I have a tickle in my throat
I had my flu shot this year, but for the last hour I have been coughing and have a tickle in my throat.

Could I be coming down with something, and what should I do to nip this in the bud, before it takes hold, like the flu or something?

Re: I have a tickle in my throat
the flu shot is no guarantee that you will not get the flu.

keep in mind the flu is a virus. there are no cures or absolute protections from a virus.

Re: I have a tickle in my throat
Maybe it could be the flu starting, but my body will fight it off because of the flu shot?

They told me the flu shot would only protect me from 3 strains...so really, since the flu virus morphs, I could be as vulnerable as anyone...

Re: I have a tickle in my throat
A tickle in the throat could seem like a minor thing, but when you are faced with killer flu's like I have been (last year I could barely breathe from congestion) you get paranoid as hell about any little thing like a tickle.

Hope you get better and not worse. Sending you some healing vibes - if you don't mind.

Do you have any echinacea?
Personal responsibility - try it sometime. Quit blaming others for your bad choices. Consequences happen.

No I don't, I heard that the stuff doesn't really work, but have wondered about it over the years. Thanks for the healing vibes. Most appreciated! hf

Getting over that horrible cold did WAY more for your immune system than a flu shot could. You now have natural antibodies against whatever you had and wouldn't have gotten it again.

Anyways, eat a large dose of vitamin C, as natural as possible. Go buy some oranges. And get some garlic and try to incorporate raw garlic in your next meal. Bruschetta is a good thing to eat, lots of garlic!

The garlic will help kill off whatever is infecting you. You will notice a major difference within 24 hours.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 600833


Garlic is an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral food. For medicinal purposes, try 7-8 raw cloves a day. You'll smell really garlicky for a while but it will probably help. Up to 10 grams of vitamin C should be OK to nip it, then 1 to 2 grams a day maintenance. Try a buffered (less acidic) form for tolerance. Something with a food in it like acerola cherry or rose hips is usually better than just plain ascorbic acid. If you get diarrhea, cut back until it passes. You might also go to a store that sells bulk herbs and ask them what they recommend as a tea.

Re: I have a tickle in my throat
A note on the raw garlic: it's really hot so you might combine it with something coating, such as peanut butter, so it doesn't burn your digestive tract.
