I have really sore throat which seems to really hurt at night so keeps me up, i want to cry?

it is so sore!!. I went to the doctors and they said it is viral so nothing they can do. I am taking paracetamol everyday, hot drinks, everything that has worked before. They hardly work, so I am lost what to do because I have a weekend job today and I really can't speak as it is so sore!!. I am not allowed any days off now till next year, I really don't know what to do. Any advice would be so helpful?

    sage & honey tea...use dried sage & make a pot of tea (3 teaspoons of sage) - leave for 5 mins ....sage has a mild aneasthetic effect on throat a lessens pain. Sage tincture mayb easier if your near a healthfood shop - as long as your not pregnant can sip sage tea evry hour or so.

    Also gargling with warm water & 2 drops of sandlewood essential oil and/or teatree oil helps kill infection & soothe

    Taking 2 x 1000mg vit c tablet about 3 times a day will replenish you & help fight infection

    Finally, if you can get hold of colloidal silver from health food store, expensive but kills everything & it's very mild to swish around mouth 1st before swallowing...25ml a day to fight viral infections.

    Good luck & hope it eases for you soon, I know what it's like, have had many myself.....also to consider is underlying factors to look at holistically, such as unexpressed anger/ holding back in saying something important to someone you care about....try a session with an energetic healer/ wear a blue stone at your throat - lapis lazula/blue lace agate/turquoise...aquamarine even better...for immediate action try writing your feelings out <3

    OK< here goes, ''weak aspirin water" good stuff.

    aspirin kills germs in the throat like gangbusters.

    Not Tylenol or PM. Plain old cheap aspirin, half cent each.

    Dissolve one aspirin in about a half cup of water, tad more.

    Take a slug of it and gargle-- then SWALLOW. Gets those

    little bas*****ds further down the throat. Repeat. So, now

    you are on your way. About every 15 minutes or more take

    a good sip and swallow- repeat . Make another cup of solution.

    If you slack off too soon, the b**ds will recoup. This little bit

    of aspirin water shouldn't bother a sensitive person- take a Tums.

    This is my own receipe. If it works, pass it on.

    Good health, P

    Put vaporub on your chest and throat, then wrap it with a nice thick scarf. Continue to drink fluids even if it hurts. Trust me. Also have some ginger ale. The tingling sensation works like a distraction from the pain. I hope you feel better soon.
