Hi deep throat. Coke with salt is old wives remedy to bring on missed period :p

Funnies aside, few things you can do (other than gargling with salt) -lozenges from pharmacy? Also can be due to dry air, so make use of your misty fans. Go easy on smokes (bet they don't "taste"good as before) meanwhile. Fluids too (not sure of your Leos)

Some sensible home remedies

go to bed......tomorrow morning wake up before anything else disolve a tablespoonful or 2 of salt in water and gulp it all down......instant remedy.

i prefer to use sea salt with ice water.......but as long as got salt and water can liao

 

[chonburifc]

Thanks to all bros for the advice. Tried the salt solution liaoz. Also switch to menthol ciggies. Think feel better on the throat. Will not drink sang som again.

 

[Froggy]

Why don't you just try menthol sweets instead of ciggies?

Bro see if this story is motivation enough...

Got a buddy back kena hospitalize............chain smoker all his life......everyone ask him to quit before........same same smoker's reasoning.....no cigs i die better.

went for bypass surgery cut a big hole in his heart......after that doctor told him if he want to live must give up cigarettes......never touch a cig since then and living happily till now.

Another old wives tale, menthol cancer sticks bad can stunt junior's organic growth. In LOS, see more than a few puyings doing LM menthol

i would say keep smoking. when i stopped, i gained weight!

 

[chonburifc]

Hehehe. Me quite hardcore smoker. Still remember, once when I was hospitalised, ask my friend to 'da bao' a packet of marlboro lights but he forgot the lighter! Cut story short, smoke in the toilet, staircases and bus stop. Missy caught me so many times until gave up.

Airplane toilet also tried before but this one have to be careful. Can only smoke 3-4 puff and have to flush the cigarette cos' sure kena smoke detector.

Now in Thonglor's Japanese Village in Soi 13. First time in this restaurant Gyu-Muru Japanese BBQ.

This last pic is raw tongue with a raw egg. In addition to this we has beef soup, kimchi etc and of course sake

Bro, you may want to try this crude but damn effective method of my oLd grandma's :
1. Dip a wet chopstick onto some tabLe saLt, say about 1/2 inch coverage of saLts.
2. Open your mouth facing a mirror.
3. Dab the saLt onto your epigLottis, and go around it for a coupLe of seconds, says 20-30 secs.
4. Close your mouth and Let the saLt works for a coupLe of minuites.
5. LightLy rinse off by drinking a taLL gLass of water.
6. Rest and recover.
7. sLowLy your voice shaLL be back, and your soreness gone ..

I love Thailand. Can find such great and authentic Japanese food at reasonable price.

Hey fishypie, thanks for this. I think a little difficult for me cos' I surely throw out. One problem is I continue to smoke, that's why healing process took so long. But consolation is one of my staff commented my voice damm sexy. Hehehehe.

On a finaL note, do away with any MenthoL cigs; they are actuaLLy part of your current condition.These are the so-caLLed throat-tickLers ! ~

OK, got back my induction cooker. Have not use for a long time. Bought a packed of cooked Khao Suay (cooked rice) from BigC food court (THB 5). Not very happy with the results cos' rice still too sticky (need to use overnight rice) and left out Nam Pla (fish sauce). Fried rice a little soggy but nevertheless will finish it. Think need more practice.
