Sore throats are the worst.
I am usually alright with being a little sick, but when my throat aches I am a mess. For the past couple of days I've been dealing with a very sad, scratchy throat & some rather unfourtunate headaches. I have also learned just how hard it is to take care of a little one when you are so sleepy & so achy.
Do any of you have tips for dealing with an illness while caring for your babes? So far I've been trying to up my liquid intake, enjoying some Tylenol & making sure I'm getting lots of Vitamin C. The only thing that I wish I could have is some throat lozenges -- sadly they aren't recommended for the breastfeeding crowd, so I am settling for gargling salt water (ew).
I hope you're all feeling much more wonderful than I am on this fine, sunny Wednesday.
Much love.

Sorry to hear you are sick-- I hope you feel better soon!
Awe, thank you so much Elaine! I hope so too.
I find that warm liquids are really soothing for my throat, I know you already drink a lot of tea, try soup and stuff like that as well, also helps with your fluid intake :) Zinc might help give you a boost too... Hm do you have any fever at all? If you have you might wanna check in at the doctor to make sure it's not strep seeing as it's very contagious
Get well soon!
Ooh zinc is a good idea too :)
I thankfully don't have a fever or any of those yucky white splotches in my throat, so I don't think it's strep -- that wouldn't be fun at all! and that would definitely ruin my birthday :)
