What can i do about my sore throat?!


Question:

What can i do about my sore throat?

Does anyone know of any home remedies for getting rid of a sore throat? I could use any help, because it really hurts to swallow so i can't eat, and i have medication but that doesnt always help the pain. I'm open to any suggestions, thanks!


Answers:

add 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp lemon juice to 1 cup warm water, sip gently. Any cough drops with zinc and vitamin c in them will take down the inflammation, ease the discomfort and keep your throat moist.
If you have Listerine, it is the best for killing the bacteria and got it's fame in early 1900's as a medicine for tonsillitis.
Also, Vick's vapor rub keep the membranes moist when you breath it, thus relieving the stress and strain on the throat and helps keep the mucus expelled and reduces inflammation. Although people commonly only use it for colds, it does help as a decongestant. Just make sure to wash it off in the morning before going out because it will open you up to much since it is also absorbed through the skin.
