I have a sore throat... help...

Question

I don't have any sore throat meds right now and my throat is hurting so bad. Do you know any home remedies to cure or soothe my throat?

Answer 1

I take half a cup of hot water and a generous amount of honey and lemon.  it feels so great going down.  

Answer 2

Gargle with warm salt water!!

Answer 3

take regular size shot glass, fill half full of vinegar, half honey, and 1/2 teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Warm it all up and swallow in one drink. in minutes your sore throat will be better.

Gargle with cayenne pepper and water mixture: 1/2 - 2 tsp. cayenne per glass of water, as strong as you can stand. Repeat as necessary, multiple times a day. Numbs and releives really bad sore throats.

This is an old Russian Remedy. Heat milk with one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of honey. Then drink it while it is still very hot. This will coat your throat making it feel better, and the heat will make swelling go down. this is not only effective but also very tastey.

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar into 1 cup of warm water. Gargle then swallow each mouthfull till gone. Repeat if necessary. I promise this works. got it from the book 'Vermont Folk Medicine'

Hope some of these work for you

Answer 4

Warm salt water gargle is good but I would also recommend taking Echinacea 2-3x/day until symptoms are gone.  If symptoms worsen see you physician.

Answer 5

Warm salt water, add 1/2 tsp salt to about 1/2 glass warm water. Gargle and spit out, don't swallow.  I have done this for years and it is the  most effective non-pharmaceutical treatment for sore throats.

If you start gargling whenyou get the first indication of a sore throat,  it shouldn't go much further. You want to gargle at least 4 x d.

This amy not taste the best, but IMHO is the best  treatment for sore throats.  I havew used this same treatment for my campers, daily, where I am a camp nurse.
