My ex late father in law used to advocate putting aftershave on every wound, infection, bruise, graze etc, it hurt like hell but always seemed to work.6.6 for me this morning.
Does that mean we’re actually a cabal of secret devil worshippers or something what with the three 6.6’s this morning?
Feeling rough as heck with now a very, I think the official term is “productive” cough on top of my sore throat.
About to shower and venture out for the first time since Saturday but nowhere exciting. Boots. I’m going for cough medicine to make things easier.
Also my ear piercing from January has not healed properly and I suspect it might be a little infected so yesterday I contacted the GP surgery to report symptoms (ear lobe is tender, occasional pain in jaw, occasional bleeding etc) and ask for an appointment.
Does feel somewhat stupid asking for an appointment to sort out complications from something so totally self-inflicted but I guess that’s partly what the NHS is here to cover. (Not that the piercing was done by me but it was self inflicted insofar as I chose to have it done.)
Also supposed to be working later today but with my throat being so sore I can hardly speak and my job is all about speaking so maybe that’s not going to happen today.
Anyway, have a great morning folks!
I’m not splashing Brut on my ear that’s for sure! And I’m loathed to tempt all women by breaking out the Denim or Hi Karate!My ex late father in law used to advocate putting aftershave on every wound, infection, bruise, graze etc, it hurt like hell but always seemed to work.
Tea tree oil is a good antiseptic or surgical spirit, but it may need something more aggressive.
You forgot old spice the granddaddy of all aftershaves....I’m not splashing Brut on my ear that’s for sure! And I’m loathed to tempt all women by breaking out the Denim or Hi Karate!
Yes it was exactly that one.You forgot old spice the granddaddy of all aftershaves....
I’ve been getting cold sores since I was very young, my mother always told me to put perfume or aftershave on them. Absolutely stung to hell, don’t think it cured them but it stopped me licking my lips!My ex late father in law used to advocate putting aftershave on every wound, infection, bruise, graze etc, it hurt like hell but always seemed to work.

Go on “ splash it all over!” It worked for Henry Cooper, never saw him with a scabby lug! Just a cauliflower one!I’m not splashing Brut on my ear that’s for sure! And I’m loathed to tempt all women by breaking out the Denim or Hi Karate!
Good to see you back Lisa, but sorry to hear you have the lurgy. Hope it passes quickly and you fully recover.Morning…nearly.
I had a dream about the forum (very odd) last night, so thought maybe it was a little nudge to come back, after a while away, and say hello again.
9.2 for me this morning after a 2.5 correction in the night. I have Covid at the moment so sugar levels are putting up a bit of a fight…quite the battle but I’m determined.
Anyway…hello again.
How about some antihistamines or a cream. A pharmacist should be able to recommend something. Hope you're feeling a bit better now @Kaylztips on a good OTC treatment for heat/sweat rash?
|He takes antihistamines daily anyway and sadly not finished work in time to get to a chemist to see a pharmacist hence why I was hoping someone would have a good suggestion lol, they were bright red and itchy when he came in last night and he's just been complaining that his clothes are sticking to him again so no doubt they will be worse by the time he gets in tonight, thanks the headache has shifted so feeling tip top 🙂 xxHow about some antihistamines or a cream.

May be a change of antihistamine might be needed. This time last year I had to change both my antihistamine and nasal spray I had been on for about 20 years, as my allergic rhinitis had got much worse.|He takes antihistamines daily anyway and sadly not finished work in time to get to a chemist to see a pharmacist hence why I was hoping someone would have a good suggestion lol, they were bright red and itchy when he came in last night and he's just been complaining that his clothes are sticking to him again so no doubt they will be worse by the time he gets in tonight, thanks the headache has shifted so feeling tip top 🙂 xx
They aren't prescribed, just an OTC job, the Dr gave him a 1 week supply (I think) of a stronger antihistamine after his last reaction to whatever a couple of months ago but that was it, his hours really don't suit to contact anyone and he has no time to take off so it's a tricky situation xxMay be a change of antihistamine might be needed.
