Swollen Throat

how’s that for a pretty title? it’s descriptive, anyway…
Very swollen and sore throat today… started sometime last night when i guess i woke up to the pain and discomfort, and it’s followed me through all of today…
have taken zinc lozenges with echinacea & vitamin c, showered thoroughly which usually helps most physical sufferings, made myself a pretty healthy broth with carrots and mushrooms and rice and a lil ginger, have gargled with vinegar, have napped, have taken one advil early in the day and one ibuprofen when i woke up… not caring too much about the whole ‘don’t take medicines..not natural’ thing right now… throat hurts!
and i’m told it’s going to get worse before it gets better. what for!?

basically cont’d at Nursing a sore throat entry.
