More remedies please?

I have a sore throat, I suspect I also have a temperature.

My methods of controlling these have up til now included lemon and honey drinks, strepsils and tom yum soup.

Anyone got any advice? I'm still getting sicker and can't see a doc til Tuesday, also have to be at work tomorrow.

In other news, 1620 words in to a 2000 word essay, go me!

Panadol will bring a fever down if you have one. You could also try a lukewarm - not cold - bath, although from my experience, fevers make the skin more sensitive and any water hurts like hell. *hugs* and much sympathy, I hope you're feeling better long before Tuesday! (wow, I went for 'Tuesday' and my fingers typed 'Turd'. WTF?)

Ditto on the paracetamol - your body will be able to better fight it off if your temperature is down.

Purely for the purpose of getting through work I also recommend cold and flu tablets but I'd time the dose so you spend the minimum time doped up on pseudoephedrine.
