Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 from 'Habif: Clinical Dermatology, 3rd ed., Copyright © 1996 Mosby-Year Book, Inc.' Clinical presentation. Lesions vary in size from the 2 to 4 mm edematous papules of cholinergic urticaria to giant hives, a single lesion of which may cover an extremity. They may be round or oval; when confluent, they become polycyclic. A portion of the border either may not form or may be reabsorbed, giving the appearance of incomplete rings. Hives may be uniformly red or white, or the edematous border may be red and the remainder of the surface white. This variation in color is usually present in superficial hives. Thicker plaques have a uniform color. Hives may be surrounded by a clear or red halo. Thicker plaques that result from massive transudation of fluid into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue are referred to as angioedema. These thick, firm plaques, like typical hives, may occur on any skin surface, but typically involve the lips, larynx (causing hoarseness or a sore throat), and mucosa of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (causing abdominal pain). Bullae or purpura may appear in areas of intense swelling. Purpura and scaling may result as the lesions of urticarial vasculitis clear. Hives usually have a haphazard distribution, but those elicited by physical stimuli have characteristic features and distribution. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hello again,So sorry you're not feeling well. I don't know of any legal lozenges.Have you tried gargling with salt water? Apple cider vinegar (diluted in water)? Warm tea (just to sooth, it's not going to help it go away, of course)?Also, I swear by Zicam swabs. They work very well to make colds less severe and to go away much, much faster. You're supposed to start them as soon as you start feeling bad. And get the ones you put up your nose, not the lozenge things. I'm sure they're illegal and they taste like poo.Hope you feel better soon.Kim H.husband, , CD 1999, SCD 2002 I seem to be coming down with something – I have a very sore throat. Are there any legal lozenges/ vitamin C type stuff to take? I’ve been taking the legal multi-vitamins. . but I want to take something for this throat. Help?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sylvia, There are a ton of different sore throat folk remedies on the web. I like hot lemonade with ginger root. Mix equal parts lemon juice and honey for a concentrate. Mix this concentrate with about 3 parts hot water. Add a piece of ginger root.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I ditto whoever said apple cider vinegar--Braggs, to be specific! Dilute a tablespoon in water (hot or cold) and sweeten with honey if you wish. Take twice a day if you wish. I also swear by Zicam! Use both the Zicam and the ACV until the sore throat and/or cold is completely gone--as long as it takes! Hope you feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I take lemon juice in hot water with honey and local rum. The latter is not essential! Wrap a towel soaked in rum around your throat to raise the temperature and kill off the bugs. Always wear a warm scarf.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 You can get Zicam swabs at any pharmacy, WalMart and probably most grocery stores. I woke up with a sore throat this morning.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 What gives me some relief is to cut a lemon in half and sprinkle with some salt and just lick it. If you are worried about salt intake this may not be for you though, because you end up getting quite a bit of salt. I've also heard that apple cider vinegar works wonders is gargled straight and I've also heard it helps to swallow it. If you want to try this, I believe that you want to avoid the ACV that still has the mother because I seem to remember someone saying on here that it is not SCD legal.
