tj: Mine is apparently viral, so antibiotics are useless. In fact, they tell me there is no treatment at all, except to avoid salt and spices (I am vegetarian and eat Chipotle 4-5 times a week, plus Indian food on weekends!) and get a lot of rest. My wife has been away this weekend (I insisted that she go to a retreat she'd been looking forward to) so the "rest" part has been easy. But I need to get back to work before they wreck the place and, most importantly, I've been waiting for commuting weather so long that I can't stand to lose a minute of it.
