It started with sore throat

Philippines
January 7, 2018 9:36pm CST
I am not feeling well over the last few days, it started with itch on my throat. Then things went down hill from there. But I blame myself since I kept sleeping late still. I'm sure some of you got sick in this cold weather and it's not even winter here I'm not even in Baguio but I got sick. But despite of that I got to do my laundry still because I hated my dirty clothes getting piled.

Whenever I'm having a sore throat I just drink calamansi juice and it's gone.

@Letranknight2015 it depends two or three days drink it morning and night I just want to do it naturally. Mind you that it has to be pure Calamansi don't put water on it or you can just sip one by one directly. My father sip Calamansi every day and he doesn't get sick he always advise us to do it every day to have a better immune system but I'm lazy so I'm just doing it whenever I'm not feeling well. It's my own experience so I don't know if it will work for everybody too.

Last December too I feel my throat is itchy so I take Strepsils. Now I feel okay. I thought it was tonsillitis but I didn't have fever. Hope you are better now

Hello @averygirl72 the strepsils I take is generic and not the branded one, I guess it's not really effective compare to the branded one.

@Letranknight2015 I noticed that too. I do not know if that is viral or worst than that, I hope its not that worst. I have an officemate here who has difficulty in breathing because of severe coughing. Sounds serious. So take care !

Sore throats are the worst, gargaling warm salt water always helps me. Hope you feel better soon!

Sleeping late will not make you sick. You must have picked up a germ somewhere. Hope you feel better soon.

You lack vitamin C. Your immune system is low. Take a rest and get well soon.

@Letranknight2015 What kind of juice? Lemon water is the best. It means just freshly cut lemon dunk into the water. Or you squeeze the lemon into a warm water and drink it straight with no sugar or any other additives except raw organic honey.

Hello @toniganzon makes me wonder why because I've been drinking juice most of the time, at least four time a week.

I just accompany a friend when he visited a doctor. With itchy sore throat, avoid eating sour foods/drinks. Drink plenty of water.

Meet a good doctor who can suggest tests preferably ENT doctor. I feel this is related to immune system

I hate sore throats. Try to gargle some water with a mixture of salt. I hope it helps.
