Help! Throat hurts... How to treat it the natural way.. please help!?
I've had a sore throat since late Friday... I've not had a bad fever... but my throat hurts bad and sometimes it's hard for me to swallow and sleep... There are a few little white or yellow dots on the back of my throat... but here's the thing, I can't stand doctors and hospitals... all the ones around here are really bad an i dont wanna go and them give me something or something wrong and make it worse... does this sound like strep throat or something else? please tell me a natural way to get rid of this...

I had a small fever but went away... I just got the small dots today and I had the sore throat late Friday... I've been couging up clear mucus... Could this be some kind of allergies?
Answers:
Gargle with sage tea or warm salty water (or mix them together). Can use thyme and/or cinnamon as well. Just put the dried herbs in a pot, and boiling water, let it stand for 10 minutes, then while still warm, but not too hot, gargle. Can add honey (preferably unpasteurised).
Take some extra zinc and vitamin C to boost your immunity. (The herb andrographis is wonderful for boosting immunity, but harder to get than the kitchen herbs mentioned above)
