Cooling down the throat with cold gel

I am trying some cold pain relieving gel on my throat because it has been kind of sore on the outside from too much singing. I hope that a few days off from singing and this cold gel get my throat back to normal again soon. Okay, I just put a bunch of cold gel on my shoulders, knees, and lower back too to try and stop the pain. Heck, I need to just soak in a bathtub of the stuff and cool down my whole body as it seems like everything is in pain this morning. Cooling down last night with a swim in the sea after playing, like the other HVAC techs did, would have been a great idea because it would have helped a lot with the pain. But it started to rain last night and I took cover under a big cypress tree instead of going into the cold sea. So now, cooling down the joints with the cold gel will be my task for the day, along with cleaning my HEPA filter at some point. I am just trying to get a big chunk of my workday out of the way before I head out and go into the cold sea. But the sea has been heating up the past few months and is not working so well anymore at cooling down my joints like it used to do back in February of this year. I will still go in it though because the salt water is good for soothing aching muscles and joints like mine.
