Ok so i woke up with a bitch of a sore throat today and im supposed to be rolling tonight. What would you do?

Throat losengers aside (they arnt helping much), im thinking about taking some neurofen plus painkillers or something throughout the evening to ease the pain.

Can anyone suggest any other things i could do/take to make the sore throat less severe (or the symptons less severe)?

Please dont say "stay at home in bead you twat!" coz i've already got that lecture several times.. ;)
 
maybe u got that lecture because thats what u should do?

but keep in mind, that while rolling there is usually a big strain on your immune system, plus the cold weather of winter, you are more than likely going to end up worse off.

also, if u arent feeling the best, frame of mind plays a big part in drugs for most people, so if your not feeling the best, you might have a sub standard roll.

if i was in your shoes, id prolly still go out with my mates, and just look after myself.
 
yeah nah i realise that the INTELLIGENT thing to do would be to stay home ;)

but i intend to go out tonight regardless of people's suggestions and so im just lookin for ways to make me feel a little better

i will be taking it pretty easy...ruggin up nice and warm and not goign to hard...and im aware that this will more than liekly make my cold worse come tomorow

none the less im lookin for a quick fix! so who's got em? :D
 
a bullet


besides that, lemsip and gargle warm saltwater a few times throughout the day
 
ive had some chewable vit c's

is disprin the same as asprin? coz i have asprin...but will pruchase disprin if its better....
 
Disprin is the water soluble version of asprin, intended for gargling.

Sorry to tell you this, but there's no "quick fix" that will make you feel better. If you're planning on doing this, the best thing you can do is take a multivitamin and extra Vitamin C and cross your fingers. You'll undoubtedly feel like shit tomorrow but it doesn't seem like that's of much concern to you :\

P.S. Who takes E on a Tuesday anyway?
 
There is a event happening in QLD tonight because of the Ekka holiday. It's probably that.
 
I know how you feel.

I feel like shit, but I'm going go anyway.

I bought my tickets 4 weeks ago

I know I'll regret it , I just hope I don't have an athma attack or something...

Is there any chance that maybe you could venture out without taking drugs?? Or is there no chance you can enjoy yourself without them? are people so boring these days that without drugs they cant have fun or socialise, even when they know its going to leave them worse off?

You have my pitty.
 
I went out last year with a "sore throat" and ended up very ill with tonsilitis.
Dont be stupid your health comes first.
 
If you go out and take pills with a sore throat tonight, you're going to feel like shit tommorow.
It doesn't matter how much vitamin C, echinacea, asprin, whatever you take. Especially if you're dancing around alot, I wouldn't want to do that if I was sick, even if I wasn't taking a pill.
I'm sure you'll live though, so if you really want to feel like crap thats your problem. 8)
 
The people above are right stating that taking drugs will put a big strain on your immune system and more than likely make you more sick. You are best off to not indulge. However, I have taken pills with a sore throat/cold. The pain completely went away once the pill kicked in, and I had an absolute ball!
 
I'm probably writing this to someone who is going to ignore it but I'll post this anyway. Don't go out when your sick. Fair enough you might not care if you make your condition worse and don't mind spending the rest of your week in bed not being able to talk but at least think about your fellow ravers. Everyone jumping around in a nice air tight room sharing each others germs.

Spread the love, not the fever ;)
