Feeling horrible

[chicajojobe]

I feel just awful today. My throat is sore and I have no idea why. I've
been gluping down tea and soup all day, but I'm not sure it's helping.



I have my last final tomorrow afternoon too so I have to spend two hours in the history building writing essays.



I'm just afraid that I'll feel even more crappy after tonight or, worse, this will turn out to be some kind of v*ing sickness.

There is a cold bug going round here which I've got and it started with a sore throat, no v*ing honestly. Try a spoon of honey.

I understand, when I was in college it never failed that I would get sick around finals week. That nasty cold is going around, I promise no v* though. Try to do the usual, lots of sleep, lots of water, and get some zinc too (it works wonders) or Airborne (its great) either one of which will upset your stomach.

Silver-did you mean to say either one of which "will" upset your
stomach?????

[harmonygirl72]

Maybe she meant "neither" one of which will upset your stomach!

You are probably just run down from school, cramming, exessive loads of work, and not enough sleep.


SOunds like the common cold has caught up w/ you. Take some OTC cold and sinus.. (some have stuff for sore throats too) a little before you take your final.. bring some cough drops, and tissues... and you'll be fine


(I had a wicked runny nose.. when I was taking my english finals last year... YUCK.. it was miserable.... thats why I advise some OTCD's.. but you'll make it through





Sorry you are feeling lousy though

Chica- here is a question-


Your throat is sore....do you find that you are 'horking' up a smelly substance, or that your mouth keeps filling with saliva? Are your glands swollen?


A main clue as to whether or not you have strep is puss in the throat- I can usually tell by opening my mouth wide and looking in the mirror- or by the taste/feeling.


If you feel this at all- head to the campus clinic and they can do a quick test for strep, and give you some meds which should clear it up fairly soon. If not, rock the lemon tea and cloraseptic.


Hope your finals went well!
