sore throat remedy's

[kapeh12]

I typically do the hot tea with honey trick.  Sometimes if it's bad, I'll suck down straight honey.  If really, really bad, I'll try gargling very strong salt water.

I have always heard that a good remedy for a sore throat is the gargle with warm salt water several times a day.

gargle warm salt water..it eases the pain for a little while

Vitamin C mega dose. I take honey and lemon for my throat. It can be in tea or all by itself warmed up.

Gargling with warm salt water is soothing and good for a sore throat. So is ginger.

Take some type of pain reliever and a cough drop before going to bed. Sleep slightly inclined if you're having trouble breathing.

Plenty of rest and fluids. Keep your humidifier going.  Don't stress. Neti pots are good for stuffy noses and sore throats. Try to keep breathing through your nose, is possible. Your nose is a natural filter.

Drink lots of water and give it about a week. You don't really need over the counter drugs for colds and sore throats.

P.S. Don't yell at anyone while your throat is sore. Makes it worse! That goes for sports, etc.

Thanks for this post. We all need to be reminded of good home remedies this time of year.

I drank hot kalamansi juice with honey.
Kalamansi is like lemon but more sour and they're smaller.
You can find them in filipino stores, or some filipino neighbors might have them.

I drank it everyday for three days and now I'm just getting rid of the phlem.

... I usually take a spoon full of  honey with a hint of lemon juice clears it right up!
Also sherbert is good for sore throats
some other conforts when you have a sore throat are  cambells soup a 7up
and a nice hot shower with lots of steam!
Don't forget the halls from time to time they really do work! ...

Sounds good for me!

Cepacol works very well.  If you have strep, your doctor may need to prescribe an antibiotic.  Strep throat is terrible.  I hope you feel better.

The honey with lemon juice sounds good.  That wouldn't be a bad idea every so often even if we aren't sick just because it is good for you. By the same thinking I would stay away from the sherbert.

I usually use lozenges, a cold remedy of Tea with money and vaporizer.  That is what my Mom used when we were children.  Although I don't use it because it taste gross was Castor oil.
