What is the quickest and easiest was to get rid of a nasty sore throat?!
Question: I've had a cold for the past week. I'm over the worst of it. I just can't seem to get over the sore throat and coughing part. I have tried warm whiskey and honey; hot tea and honey; salt water; and vinegar and honey. Anymore suggestions? Besides the doctor...broke!

Quickest and Easiest - other than a trip to the health food store:
Buy Grapefruit Seed Extract liquid - dilute 10 drops to 6 oz of water and gargle, swallow. It works almost immediately. You can repeat in 4-6 hours if you need to. We don't usually have to.
It tastes nasty, so you can have a glass of 100% juice like grapefruit, pineapple or other strongly flavored nearby to chase the gargle with.
We use it for sore throat and throat infections that would have to have antibiotics. We also use the same dilution for ear infections. It is our alternative to antibiotics since our son is allergic. IT worked so well for him the whole family uses it.
I find two things work a treat gargle tcp or gargle salt water
warm tea. cough drops. no talking. sleep.salt water more than once a day...
garlic granuels and milk, mix the granuels in the milk and gargle. Then eat some fresh parsely to take away the smell.
I'm just getting over a cold, and I had a really sore throat but my dad got me some anesthetic throat lozenges from CVS that really helped.
For the help for immediate pain use warm salt water to gargle. Use the numbing throat and mouth sprays with cough drops. Also take something internally like ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
You also have to treat the problem which might be post nasal drip. Take something like Sudafed PE multi-symptom Sever Cold.
Feel better!
Gargle with salt water about 8oz and about 3 tbsp of salt. It sucks but do it and then drink hot water with lemon (and a bit of sugar to make it easier).
