Do any of you guys ever get tired of drinking too much cough syrup and eating too many cough drops when you have a cold? I think I've consumed more Robitussin than water during the last few days, and I am so over all the sugar and cherry flavor. Does anyone have an alternative suggestion to heal a sore throat. The gargling salt water, and drinking liquor with lemon and honey don't excite me. What else for someone who is tired of sugar and cherry flavoring?
Buy some Cold Eeze for when you feel you are getting a cold next time. You start using them upon the first sign of a cold and they head it off. Throat spray works well for my sore throats, but I tried hydrogen peroxide a few weeks back. You can use it full strength or mix a small amount in a cup with water to weaken it a little as it burns your throat but it did help also.
SJ,
Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for the well-wishes and suggestions. I am feeling better, but not 100% yet. The Gatorade worked miracles.
Hey Beach Runner - I also have MVP and wasn't diagnosed until I was about 36. I've had problems with decongestants in the past and ever since I was diagnosed I can't have epinepherine in my dental shots. I had never heard of the long QT thing and read up on it. Very interesting since my mother dropped dead at 59 while in the hospital having some tests run. This was in 1982. Her death certificate said ventricular fibrillation. The autopsy found nothing else. I'm curious if it could have had something to do with the long QT thing. What heart doctor do you see here in Atlanta?
Go and soak up some rays....the best natural medication. Hope you feel better soon.
Glad to hear you're feeling better, SJ!!!
I have it now.
