Need IDEAS!!

[LOWCARBINCLEVELANDOH]

Put your thinking caps on....

I have a sinus infection that is affecting my singing voice. I have to admit in the past week I have been so desperate at the theatre that I have accepted Halls from people. I know they have demon carbs in them.

I know that Lemons are helpful but at 2 carb per tablespoon for Juice I have to watch carefully.

I am on antibiotics for 10 days, but as far as throat soothers, does anyone have any additional ideas? My show runs for 2 more weekends.

Ive always been told to take those cinnamon hot balls for a sore throat (never tried it) but maybe a sugar free cinnamon candy would do the trick to sooth for a bit? Im all for hot lemon tea when i get a sore throat or cold. Lemon soother tea is my favorite.

Do you have antiseptic throat spray in the U.S.? We have something called Chloraseptic. You spray it towards the back of your throat and it sort of numbs it so you don't feel the pain. I don't know how that would affect your singing voice though. What about gargling with salt water? That's supposed to be a cure for lots of things.

They make sore throat lozenges for diabetics (sugar-free)! Ask your pharmacist about them.

Halls has a sugar free throat lozenge. I think they are cherry flavour. They are available in Canada, so you should be able to find them in the U.S. Good luck.
