based on internet searching i'm pretty sure i have tonsilitis... here's the shortish story,
sick for a week (just a cold mostly) turned into fever and sore throat so i went to a walk in, tested neg for strep but the md gave me antibiotics (4 days ago) and this is not helping the sore throat AT ALL. however, most of the cold symptoms have gone away..
so i'm stuck with a sore throat (and ears...) for god knows how long and don't have any more sick time so after today, i have a week of misery to look forward to.
actual question:
any good remedies that don't involve staying home and sleeping? maybe something that will help me be a productive member of society while still healing?
i am a smoker but have had approx 2 cigs a day for the past few days, just enough not to also have to withdrawl from nicotene on top of everything else!
things i have been doing:
taking "rx dose" of advil every 3 hours
drinking decaf green tea with honey
sipping chicken broth
throat losenges
