Accepted Answer

Time and good diet: Let your throat heal, if it does not get better in three weeks, see a doctor.

Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.

Question 2

i have a sore throat after drinking straight up shots of whiskey and rum, is this normal? and how long will it last approximately?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol pharyngitis?: As a general rule, alcohol alone should not be producing a sore throat. Although anything is possible, suspect you may have acquired a viral infection.  Without seeing you and assessing this it is impossible to say how long it will last.

Question 3

what might cause neck & shoulder pain in both shoulders after small amounts of whiskey or sugar (3 reeses cups & a bowl of sugary cereal in a day)?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Avoid alcohol entirely, it is a poison. Regular aerobic exercise that raises core body temperature is likely to help by improving the strength and flexibility of muscles. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 4

help please! could crocin be taken after whiskey?

Accepted Answer

Not advisable: Crocin is a brand name for tylenol (acetaminophen) and the toxicity of this drug, even in low doses, is increased by drinking, especially drinking in large amounts.  The combination of regular drinking and regular Acetaminophen is potentially hazardous to the liver, and should be avoided. If we are talking one drink and one tylenol every so often, it is probably not a problem.
