. Put the lemon on heat to make it warm. Slowly lick this lemon squeezing it until no juice remains. Do it 2-3 times a day.\nChives and scallions are helpful for a sore throat when simmered in water for 5 minutes. Drink as a tea.\nFigs, beets are beneficial in sore throat.\nEat garlic. Garlic is an anti-septic and good for many conditions.\nTake over-the-self pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\nuse commonsense hygeine.

Yes, i have coughed so much before that by the end of the day, my stomach muscles felt like i had done sit-ups or something all day long with no break!  It will pass...I know it doesn't feel very good but once you can stop coughing it will all go away! \nHope you feel better soon!  :-}

What he/she said. Ask your doctor for advice on the right thing to do. My Mom is a nurse and I will ask her for you when she gets home! :) \n   (I'll just click "Edit message" and rewrite my whole answer. She will know for sure!)\n\n   But until then, Have a nice day and remember to drink lots of fluids to help you get better. WATER AND SPECIAL DRINKS ONLY!

sounds like a bad cold or the flu to me. Go see a doctor and he can tell you everything you need to know. In the mean time you can get lot's of fresh Vitamin C (fresh lemons, oranges) and use the menthol rub and some throat losenges. Drink LOTS of water or Powerade. Eat some light soup, like chicken soup. (Not dark soup) But regardless of whether you fell like you might be getting better, go see a doctor and make sure it's not something serious.\n\nIf you have alot of phlem in your lungs, Mucinex works great(the GREEN pack, not the blue one) Hope you feel better!

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

I would see your local doctor.  My guess is your on some type of medication.  He/She can put you one  a lite pain reliever while the side of your chest heals.  The reason it hurts is you have been coughing for some time and the muscles on your side have been used and therefore ache.  If your Doctor can prescribe some stuff, your muscles can relax and heal, therefore relieving an pain in the future.

try gargling with salt water and taking some aspirins, but more than likely you need an antibiotic so best bet is to see a doctor. whatever you do dont scrape anything off your tonsills with a needle. thats barbaric!

You should call a doctor today!  It sounds like you may have Strep.  Until you see the doc, you should limit close contact with your children to prevent possibly passing it on to them.\nTry to drink as many "fluids" as you can.\nOne thing that always helps me is Hot Grapefruit juice.\nAll you have to do is squeeze the juice of a couple grapefruit into a saucepan, add sugar to taste, add about a cup of water, then place the squeezed grapefruit into the saucepan with the juice and water.  Bring this all to a boil, remove from the heat, and discard the grapefruit skins.  Pour into a mug and drink while still hot. (If you are not on any other medication you can add a shot of bourbon, or southern comfort to the drink... it adds to the flavor.... But is not necessary.)  It works every time for me.... It is something my vocal coach taught me.\n\nI wish you well, I hope you feel better.

Stop taking the throat losanges.  They may make you feel good now, but they tend to dry out the throat and make the problem worse.  They definately don't seem to be curing you of anything.  \n\nIf it keeps bothering you, go back to the doctor; you may have something besides strep throat, which would be the only thing antibiotics would work on.

still getting over mine as we speak!! it last two weeks and started out as bronchitis first (yuck!!)\n\ndrink lots of fluids-colds can dehydrate you quickly and make you feel worse so make sure to drink. water is best-avoid caffeine b/c it will make you more dehydrated\n\n-suck on ice cubes or hard candies if you have a sore throat\n-put a warm mist humidifier in your room at nite to help you breathe better and to also keep your throat from drying out\n-hot tea w/honey is very soothing \n-take nyquil at night to help you sleep\n-don't do too much activity during the day and sleep as much as possible-rest is the best thing to a speedy recovery\n-drink orange juice to help boost your immune system (the vitamin c in it will help to this)\n\nhope you feel better soon

gargle with warm salt water for two to three days, 4 times a day. It should almost be gone by then, good luck

Have you been to your doctor about this? Because he/she is the only one you should be taking advise from. And he/she can properly check out if nothing serious is going on with your throat. But an innocent trick is; drinking tea with a spoonfull of honey. Again, if you are concerned with this matter; go to your doctor. That's the safest thing to do. If you ask for some alternatives for medicines, he should be able to give you some options. I hope your throat clears up. I've had awfull pain to my throat aswell. So i know how it might feel for you. Good luck...

Get some Thyme and make Thyme Tea. Best thing ever for throat infections/sore throats.\nIf you can't find any, then try a sugar/butter ball (basically just roll a bit of butter/marg into some sugar)

Hi Dear.,\n\nYou need to make your parents hear you.  For now get some hot tea.   That will loosen you up some so you can breath.  I personally recommend Mortin or Tylenol verse Asprin but whatever you have is better than nothing.  Take you temp. before drinking or taking anything.  If you still can't get them to listen tonight prop yourself up in bed.  Personally you may have to unset your parents and call 911.  Feel better.
