i don't get sick often, but i've only recently discovered that altoids make my throat feel better quickly...add that to the brandy i sip throughout the day to soothe my throat and i'm doing quite well

since i'm taking a sip about once an hour, and it takes about an hour to clear a drink - shot of liquor, a beer, or a small glass of wine (roughly) out of your system, i'm pretty sure this is okay

Mentholated cough drops would probably work a tad better.

you know, i've tried things like that before...ricola, any number of other brands...and they don't work nearly as well as the brandy does

the brandy is the only thing that actually LASTS an hour...the benefit of the drops disappear just after they do, in my experience...one sip (not a shot, not a glass, nothing like that) is waaaaaaaaaay more effective for me

My mom made me drink Jack Daniel's when I had a sore throat once. It worked for 5 or 10 minutes, but that's it. Maybe brandy is better.

okay...it's a bit worse than i thought

102.5°F yesterday...broke last night, was at 98°F this morning...went to work

it was just 103.2°F and i had to take an ice bath

my throat feels like it's been scraped with a cheese grater and set on fire, and my eyes are swollen

funny thing is, i feel better now than i did last night

i think i have the plague

i had a 104.0 fever last year and it was horrible

with fevers like that you can't even sleep without feeling shitty

this sounds like a horrible idea

gin cures everything


gin + NyQuil = FTW

Sounds like you have whatever I did two weeks ago. It wasn't fun.
