My Health 
My throat has been sore for a week now. Very difficult to swallow. Recently I have been coughing up mucus type stuff. Then this morning I woke up and my left eye is swollen. Can someone give me an idea of what this is and if there are any natural remedies or herbs I can take to help it go away. I have taken Vitamin C, garlic, and zinc but no luck so far. Thanks

for your throat , boil 2 or 3 peeled cloves of garlic in 3 or 4 cups of water to make garlic tea (it tastes better than what it sounds). and add a little sugar or sweetener to it, whichever u prefer.
take that 2 to 3 times a day. (this is for the sore throat)
and also, try eating a tiny bit of ginger, it helps your throat too, but be careful so you dont choke in it…
then take some MUCINEX for the mucus, it really helps.
for the swollen eye i dont know.
overall i think you should go and have that checked out at a hospital
u have to see a doctor
I agree with sooh, you should at least go to a Dr if you don;t want to go to the hospital, but you need to get it checked out.
The Swine flu is always developing and needs to be monitored on a daily basis. Here is a reference to the best article and update resource I have found.
if your left eye is swollen, the infection may have spread to it.
it is either viral or bacterial. you need to see a dr to make sure it is not bacterial, if it is, they will give you antibiotics.
when it comes to your sight, take good care.
