thanks for the questions!
When is the sore throat worse...at night, early morning? do you wake up with it...does it persist through the day?
Its pretty constant but worse if I have a viral flue which has been going around here a lot. yes it persists all the time more or less but sometimes i dont notice it..
Is there any pain or discomfort when swallowing..if so is it worse with liquids or solids?
nope its ok, same as. no discomfort eating at all
Do you have a cough...if so...dry or productive...if productive what is the colour of the sputum
smokers cough! quite mucousy i would say quite productive.. greenish.. im always phlemmy always have been! i think i need reduce my garlic and smoking intake!
Did the doctor examine your throat...
yes, he did and said it was very minor
was it swabbed for culture and sensitivity before antibiotics?
nope! naturally not in kodai.. it was in a private hospital ;-)
Please don't take any antibiotics without having this test done.
OK! thats what i want to know! yes maybe i should test it properly.. not sure if they can do it well in Kodai but might be worth a shot!
Do you have acid reflux?
no im OK.
And of course this gives me an opportunity to nag you once again after so many years to give up smoking :)
YES mathew, yes.. omg its SO hard in Karuna..
THANK YOU! i will get a swab done next time i can! xx
Hey Alex just giving my little 2 paisa from a very different angle.
You mentioned it came back with a vengeance and you feel the lump.
You either under express or over express. In my view, you under express. You have a lot that you have stored deep within and you are somewhere manipulating your own emotions, may be that's not the exact word, but I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Your throat chakra is out of balance and that's where you feel the lump. It's ok to release and let it go. Do not feel scared of expressing, crying out and allowing your true feelings to come out. It would be safe to do that.
I may be wrong with my whole interpretation, but the root cause of every physical problem lies deep within us. It's the energy block, if you clear that, the rest will just flow. Even chanting may not help you, cause till the time you do not release, you will just be burying it further within you and that will only build up.
thank you SO much for this,.., of Course i know what you are talking about,.,.
I will see my Mum in two weeks, first time in a few years!!! I have been wondering if i should finally speak my mind with her.. .. this comment makes me realise,. i really need to! <3 thank you angel!
I pray that you can clear the air between you both. Good luck and best wishes Alex 💗
