I really like how I did not notice that each Halls throat thing is 15 calories each! Lets just say there are 30 in a bag and I have probably eaten over 20....They aren't even working...My throat still feels like its being ripped up by a grizzly bear. [face-palm]

Anyone else having one of these moments today?

It's medicine so those calories totally don't count

jelique7 · July 2010

Ok that makes me feel a little better. I just want to know how that pack those 15 calories into this small little round thing...

A sore throat is not the time to be calorie counting, at least in my book.

My boss has used the phrase "in the 9th hour" at least 3 times today and it makes me want to rip his arm off and beat him with it.

My bet is sugar.

Yes my guess too. They have sugar free ones and I am going to go on a hunt for those kind once i finish this bag. They just seem too small to have 15 calories...5 calories would be reasonable not 15.

katiewhompus · July 2010

Double check the package, sometimes it will be 50 cal/serving, and then 10 pieces are a serving so it's really 5 per candy.

I was feeling a bit stressed, but then I laughed at the mental image of Cew beating a man with his own arm.

You know, if you use too many of those you'll build up immunity and they'll no longer be effective.

katiewhompus · July 2010

Riiicoolaaa.

Actually my favorite thing for sore throats is tea. Either Throat Coat or Slippery Elm Bark tea. They make your throat feel fabulous.

Try the numbing ones, not just the ones that soothe.

I always use Cepacol. They should sell them at your local pharmacy - one works for like 3-4 hours. Or if it's really bad, talk to your doctor about a prescription for liquid lidocaine. That stuff will work wonders - I had H1N1 and the worst sore throat of my life (couldn't even swallow water, it hurt so bad) and the lidocaine made life much more livable.

Feel better!

jelique7 · July 2010

The bag says 15 per drop.

Roxy i didn't know that. I guess it makes sense. This is my first time i have had these in probably a year. I don't get sick very often but when i do, its bad. Luckily its just my throat and my ears today.

jelique7 · July 2010

Thanks i think i will go out and try to find some of that tea! Also different kind of drops, this is not working out.

meg- this is only day 2 of soar throat an im oot at my FIs house so i have to wait until i go back home.

catemeg · July 2010

Get Cepacol then, if you can't get a prescription yet! Those things have the same active ingredient, just far smaller dose.

Or you can call your doctor - they'll call in that prescription no problem usually. It's not exactly something people would abuse - it tastes nasty, and all it does is numb your throat.

katiewhompus · July 2010

Also Sucrets have worked really well for me in the past. The cough drop, not the personn

[Deleted User] · July 2010

Isn't a tablespoon of honey a good remedy for a sore throat? Or is that for chapped lips? I don't remember.

Either way, feel better soon!

Watch your ass (er, literally) if you do. Most sugar free candy and I'm guessing Halls would be the same, has a warning that consuming too much will cause a laxative effect.

Hot tea with lemon, honey and a drop of whiskey!

Miss_Sophia · July 2010

I know this comes rather late dealing with your grizzly ridden throat but have you heard of Cold-Eeze throat drops? The cherry ones are great and they totally numb you and if taken early enough help me get rid of the throat issues quicker.

I hope you start feeling better soon, it stinks to be sick in the summer! Especially if you're dealing with the extreme humidity like I am.
