First off Ms. Faux is by no means a doctor, but she did used to work for some back in the day when going to college. Below are a few things I learned from them when dealing with fevers and severely sore throats as well as a product I would love to share as one that rivals my beloved Riccola Cough Drops for greatest Cough Drop Ever.
So take this advice at your own risk, because remember... Ms. Faux ain't got no Ph.D.! They have however worked.
Tip 1: Alternate Advil and Tylenol to bring down a fever
Don't ask me the science behind it but it apparently works.
Tip 2: For a severe sore throat make the following mixture, gargle and spit out (DO NOT SWALLOW).
Mix in a 1:1 ratio liquid Benadryl and Malox. Doctor's refer to it as the Magic Mouthwash. If you can get a prescription for a liquid lidocaine that has also been added on a 1:1:1 ration.
The doctors I worked for recommended this for severe sore throats, thrush and canker sores as a mouthwash and/or gargle. The Benadryl attacks the inflamation and Mylanta soothes the area. I swear by this concoction and will use it when I get my severe sore throats.
Tip 3: Possibly taking over as my new favorite cough drop is...
What is it? According to YoungLiving.com...
Thieves® Hard Lozenges will refresh your mouth and breath and provide soothing relief for your throat. Lightly sweetened with the low-glycemic sugar maltitol, these lozenges deliver the power of Thieves®, the university-tested essential oil blend, along with the flavor of natural peppermint and lemon essential oil.
Ingredients
Lemon (Citrus Limon) rind, Thieves®: Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) flower/bud, Lemon (Citrus Limon) rind, Cinnamon(cinnamomum verum) bark, Eucalyptus(E. radiata) leaf, Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf oil, Peppermint (Mentha piperita) leaf, Pectin, Stevioside (Stevia rebaudiana) leaf, water
What does Ms. Faux think?
Well like Riccola, I love that these are all natural, but more than that I love that the clove helps to numb your throat while all of those other oils help to soothe just everything. They are medicinal tasting and I just love them. Thought they don't claim the same claims as their essential oils (See in my blog about favorite cold remedies), I do feel like they helped with my recovery.
So there are a few ways that Ms. Faux stole from her doctors on how to fight a cold.
Have you tried any of these remedies? What did you think?
Any remedies you would like to share? Ms. Faux want to know.
Leave it all in the comments.
Also if ya'll love it please tell all of your friends and follow her on the following sites. If you don't... tell your enemies and just sit back and laugh at how they were sent to my ramblings. And remember... if you don't look good, then Ms. Faux be lookin' like a damn fool.
