Medical Help!

My throat has been so dry these past few days. One day I woke up and my throat was bone dry and it’s been that way ever since!

Even after I drink water or milk it’s still dry! :(

What can I do?

I think that dark chocolate works best, but I’m sure any kind would work. Also, you could try holding something sour in your mouth. That will activate your… drooly-parts.

ahh, know how you feel- I got sick earlier this month- started with an awful sore throat.

Get super medicated cough drops. Those work best for me. Don’t get the good tasting stuff because it doesn’t work.

Its very nasty but it helps. Gargle some warm salt water. Take a foam cup(if you have any) and fill it with water and a cupple pinches of salt. Heat it up until its warm. Then drink a cuple of sips and gargle some too. It works really well.

It sounds to me liek croupe. I get it ALL the time. And if you don’t take care of itr right away. It will turn into bronchidis. (think i spelled it wrong…idc) I get it about 3 or 4 times a year. Yea i know thats a lot. But mine ALWAYS turns into brochidis cuz i always think its just a soar throat. And if you dont take care of it correctly. Not just will you have croupe,bronchidis, You will get whooping cough. And that is when you cough like a seal…(I hate that) So warm salt water, dark chocolate, and yea something sour activates the part in your mouth that makes you drool.

I’m getting better but…the nastiness has left my throat (yay!) and moved on to be a stuffy nose. XD

Better than nothing!
