ernrol Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Suggested by Katie, For soar mouth or throat I find Water to help me the most. If I keep to my 8oz glass of water for every hour I am awake, then I have the least trouble with soar throat. Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I had a prescription for Carafate - one of the most vile liquid medicines I have ever been unlucky enough to have to swallow. Prior to the prescription, my radiation oncologist suggest George's pure aloe extract. It's a liquid and I drank a shot (as in a shot glass) of aloe four times a day - any more than that and you'll end up with diarrhea. This helped with the mild irritation, when it got worse, it was a shot of the aloe and then the dose of Carafate. I found that anything liquid was extremely hard to swallow, but Double Stuf Oreos went down pretty easily (and have 70 calories a cookie). For some reason, being able to "fool" my throat with mushy food that just kinda slid down vs. taking a real swallow of anything helped. The actual act of swallowing brought discomfort - and I wasn't real worried about the calories being bad, I was losing a lot of weight since I avoided swallowing whenever possible. Wish I could do that on sheer will power now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
