<p>I thought the sore throat would go away if I drank a lot of water and ate alot of twix candy bars, but apparently it didn’t. </p>
<p>Will Ashe center give me prescriptions? If so, how would I be able to get one?</p>
<p>it’s getting really bad.</p>
<p>I hope your kidding (at least about the Twix bars). A prescription for what? Perhaps an appointment for an exam and recommendations to start?</p>
<p>prescription for a sore throat?</p>
<p>whats wrong with the ashe center?</p>
<p>ok then, what are your recommendations?</p>
<p>i would go to the ashe website and make an appointment to see a doctor…he/she could probably give you a prescription then</p>
<p>are you absolutely positive?</p>
<p>My recommendation is to see a doctor, let him/her figure out is what’s wrong, and make a reccomendatim based on that. There is no prescription for a “sore throat”. It depends on why it’s sore. FOR EXAMPLE most upper respiratory infections are viral and will last 2 weeks with or without treatment. Adding an unnecessary antibiotic often means treating the yeast infection (if your a girl) that follows. Have you ever had a yeast infection. Gahhh! A “prescription” is not the answer to everything, or even most things, and getting a “prescription” is not the only reason to see a doctor.</p>
<p>P.S. what’s the story with the Twix bars???</p>
<p>P.S.S. I used to wonder why my sore throat wouldn’t so away when I took communion… I mean c’mon, it’s the body of Christ!!</p>
<p>how long have you had it?</p>
<p>for me a sore throat is usually a precursor for a cold or flu or something. theres a lot of OTC meds that can relieve sore throat symptoms. goto CVS/ralphs and browse the medication aisle. you could also talk to the pharmacists for a quick consult.</p>
<p>I had a sore throat last quarter that lasted something like 2 weeks (during finals too -_-), and it was horrible. The only thing I’d recommend is Halls as much as it directs you to consume safely, 'cause it was just utter pain when I coughed.</p>
<p>Yeah I think I have it too. Every time I speak, I’m forced to cough. This has been going on for the past 2.5 weeks. Should I be getting worried?</p>
<p>But whats the lore about the Twix??? I guess I’ll google it…</p>
<p>Zicam and motrin…lots of fluids and rest. You could also rub some dirt in it and walk it off.
Seriously, why assume you need a prescription ?
If you see a doctor, have them do a throat culture. If it is strep or an infection then take the antibiotic. Other wise it is the above advice.</p>
<p>Whatever you decide about seeing a doctor…Tylenol Sore Throat (it’s a thick adult strength liquid–pure tylenol applied directly to the throat) can make it bearable in the meantime.</p>
<p>hahahahahaha</p>
<p>maybe hes a junkie and needs his vicodin fix. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>if you want to see a doctor, either do a same day appt starting at midnite, or walk into triage and sit and wait. </p>
<p>but only do that if your sore throat persists past the usual 3 days, otherwise it probably is just a sign of a cold, and you should follow the above advice. the doctor is only needed if you need to figure out why it’s not going away.</p>
<p>try cepacol sore throat lozenges, i think they work a little better than halls, but they’re both lifesavers (and no i don’t mean go try a lifesaver… what’s up with the candy bars…)</p>
<p>what is triage and where?</p>
<p>well its been 3 days…</p>
<p>C’mon… the Twix?!?</p>
<p>P.S. Sorry you don’t fell well but I’m sure you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>triage = first floor of ashe.</p>
<p>you can wait anywhere from 5 minutes to like, an hour…</p>
<p>there’s nothing they can prescribe for you. they can test for strep, if you want, but by the time you get all that done your sore throat may be gone anyway!</p>
<p>it still hurts…</p>
<p>better eat more twix</p>
<p>do i have to go through registration and stuff or can i just walk in there and demand to be checked up</p>
<p>demanding prolly won’t get you too far =P</p>
<p>try making a same-day appt (because it’s now after midnite), that’s better than triage. if you can’t get an appt, walk in and talk to the person at the counter.</p>
