Answers:

You can gargle with salt water which will help with the healing process, but there is no cure. Drink warm tea with your honey and lemon and that, as you mentioned, is kind of soothing. What I like to use is Chloraseptic spray. It kind of numbs your pain. You can also take some Tylenol or comparaple and use lozenges. Get some rest and try not to talk.
Hope you feel better soon!



I don't think you can really "cure" it. It will go away on its own. Try some Halls cough drops, they should help for the time being. Take 2 every 2 hours at time same time. That should do the trick. if the sore throat continues for a long period of time, check with your doctor. if you run a fever, feel nausea coming upon you, you could have strep. And you'd wanna get that checked and get a prescription.

experience.



no because it's a virus, which there is no cure for. Take a throat lozenge and drink some tea. Talk as little as possible and eat soft foods. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and take vitamin C. It will go away fast enough. If it doesn't go away in a day or two, see a doctor because it could be strep, or something worse.



Hmm. Normally I drink warm water and that seems to help. Also maybe try HALLs vitamin C. You can't actually "cure" it. I don't think its a disease either. I get sore throats from snoring or having my mouth open when I sleep.

Personal Experience



Gargle with some salt water.



This happened to me last night, I almost didn't go out with my friends as a result. One of my friends made me some hot coke( yes the soda pop) with lemon. She assured me it doesn't taste bad, and its not that bad just odd. We all proceeded to get dinner, I still had a sore throat.

After dinner we went to our friends apartment and my friend suggested a screwdriver, now this wasn't the first time I heard of this. I had 2 friends who lived together, both got sore throats the same day, one went the vodka and orange juice route, the other with only the latter. Turns out the first one(vodka+oj) recuperated almost instantly while the other remained sick for the rest of the week.

So I went with it, a mix of about 2/5 vodka the rest orange juice, although those are not the exact proportions as when I drank about 1/4 of it I proceeded to add more vodka till the cup was relatively full again. Thats all I sipped on for the night, no other beverages till well, also having some tea before bed with honey. I stayed relatively sober the night, having a slight "buzz" at some point.

I just woke up and decided to look up other peoples experiences with this, thus stumbling across the same dilemma I was in yesterday.Taking note of the key word, "was", I will say that this morning I feel great! Now I cannot guarantee that the screw driver was the "miracle remedy" but having drank only tea and honey before I can tell you it wasn't that. I also drank very low quantities of the coke and lemon, because well, I personally did not like the taste, it wasn't bad just odd.

There you have it, at least my experience with it, my throat feels great I have a stuffy nose, at most but, I still feel like a million bucks :)
