Question: What kind of home remedies are there for a sore throat!?
I've had this thing for about 5 days!. It started like any sore throat, then got painful!. I looked and I had at least one white spot on my tonsils, which were also swollen!. My ears kinda hurt and my lymph nodes were swollen!. I've thrown a few over-the-counter acetaminophen pills and allergy medicine at it, also liquid Zicam!. The only thing that's really made a difference was water and cough drops for some relief!. The swelling is still up, but the pain is pretty much gone!. It just feels really tight, like cotton balls are shoved down my throat!. I have no health insurance right now (between jobs) and money is on a emergency only kinda basis!. I just want this over with, it feels irritating and rotten!. If anyone knows of some cheap solution I'm all years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to go and see a doctor!. You could have strep throat, which left untreated can really damage your organs or even kill you!. Go to the emergency room if you have no insurance, I had to do that when I came down with strep throat!. Do not leave your health up to people on Yahoo answers, go to the emergency room or go to a doc in the box like Patient First!. You'll have to pay for it sooner or later but at least you'll be alive and have your organs intact!. I'm sure your loved ones would prefer that as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The cheapest answer is go to a health food store (Whole Foods, for example) and buy Echinacea and Goldenseal tea and drink away!. It might taste terrible but it will help!. If they don't have that just buy Echinacea tea!. That they will have!. If you have the money buy the capsules as well!.!. Echinacea will reduce the inflamation and Goldenseal will take care of the remains of the infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take a wet wash cloth (tepid temp) wrap it around your neck, cover it with plastic wrap, and then wrap your neck with a scarf or bandage!. Don't make it too tight though! Keep it on for a few hours or overnight if you are comfortable enough!.
Garlic is an excellent resource!. Make yourself a tomato based vege soup with plenty of garlic and cayenne pepper!. My Dad and I used to eat slices of toast with avocado and tomato and slices of raw garlic and sprinkled with cayenne!. No one wanted to come near us but we got better very quickly!.
Take Vitamin C and Echinacea or at least eat plenty of citrus fruit!. Activated charcoal will kill any viruses or bacteria that are bothering you too!.
I hope this helps!. Asking at your local health food store will probably get you some good advice as well!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
