I know that the title isn't really a question but I really need some help!
I used to be bulimic, in fact I have only gone almost 2 weeks without purging it may not sound like a lot but it's really a challenge. But a day or two after I stopped my throat became REALLY sore, and I would think that things would only get better after stopping. I also quit smoking 2 weeks ago and I was using the nicotine gum habitrol, but I saw a side effect was a sore throat so I haven't used it in 3 days.
I have been keeping myself hydrated constantly, avoiding rough and spicy foods, gargling salt water twice a day and drinking green tea to soothe the pain. Does anyone know how long this will last or anything I can do to make things heal faster? I know it's not a cold or strep because there are NO symptoms (no fever, no cough, no white spots, no swollen glands or anything.)
I know it may take a while… but some peace of mind and knowing how long this will last will help alot. And don't waste your time dissing me because of my old bad habits, I am paying the consequences as I type this.
Thanks for your time. =)
Suggestion:
Sore throats happen. It's probably not related to the bulimia at all. If you have no fever, no trouble breathing, no cough, then keep doing what you're doing. If you develop other symptoms, call your doctor's office. Otherwise, just keep nursing it along until it gets better. If not feeling better after a week, schedule a doctor's appointment.
