I have a sore throat, best medicine/remedie to relieve the pain?

Question

I have a sore throat, the weird thing is i don't even feel sick, i get headaches often but other then that, i feel fine. i guess i don't think i need a med that treats a common cold/flu...

Answer 4

Gargling with warm salt water is the BEST.  Do it every few hours.  You may have post-nasal drip, which is irritating your throat.  Steam your face (add lavender and tea tree oil if you have it, a dab of Vicks) to get the mucous running and out of your body.
