So the throat infection is still really bad. My tonsils are totally swollen. Any attempts at talking not only sound like I have balls of cotton in my mouth, but also devolve eventually into choking. :( Considering my job is to talk to people all day, this is not a good mix, and I decided this morning to just give in and call in sick. Really

When I was a kid, I discovered a trick for hurting ears and throat...

You will need
2 Q-tips
1 Bottle Ambesol...

If you load the Q-Tip with Ambesol and gently squeeze it in your ear against the bottom of your ear canal, the numbness will move down your eustation tubes and down into your throat.

Use the second Q-tip to squeeze a bit of Ambesol at the very back of your jaw, where the 2 bones hinge. This will coat the other end of the tube.

Don't use too much, and I'm warning you, it taste terrible, so avoid your tongue....:P I'm not a doctor, obviously. But this always got me through school.
