I'm just getting over my sore throat. It hit me suddenly this weekend and left me miserable for a few days. It didn't stop me from taking up a free trip to Disneyland on Sunday though :P Yes, that's two trips to D-Land within about a week. I guess it's that time of year for sore throats so in case you are affected, here are some tips from FitSugar:

* Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like aspirin, naproxen or ibuprofen.
* Gargle a few times daily with a warm salt water solution, created with one teaspoon of salt in a glass of water.
* Suck on hard candies or throat lozenges throughout the day to keep the throat moist.
* Eat a frozen dessert, such as a popsicle or ice cream, to soothe the throat.
* In the less humid months of winter, keep a humidifier going in the bedroom while you sleep, and in other rooms you frequent during the day.
* Drink plenty of fluids.
