Getting sick

Space Princess, on April 23, 2017 at 8:53 PM Posted in Planning 0 23

I think I may have strep, I'm only 6 days out from the wedding. My throat is killing me, I'm gonna go to the Dr tomorrow. Anyone else get sick right before the big day?

    Gargle with warm salt water... may sound crazy but do it 5 or so times it'll help!

    If it's Strep, you'll get antibiotics that will make you feel better within a day. It honestly might be a better situation than a bad cold virus in terms of recovery time. Good luck! I hope you get better soon

    2 tablespoons lemon juice, 8 oz of hot water and however much honey you'd like and GET LOTS OF REST! The best you can! Feel better.

    Oh no- strep is the worst! It's good that you're going to the DR tomorrow. I second gargling warm water mixed with salt until you go in. I hope you feel better!

    I had terrible stomach pains the week of the wedding and felt sick everyday but I think it was just the stress getting to me because I was fine on the day of the wedding!!

    Drink lots of fluids and get as much extra rest as you can spare! I hope you feel better, OP!

    I ended up with a UTI the week before and was on antibiotics for half of our honeymoon. It definitely sucked...

    I hope you get some medicine tomorrow and feel better soon!! Good luck!!

    Last year I had the most godawful sore throat and I was convinced it was strep. It wasn't so the dr didn't give me antibiotics, and instead told me to take Motrin round the clock. I took as much as allowed in a 24 hour period, round the clock, and that combined with gargling warm salt water really did work. Hope you feel better!!

    Get to the doc (even a doc in a box can diagnose strep) to get formally diagnosed and get on the antibiotics ASAP. Have emergen-c every day, gargle with salt water, drink lots of herbal tea with honey, and rest up! Feel better!

    I I'm just getting over a flu that knocked me out for three days. It started with a sore throat. I swore it was strep. Gargle with salt dissolved in warm water. Get to a doctor asap for meds in case it is strep. Your immune system is less than stellar probably due to all the stress.
