THE ATTACK OF THE SORETHROAT MONSTER

i've got this horrible on-off sorethroat.
yesterday i ate KFC and it got BETTER! =/

after that it only went in one direction. down.

and i'm getting REALLY desperate now cuz ocip shanghai ppl are going KBOX this saturday! :D the seriously long-awaited outing (:
my sorethroat has persisted from day 7 of the trip till now. about.. 2 weeks?! you do the math.

sigh. so, being the internet dependent me, i went googling for fast cures :D

the #1 cure is supposed to gargle with cayenne pepper in water.
maybe i'll go to the supermarket to get it tomorrow.

i've been trying so many ways to cure my sore throat i think i can write a guide or something.

wensi's guide to healing sore throats fast. (:

DANZEN.
it's a medicine that's supposed to reduce inflammation. not working for me, yet.

GOLDEN THROAT LOZENGES.
has always worked for me throughout the years. i prefer it to strepsils (: however, this time it has let me down! even KFC gave me better relief.

SALT WATER.
urgh. i had always dreaded gargling with salt water as i thought it'd hurt. but since it's one of the most popular remedies online, i decided to try it. alright it's working fine. i don't feel that my throat is super swollen already. :D

VITAMIN C.

urgh i'm retyping all this stuff again. stupid blogger. i'm already in a foul mood. vitamin C is supposed to prevent infection and inflammation. so yeah i immediately dissolved a tablet in water and drank it. you can take 10,000 milligrams of vitamin C once the first symptoms of sore throat arise. but be sure to drink lotsa water to flush the excess vitamin C away cuz our body can't retain large amounts of vitamin C. and vitamin C is good for the skin! (that's why i have a large stash of it at home. but i'm too lazy to drink it anyway. boo.)
the watsons version tastes much better than the redoxon one. i hate the strong orangey taste so i usually dissolve it in half a cup of water and use plain water to flush away the icky after-taste. (:

thanks everyone! :D hope my throat gets better by saturday.

it doesn't help when you're acting this way. without a doubt you're on my side? guess not.
