I know if it doesn't go away I should see a doctor, but I'm looking for any tips going to keep it at bay 'til Sunday morning. Having spent the weekend in hospital (unrelated, although on further thought the anaethetic stuff could have upset my throat I guess) my parents are being a little cautious about me going back to uni on Saturday. I am determined to go, apart from anything else they need a break from looking after me!
So, my voice is squeaking a bit and it hurts when I swallow. Suggestions please!

:yes:
Gargal Tee Tree Oil. (this is meant to work, but I've never tried it)
Yeah, it works for some people. Two or three drops in a glass of (I prefer lukewarm) water. You can also use echinacea extract in the same way, but neither work for me.
Fennel tea is something a lot of people seem to have lying around. I actually do drink it, but a lot of people think it tastes so utterly vile they can only gargle and spit it back up... involuntarily in most cases :razz:
