I am open to homeopathy probably more than conventional medicine as I am not over fond of the over use of antibiotics. I must mention that on the very rare occassions I DO go to the docs with a throat I am told "paracetemol and fluids"

I am finding that steam helps which is new.

It is also very interesting to see how other people cope especially when your voice is your job. It is a large part of my job as an archive and local history assistant I am front of house and always talking to our visitors. I have this image of me having to hold up cards...I think it is lucky I have a weird sense of humour
