Title: Sick.
Post by: Sky on September 21, 2008, 07:45:08 AM
Ugh. I have this really bad cold/ laryngitis kinda thing going on at home. I lost my voice and now it just sounds really bad. I might have a fever too.


Any home remedies you guys have that don't involve medicine. I took a decongestant today and I gagged for about five minutes as I chugged down a Mt.Dew.

Umm lay off the Mt. Dew drink water, and for the fever get a rag wet with cold water and put it behind your neck..

That might help a little..

Water is icky. Hahaha. I know. I'm hard to please sometimes. But Mountain Dew tastes so Gooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

My fever wasn't that bad. I still don't have my voice back to normal. It's starting to annoy me now.


Oh and thank you. :)

I had already researched Laryngitis the other day. Fridayish I think. Your not supposed to drink pop because the caffeine gets you dehydrated quicker and makes you go to the bathroom or something.

like if your wanting to go to the bathroom more. Drink Cranberry juice.. If you want to get your thoat better then drink water and lay off the pop.. Its not good for you in the first place

Don't drink milk if you have a fever....just don't.

However, if your fever has gone down, go ahead and have milk. Yes, it does make more mucus in your throat, but you'll be fine...it tastes very good on a hot night and makes many people feel better.

Also, that whole chicken soup thing? IT REALLY WORKS! Especially if it has a lot of broth....

Milk is awesome. Drink it because it's awesome. Otherwise, find the strange orange stuff in the cabinet, mix it with real oranges, drink it, and see what happens.

Oh... Hope that you'll get better soon!

PS. If you want your voice back again, maybe only for a moment, drink some ICE COLD WATER WITH LOTS OF ICE CUBES! It really helps to drink lots of it too!
