some things i thought mildly helpful

[ladycolorado]

well one thing i have done i throat gets itchy is weird, but if like hot food then can manage. sometimes i drink the juice from container of pickled jalepenos. it has vineger and of course, jalepeno. it seems to help with my throat and mouth. another thing i like for pain: good old fashioned alka- seltzer. there is aspirin and salt, lots of salt in a fizzy glass of it. (and it is oxygenated) another thing i have not tried of as yet: reconstituted lemon juice i thought this would make a good gargle i saw big bottle in dollar store, i am thinking of tryig it. it would be handy for lesions, too!

Although I rarely eat anything from a can, my all time favorite comfort/feel sick food is Progresso Chickarina Soup. I'm using that for my extra sodium. I avoided salt as well my whole life after 23 years old and I think I lost the enzymes needed to digest them (use it or lose it) just a theory of mine (one of many ;-) so now if I should have beer and pizza with friends watching the superbowl, next day, my eyes are alost closed over.
