I prefer Strepsils - anaesthetic and antibacterial- thanks Stanley. Not that they worked that well , when my throat was on

In the days before antibiotics salt or borax were the preferred treatments and in really bad cases, very dilute Milton disinfectant.

A sore throat is a symptom of an infection ie inflammation. The best remedy is something that soothes. Personally strepsils make me feel sick, as would a salt water gargle. I just drink lots of water , or a home made honey lemon drink....or simply suck a nice sweet my favourite being blackcurrant and liquorice sweets. A pain killer also helps to relieve the pain

Even tho my sore throat is now gone , and I

it doesn’t come back, I’m still having the Strepsils because they sooth and calm the throat, after coughing fits.

Glad you're better Cathy, no matter what you are taking for comfort....

Not all better and I’m still waiting for my ‘at-home’ Covid test.
After a couple of problems, it won’t be long now.

Fingers crossed for you Love....

I've posted this in the Today I Shall be Mainly topic, but just in case it gets missed I'll put it here too.

I received this email from Graham overnight.

Wendy,
I'm still alive but in Nanning Army Hospital on palliative care again. I can't message the site so please can you pass on and say goodbye to everyone. thanks.
Keep up the good work, peace and harmony to all.
Graham

Have received my Covid-19 test results- Negative

. Still in isolation with viral tonsillitis until the 27th. Will check with my doctor then to see if I’m allowed OUT.

I just feel like I have a cold now, but still coughing.

Good news on the Covid, tonsillitis isn't fun though. Hope you feel better soon.

Get better soon Cathy....

Post by **PanBiker** » 26 Dec 2021, 14:38

Get well soon Cathy as a prior regular tonsillitis sufferer when I worked in school you have my sympathy.

Post by **Stanley** » 27 Dec 2021, 03:47

In the days when I was born they ripped them out as routine when you were only weeks old. Lots of controversy about it in later years but I have to say that I have never had Tonsillitis and only very occasionally a sore throat.

Cathy · Post by **Cathy** » 27 Dec 2021, 04:08

I used to get tonsillitis when I was a kid and they used to give medicine that was like a pink milkshake. It was really good stuff.
Unfortunately for me it was the same time that they decided not to remove tonsils anymore.

Morning Cathy....

Yes, I remember when the news came out and there was a lot of argument. Who knows which side was right?

Cathy · Post by **Cathy** » 04 Jan 2022, 10:31

Has anyone heard how Graham is doing?

Post by **Wendyf** » 04 Jan 2022, 10:41

I haven't heard anything since his farewell email Cathy. I doubt if we will hear any news now.

Cathy · Post by **Cathy** » 04 Jan 2022, 10:48

Yes that’s what we are thinking

.
Just wondered if maybe Graham’s wife or family might have informed anyone.
I guess the chances are that they don’t know about OG.

Post by **Stanley** » 04 Jan 2022, 10:49

I mailed him on January 1st to let him know we hadn't forgotten him but there has been no reply.
I suspect Wendy is right.

Post by **PanBiker** » 04 Jan 2022, 10:49

Unfortunately I think Wendy is right. I don't think Graham's wife is very fluent in English and probably has no dealings with OneGuy to avail us of any information.

I've tried sending this.... 格雷厄姆怎么样 (How is Graham)

Human case of bird flu detected in the UK
BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59896821
I dont know the best way to keep birds, I suspect have twice as much space as you think you need and regulary clean one half of the space entirely, move birds, clean the dirty side, might be a bit difficult on the external daytime space. I think if visting another bird keeper I would wear a different change of clothing and boots to those worn in ones own holding.
