I got sick about two weeks ago after eating i think seven mentos in one time...
i was waiting for the bus at night after work and had nothing to do...
it's also because i've been eating really poorly recently (i'm a raw foodist who has gone off the wagon too many times and who's dreaming of getting back on it permanately...)

first i got a sour throat and then later in the day i felt very weak
and then even though i was feeling this way i had to go out of town (15 hour ride) and during the ride i felt just awful... nauseous and i was burning red...
i didn't eat anything at this point of course... just drank water with lemon and honey.... i brought it from home

when i got there, because i needed to participate in a program i couldn't fast.. so i ate things i would never eat while being sick so that i could have a little more energy and not have such bad breath as i had while fasting... i stayed there for a few days and when i returned i went to work i couldn't fast again for the same reason... now after a week and a half of being sick i got fired (really sad about that but that's besides the point) .... i was now able to fast for the last 3 days, took senna tea (oh my god, i took 1 table spoon per cup of water.. that was so painful!!!), took hot baths, rested, but it's not helping!! i don't have that much mucous anymore, but i have a dry cough and it feels like i have something stuck in my thoat but i really don't..... ... what do i do? i have an interview scheduled for monday... i HAVE to get better.

help me! i'll do anything...

p.s. i didn't take any medications whatsoever sinc i was 3 years old and i always managed to get better really quickly.. actually i'm barely EVER sick... i guess i really damaged my body this time... i ate so much junk.... too much mixing... too much late eating... i never used to be like this...

Is the cough specifically in your throat or also coming from your chest?

it's hard to say... it's very deep in my throat
i start coughing because my airway gets blocked and i can't breath... i feel like if i don't cough i will choke...

Sounds like you may need to see a doc. You *could* have bronchitis if the cough is dry. You may need meds to get over this one. If you can get in tomorrow, you'll have 2 days to have the meds start working before your interview. Are you running fever?

Please don't cave into taking meds. ... your body is trying to cure itself... just keep drinking lots of water, only raw foods, fresh juices and lots of rest, walks outside every day... you will get better. The body is self-healing, and it might take some time but you will heal, if you follow the above advice.

Sending you get well soon vibes!
