Husky voice...

I got husky voice now...Got sore throat mmmmmm... *poor me*
My tonsil and uvula area felt real uncomfortable yesterday... Like grains of sand were glued to the back of my throat! And just as my whole tongue and back throat started to go numb, my supply of Difflam ran out...
With no pharmacy nearby (lazy to drive all the way anyway), I remembered the 'iklan' Strepsils where it is indicated that if one feels like the uvula has turned into a sawing machine, sucking Strepsils can blunt the edges and ultimately restore the uvula to health! Ta-da!
Luckily the supermarket next door to our office have the lozenges.
After reading the labels of various Strepsils flavour, I decided the Blackcurrant Strepsils was the most suitable as it has a numbing effect to relieve sore throat...
And boy, did it numb my tongue! Same effect as Difflam...
Food suddenly tasted like paper and my appetite gone off to a brief vacation.
But alas, even with no appetite and a numb tongue... I feel bloated and buncit... *sigh*
So what's the point of this entry you ask me?
Saja I want to rant and rave about having a dratted sore throat...
Anyone else with the same malady?
What you guys taking to relieve the scratchy feeling?
Anyway, I do hope you guys are in tip-top health... I'm blaming it all on this miserable weather we're having these pass weeks
Meanwhile... looks like I have to talk less (cos' it hurts to speak out loud!) like this cute monkey hehe...

Story-Mory ~~ I for one hate to be sick so as soon as I get the sniffles, I would pop a flu pill that night and the next day I'm cured... For the sore throat, in early stages, I drink loads of warm water and I gargle with salt-water a few times a day - NO COLD STUFF mind you... And if nothing works and I get a headache or fever, I go to the good ol' doc for medicine. That's what medical benefit and MC is for, dearie!

Hmmm, a sore throat sure makes the voice sounds sexier... hehe
Anyway, I'd normally take a few spoonful of 'King To Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa' or Ubat Batuk Cap Ibu & Anak. Manis like crazy but it works for me, make sure you drink it as it is, no water to swallow the thick syrupy medicine.
If possible, try not to talk, pakai sign language so as not to aggravate the sore throat. Get well soon :) -
