hey great time to get a cold, it's supposed to snow in the valley tonight
Ok, enough with the cheery news .. .. If your throat is mega sore, some folks have found sucking on crushed ice is helpful, or really cold diet jello. There are sugar-free popsicles around too.
For me, I prefer warm things, so tea of course, and hot chicken or beef bouillon is nice. I'd avoid the powders and liquid concentrates, they are full of sugar, corn syrup solids and modified starch. Here in Ontari-ari-ari-o you can find Knorr brand bouillon cubes ... they're the ones in the little yellow box, with green lettering. Each cube makes 2 cups, and there's no sugar. There's no carb count on the box .... but I bought similar vegetable-based, sugar-free cubes at the health food store, and they were 0.6g carb per cup (½ cube), so that's what I count for these.
Slightly salted warm water is an effective and soothing gargle if your throat gets really sore.
Hope it's just a 24 hr. bug
