I am not feeling too well today. Felt a ticklish sensation in my throat throughout the day. Felt tired and lethargic while teaching. Just aren't feeling well.
Must be due to my lacking of sleep the past weeks. The stress must have overpowered my immune system and created a havoc in my body.
As soon as I experience that sore, uneasy feeling on my throat, I would always rush for a glass of water, add 2-3 tablespoons of salt. Gargle rigorously (of course in the privacy of my home...la). You know la..with the unladylike sound and gesture...!
According my family doc, "Warm salt water can remove viruses from the tonsils that lie at the base of the throat region. These viruses are the main culprit for colds and influenza when they spread through our body".
This remedy always work for me....though not all the time but the success rate is almost 90%.
Apart from salt gargling, I would camel myself and attempt to drink plenty of fluid. And get some sleep (which is impossible coz I have other commitments..ie my tuition classes, my studies, chaufeuring my boy for his classes, housework...etc). Hectic...
Alright, I'm going to bed a lil earlier today. Rest assured that my body is working hard to destroy those viruses and getting rid of them while I sleep.
Good nite.
