Theoretically, that stuff was supposed to help me sleep.
In actual practice, though, it kept me up (no more than dozing, that is) until nearly 2:00 a.m. Then, just as I was getting tired again, the sore throat came back, because the medicine had worn off.
It's a good thing I'd already planned to be home sick today.

Date: 2004-12-10 12:29 pm (UTC)So, any suggestions about what will make my throat feel better without keeping me awake? I'm not really congested through the sinuses, just a really heavy chest and vocal chords with no room to vibrate.

I think you mentioned some laryngitis. This is irritation and inflammation of the vocal chords. Rest of the voice is the only real way to make it better. No singing for a couple days and minimal talking will help things along.
Keep in mind that these are only suggestions as I don't have your full list of medications you are taking or all your allergies.
If you need more information, call me at work FOUR-ONE-SIX NINE-SEVEN-NINE ZERO-SEVEN-SEVEN-ZERO.
Get better otherwise you'll be no fun at

Date: 2004-12-10 12:55 pm (UTC)I think I have all of those things you mentioned around her somewhere. Otherwise, I'll get Piet to drop me at the pharmacy on his way to work. It's not a long walk back.
It's a good thing I'm not at school today. It would be almost impossible to avoid a practice for Monday's Christmas assembly, and that would mean singing.
I sent two kids to the office yesterday for doing things that made me yell, thereby hurting my voice. :) They were suitably cowed.

I like helping people. I just never have time to do it properly and a lot people are kind of rude or in a hurry.
Being able to go to the bathroom when I want would be a bonus too...
