It’s Laryngitis,

[Bobbisox1]

Vocal chords are a high pitched squeak now , nothing I can take bar the dreaded honey, oh woe is me but Mr B seems quite happy :0(

[wolf63]

Did the doctor not give you something to take? Sore throats are awful - you can't talk or eat! Get Well soon.

[Bobbisox1]

No, I didn’t bother going to the Doctors , there’s nothing he could have given me as it’s a virus and there’s far more pressing cases for them to see to , throat isn’t sore just a dry cough affecting vocal chords

[Hazlinny]

You must sound like a wee mouse, Bobbi. Joking apart, hope you feel better real soon. x

[Bobbisox1]

I’m very squeaky Haz, just dreading going to bed because that’s when the hacking cough will start again , thanks

You can now have unlimited ice cream and jelly. Don't tell me you think of them in the same way you do honey. Where has your inne child gone?

[jourdain2]

Poor you. I've suffered from it several times (teacher's usual risk). The worst time was when I was forbidden from speaking at all for a fortnight!!! Just try it ---- actually, seriously, do try it. I had a notebook, but these days you may have a notebook or something you can type on faster than writing.

I'm certain you know all the other stuff, fluids etc.. Don't forget the benefits of good old Vick Vapour Rub. I'm still coughing after 'flu, but it's by the bed and giving me a decent night's sleep. Get weel soon. (Does that mean your OH is now making a figure of me and sticking needles in?)

[Bobbisox1]

I’m going to try the old Vick on the soles of my feet tonight , with trainer socks for bed, it’ll stink but who cares :0(
Never thought of cooling ice creamLJ , I have white chocolate Magnums in the freezer and I’ll try the none talking Jourdain, thanks all xx

I had laryngitis a few weeks before Xmas. It lasted about a week. I thought, great! I'll be OK now. Then I had some sort of virus, flu like symptoms and a chesty cough, which lasted 2-3 weeks :-(
Hope you get over yours quicker, Bobbie:-)

[Atheist]

Bobbi... I always thought that Vick should be rubbed on your chest so that you inhale the fumes. Do you sniff your toes in the night?

[Bobbisox1]

Thank you Patsy,
Apparently the vapour rises through the body Atheist , not sure if that’s true but anything’s worth a go

[jourdain2]

Bobbi - my Vick is firmly rubbed on my chest and throat!

[Bobbisox1]

I’ll try anything Jourdain , I’ll be in bed like a giant Vapour rub

[Atheist]

I believe that garlic rubbed on the soles of your feet rises up through your body, but I didn't know that Vick does. Good luck.
