Answer #1

Anything cold to help numb the throat and patience.

I find when I’m in a lot of pain, sometimes the best way to deal with it is to just try to sleep through it as much as possible.

This, too, will pass.

Answer #2

eat vanilla ice cream and stir it up in a blender so it isnt really thick. then just eat it with a spoon it will be really numbing and soothing. other than that I don’t think theres much you can do. just sit with some dvds and wait for it to pass.

Answer #3

I had mine out at christmas so I know how ye feel :( .. its horrible.. ice cream didn’t work for me at all eider did ibuproufen I could hardly even swallow water… what I did was make up a glass of solphadol and drink it really really sowly it softens the water so its easier to drink and also it helps with the pain..it has to be prescribed tough because its a stronger version of the over the counter one… when your finished one glass wait an hour and make another.. just remember to drink it really slowly so you dont overdose… also I remember the doc saying something about suppository meds you can take for pain if you cant take the normal ones.. thankfully I never had to use them but you should ask your doc about it … try bare it out the pain lessons after about a week and a half… Hope you feel better soon… Xo:)
