You should go to the hospital if the doctors office is closed don't let it get to bad! The longer you wait the worse it will get but you can try gargleing with salt warm water it helps kill off the bacteria! And you also can try some hot herbal teas! I hope you get this taken care of very soon!

Yeah actuall I not to long ago was treated for it. I took the triple and boy was it aggrivating. I mean that's a lot of meds to take! But what the docs do is have you take this and if it doesnt work you can't take it again. They put you on some other regimen. And yes! take it because if you don't things will get worse for you. I suggest you go on some sites to read about it. You do want to take the medicines.I mean the relief alone helps. Sad to say after I got finished with it I had some problems similar to this come up. Had to have a tube stuck down my throat and a colonoscopy. So yeah take it. And then schedule for a test to be sure it's gone about 2 weeks after. Hope I helped. Oh and to warn you the taste you will have in your mouth during the treatment is HORRIBLE. That was the most aggrivatging part about it. Just push yourself to finish the meds cause if you don't they won't work. Later

Not related.  Watch your throat, is it gets hard to swallow you may have strep and need antibiotics.  Sounds like you have a good sprain/strain too.  Looks like you are headed for a miserable weekend.....

Practice, seriously all my girls have had to overcome this obstacle and the best method is practice. Try small items that will not be to difficult to pull out, you don't want to choke yourself. Increase the size and duration of holding it in your throat. If you are going to lube it, whatever it is that you are putting in your throat, try to use a very and I mean very light coating of corn syrup. It doesn't taste bad and increases slickness. Good luck.

I'm no Dr,,,but seems obvious you've got a throat infection.\n\nThe acid reflux certainly could have initiated rawness>inflmation,and let a "bug" get hold.\n\nStandard Drill is to gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide ,and then with an alcohol-based mouthwash,,such as Listerine.\nBoth are anti-septics,kill germs,etc.\n\nThings like Chloraseptic Spray or Lozenges are both pain-killing AND antiseptic.\n\nI'd suggest using all 3.\nEspecially if you've gotta wait till seeing a Dr.\n\nNo sense letting an infection Grow & spread,,and risk it becoming systemic when Peroxide & Mouthwash \nare so Effective,cheap & readily available.\n\nUsing it cannot make any condition worse.\nAnd it Might save you a trip to the Dr.\nMillions of people use it everyday for same symptoms.\n\nGood Luck!Hope it's nothing serious,and all better soon\n\n\n*** When You have acid reflux,,gargle with a Strong solution of common Baking Soda and water.\nMight have to do it a couple times.\n\nIt neutralizes the stomach acids in your throat,,,which are incredibly strong acids.\n\nYou can even swallow  a little of it,,,it's actually an old home-remedy "antacid".

first step... get insurance. you need it. exspecialy after that last question. Then talk to your doctor about medication. until the insurance comes through, see if he has any smaples that you could try. tell him that you dont have insurance, but that you feel like you need something to help you out. Tell him that you dont want to spend money on something that is not going to work for you, so you would like to try a sample product.

you may have tonsilitis or a sore throat if has been with you since 2nd week of oct you should have gone to the doctor and should never have  home remedied yourself! i think its just a plain sore throat but get medical advice. keep away from straining your  voice. lifting and pushing heavy objects and stay away from cold drinks, cold rooms and alcohol and cigarettes (smoking and second hand smoke) until you figure out what you have.

I would take some throat losenges with you and suck on them while your on! Or cough drops, hard candies, pepomints,them fruit breezers things from Halls work pretty well. Just try and keep your throat moist

I always use Tylenol sore throat...it's a liquid and you can get it at any local drug store.  It always works for me as soon as I swallow it.  Hope your throat is better soon

Gargle with salt water!?  I've always heard that it takes an antibiotic to get rid of strep throat.  I have also heard you can catch it back from your own toothbrush!  OR you could have caught the flu because your resistance was down.  If so, you'll have to hang in there for a week or so.  Good Luck!

When I had throat surgery last year, my stitches were all gone within a week.\n\nHave fun spitting them up! :D

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.

EWWWWWW! It just looks like u ate a green something!  Get a tongue scraper from your drugstore! I promise all that buildup can be scraped away.   If no improvement see a Ears/Nose/Throat doctor stat!
