SherrieC's Journal, 19 April 2014

This is gonna sound strange, yesterday my mom was really sick with allergy's. As the afternoon went on my throat was starting to get scratchy, But I still went to the gym with hubby. Last night my throat was killing me and felt like I was swallowing razor blades. This morning I still feel like crap.

Question: ( Yep another question) I know it is not just in my head thinking that I am sick, but Is it Allergy's or really a cold? I am not sure how to tell the difference, because I never really had allergy's before.

Oh and good morning everyone !!

Good question. We thought DH might be suffering from allergies. But then I caught it. So it must be a cold because I can't catch his allergies. :-) Either way, hope you are feeling better soon!

Look down throat and make sure you don't see white postules (strep throat). Gargle with lemon and honey, or salt water. Hope you feel better.

Well BAH! Allergies just tend to feel different for me - a little less severe. Regardless, sick is sick. Just feels bad no matter what is making it happen! Kinda sounds like yours might be more of a cold since you really haven't had a bad problem with allergies before. Whatever it is, I hope it clears out soon!

Ginsin, I just went and tried to look down my throat with a flashlight and almost gagged, but did see a couple of white spots. Thank you Vickie and Deaby. Took my temp earlier and it was a low grade fever, so now I am drinking a beer to help soothe my throat and help me relax on the sofa. It really sucks to sneeze though, lots of tiny razor blades in my throat. Thank You again everyone for your input, it is much appreciated.

Mom always made us gargle with warm salt water which usually helped a lot.

That's the way mine started last week! Throat felt so bad Sunday that I thought it was strep! It took a couple of days for that to calm down and the coughing to start; but the sneezing came right from the beginning (that's why I was thinking 'allergies' early on. No such luck...Start now, get rest and pour in the fluids. I didn't because I wasn't sure it was a cold...
