[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 397731"] IF that sore throat is strep, you'll end up like me last year - wishing you had gone in for antibiotic. Strep, when it gets bad can back up into the ear, eyes and nose. Mine got so bad it backed up into the ear and ruptured my ear drum, twice (resealed and then ruptured a second time). Then I had the luxury of Scarlet Fever which is a bad allergic reaction to strep toxoid in the body and causes massive peeling of skin on the feet, hands, trunk of the body and other areas. The problem with SF is that you have a higher chance of getting Rhumatic Fever which can be deadly and destroys joints and tissues around the joints. I will, for the rest of my life, have a higher risk factor for RF now. All because I didn't want to go in to the ER (no doctor here, we're on the waiting list) and wait the three hours to get antibiotics. Pure, unadulterated stupid laziness on my part honestly. Now I have risk factors. With your eating disorder you can't afford not to take care of the rest of you health wise so that you can focus on getting that disorder better for you. Like others suggested, tell them not to tell you what you weigh because it's a trigger for you (don't even have to say it's an eating disorder trigger) and close your eyes. You need those antibiotics. If you absolutely will not go in. Organic, unpasturized honey, garlic (fresh, whole cloves) up your vit D&C, zinc and use a hot lemon\honey & garlic sipping tea. The garlic has anti-bacterial properties, anti-viral and anti-fungal. The D&C will help boost your immune system. The honey will coat your sore throat. You can make a tincture of the garlic in a pan with a bit of water, strain it and then use it for the sore ear. When you bathe, use your blow dryer to dry your ears on the low setting. Keep those ears dry! Wet, moist and humid means bacterial growth. Honey is also a natural anti-bacterial and will kill off the "good stuff" that bacteria, particularly streph, staph and other badies love to feed on.
