What does gargling warm salty water supposed to do? I thought it was something completely different!! ;)
Do you smoke? Sometimes infections are hard to beat and at times when you think you have, you haven't.

I'll SMS you the solution, but it may take me a while cos i'm old...
 Seriously, get some Betadine Throat Gargle - that will fix the problem within a few days. |

LTDHO you are too smart
Ok I admit i have been smoking a lot lately... But i used to smoke just as much and it never caused a throat infection!!! Its only been since the glandular fever.. thats really stuffed my throat up bad I cant help that when im drinking I just have to have a ciggy in the other hand anyway pretend this has nothing to do with my throat because i havent touched a smoke since the slightest feeling of sore |

While you're at the pharmacy, get some patches and quit, it'll be the best money you ever spend.

I smoked since year 11 but no joke I never got real addicted.. when i stop a get a slight headache along with a craving but only last a few days and i can fight it easily
I started going to the gym 4 days a week and quit smoking for about 3 months at one stage but then i started hangin out with mates heaps again and a lot of them smoke so i kind of fell back into it I'll try and stop again i suppose.. Poor lungs |

Why don't you go to the doctor and get their opinion, if you haven't already done that???
I have always gargled salt water aswell when I have had a sore throat, not sure if it really works though. |

Umm I know this probably isnt the best advice, but when my throat feels a bit sore I drink straight scotch. Sounds silly I know but it seems to work.

I have troublesome tonsils too - should've been removed when I was a kid but I was too chicken.
They'll look all scarred and have like craters on them because of the constant fighting of infections. Tonsils are your first line of defense against bacteria/virus. The best thing you can do is to get them removed if they are so damaged. You can try the betadine gargle, or I think you can still get it - there's an anaesthetic gargle you can use. It used to be green - a bit like mouthwash. Tastes foul, and numbs your tongue while you're at it, but it does kill the pain for a little while. If you are able to take aspirin, I found gargling aspro clear also helps a little - kind of helps take the inflammation out of them. Only use it if you are able to take aspirin though.

They say once they get all scarred and cratered and stuff they aren't really doing their intended job. My daughter had her tonsils out when she was 3 1/2 ( yeah, I know - too chicken to get my own out though) and she is now almost 7 and has had I think 1 case of a sore throat in all that time. I like her stats better than my own.

It's ok hun, I know how you feel I've had diagnosed tonsilitis every month for the last 4 months and it's agony and I loose my voice all the time but still they wont take em out??? Salt water gargle or Listerine every hour and a coarse of antibiotics, I would also suggest a blood test to find out the coarse, Oh and stay away from Irishmen i heard a rumour they can cause throat infections???
Good Luck. |
