dry sore throat before cold?!

bittyhorse23 · May 6, 2008

I get like that when I have pushed myself too hard. I'll get sore throats and stuffy and mucusy until I take a break and relax all day. Then things will start to improve but I have to make sure I take it easy until I get back to normal or almost normal.

I hope things look up for you soon Fred!!!!!!!!!!

I make my own sinus rinse solution, Fred, because I can't use the OTC stuff.

I filter my water through my Pur water pitcher, and then boil it for 10 mins, and then add 1/4 tsp of salt (non iodized salt, like pickling salt, or 1/2 tsp of coarsely ground non iodized salt) per 8 oz. of the hot water. You can also add baking soda, but I'll have to check and see how much, since I can't use it (I'm weird, so don't worry about that- I've heard it makes it better to add it for the vast majority of people).

I usually make 2 quarts at a time, and store it in a glass container in the 'fridge for a week. I hope that helps <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> . Bummer about the Sudafed <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> .

Okay, the baking soda seems to be anywhere from 1/2 a teaspoon to 1 tsp per 8 oz., and the salt is variable too (sorry, forgot to tell you that), from a 1/4 tsp to a 1/2 tsp, from what I have found so far. You can always do a Google and find one you like, too <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
