K Be Good! 63 Posted January 18, 2021 So I have viral pharyngitis. It’s basically strep throat without the strep bacteria. Today is day three. It’s the worst. I’m 6 weeks out from a gastric sleeve. I only got one Protein Shake, and two bites of dinner yesterday. Today I’m 1/3 of the way through a Gatorade zero. Things are getting dire. Dehydration is a real threat in the coming days if I can’t get fluids down because of my throat pain and nausea. I tried the throat numbing lozenges but they don’t work and make me nauseous. I tried Tylenol to no improvement. In the past ibuprofen worked but I can’t take that anymore. I just downed a zofran, a Pepcid, and a left over norco. Any other advise? I go back to work tomorrow and I’ll be damned if I’m calling in. Though with Covid they might not let me in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
