I feel like I am coming down with a sore throat, with surgery in 5 days!
Please pray you guys, that this sore throat I feel coming on, will clear up quickly, what with surgery in 5 days. I've been taking vitamin C out the kazoo's. Any other suggestions? I'm a bit nervous about it. Thanks.
Cindylou

Hi there. Today just happens to be 2 weeks since I had my surgery. I went through the same thing you did. I started to feel a soar throat coming 5 days before surgery as well. I think it was mainly because of stress.
I bought a bottle of chewable Vitamin C 500 Mg. at walmart. I took 2500 mg in the morning and 2500 mg at night. I also bought whats called "Airborne" nighttime. This stuff was made by a teacher which is what I do for a living. I swear by this stuff. There is no telling what kind of germs I have going on at my elementary school I teach at. I took all of this going up to the night before the surgery. When I arrived at the hospital, they immediately put me on an antibiotic to prevent infection from the surgery. I was not worried after that. Good luck to you. If you try the vitamin C, I have no doubt that it will work. Let us know how it turns out! Dan

Cindy, do you have enough on your plate now??? A new baby, a dear friend's death, surgery next week.
Do you use Airborne? I started with it a few years ago and get sick much, much less. I take it before a trip, when I get really run down or when I feel something coming on. It seems stupid to me to take something that is just an expensive vitimin, but it seems to work for me. All the best, Mark

Oh, thanks you guys. I've been doing the vitamin c, but sent our last bottle of Airborne back to campus with our son. I will definitely go out and buy some today. I think it could be stress too, just don't want to have to postpone surgery or anything. Thanks again!

CL, I hope you feel better! Make sure to drink a lot of water.
My 2 cents about Airborne: It does not work. It's been studied and the company was subsequently issued to pay close to $24 million in a recent settlement for false advertising. Also, more of a concern about Airborne: people end up taking too many of them and this is dangerous as there is a TON of Vitamin A in them, which can cause substantial damage to your liver. There was a recent publication in Nature If it does work... it's most likely placebo effect.

sore throat
I have sinus drainage at various times of the year that mimics onset of a sore throat. As mentioned above I use Zicam products and usually get pretty good relief unless it's a bacterial infection or a dratted viral infection that's going to take it's course...
Wishing you the best and hope it's just nerves!

I also suffer from strep throat so many times but i never take medicines or go to doctor according to me home remedies is the best treatment for this disease i have also seen a very good article on natural remedies for sore and atrep throat. Do gargle with salt water 4-5 times a day.mix half tea-spoon salt with warm water gargle it and then spit out.
Melt one-half teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of heated water and then gargle it.Take 1 sppon of honey and ginger juice and take a liitle bit of turmeric powder mix all these things and then drink it.please visit (spam link deleted by mmglobal... leaving post because it was responded to. CindyLou... nice to see you, I hope you are well!) to know more about remedies. hope you will feel better soon. Last edited by mmglobal; 03-17-2013 at 07:17 PM.

Anuju62 (did I get that right?), just so you know, I posted that thread on "a sore throat coming on" 4 years ago! If you are new to this community, that's probably why you didn't notice that small detail.
Anyway, sounds like you have a good plan in place that works for you when you feel a sore throat coming on. My Dad was a big proponent of gargling w the warm salt water, and I agree w you too, I think it really helps. CL
