Can somebody please HELP! How in the hell do I get this white crap off my throat? I can't stand to feel the wigglies anymore. Ii is so freakin gross. I am not in pain. I have been doing the demerol every fourth hours and the tylenol in between that every four. So basically every 2 hours I take some kind of meds. But this white crap is horrible. It doesn't taste like anything but feeling it there is driving me crazy. I ate some toast this morning and it felt like it came off then but it is back. Once it's off should it come back. Is it the scabs that formed? When will it go away. Somebody knock me out now. It so weird.
But otherwise, feeling fine. Going to go to work tomorrow for a few hours. I am bored. I will be fine. Need to keep my mind off the white stuff. :eek:

First of all, you made the mistake of LOOKING! :) My ENT warned me under NO circumstances should you look at your throat. Nasty result of cauterizing (burning) the wound. But since it's too late -- drink drink drink lots of water -- not to cool, not too warm. Keep your throat moist. Chew on ice chips, popscicles. Eventually -- after a couple of weeks the scabs will come off. You don't want them to come off too soon, otherwise you could start bleeding.

I broke that rule not only did I look at the back of my throat but I also took pictures so I could remember what it looked like :jester: well I have heard people say on here before to try dry stuff like toast or crakers.
