Pharyngitis Again

I am already losing count of how many times I have contacted pharyngitis. I think, it happens to me twice or thrice in a year whenever there is a season change. I was very up and about few days ago before Wednesday and come 20 November, I already have a pain on my throat, hot eyes and weariness and dizzy spells.

I left early last Wednesday because I couldn't keep my focus. I was feeling very lethargic already. I was sick leave again last Thursday. Since I couldn't stand and my whole body ached, I was unable to go to the doctor that same day.

I had a check up yesterday and yes, it is pharyngitis once again. I am back on medications and I do really pray I get well soon. We are travelling in a week's time and were going to a very cold country. I cannot afford to feel like this.

As soon as I feel better, I will really go to the clinic again and have my vaccine shot.

Down With Pharyngitis Again

I have been inflicted with this condition twice already in a span of 4 months. The bad thing is, I just wake up losing my voice. I am not an ice-cream lover nor enjoy eating sugary and sweet food to make my throat sore but I still get this condition.

My voice is still horrible and broken for 5 days now. I am into medication again and the cough syrup is making me very groggy. I am okay with the twice-a-day antibiotic dosage but I don't know how I am going to survive work tomorrow feeling like this.

I still have my very dry cough and sad to say but I am already getting headaches every time I cough unproductively. The doctor said that a lot of steam can help loosen up the mucous and I will try that today.

I wonder if I got this from my relatives who were here recently. They didn't lose their voices but I did and I was not even going out of the house often. I think I need to crack up my immune system again. I stopped drinking Vitamin C when I took my uric acid medication. I just couldn't take all these pills/tables/capsules anymore. I hope I will be more healthy this year because I have more challenges to face this time.

So people, if you are feeling a sudden ache in your throat, visit your doctor right away. The climate is harsh these days and does not help so avoid drinking cold and eating sweet stuff. Don't strain your voice too much. Gargle with salt water. Drink plenty of fluids. Have plenty of rest. Have steam.

I hope to recover soon. I am back to work tomorrow despite of the lack of voice. I'll be a pantomime show there!
