Sore throat remedies

Question

ever since i felt the slightest pain, I dosed up on ginger tea, green tea and camomile.

I put lemon into each cup of tea that i had.

Answer 3

Gargling with hot salty water can ease the pain.

But since you say you have the flu now, I'm wondering if you actually have strep throat?  It causes severe throat pain, fever, and can cause headaches, body aches, fatigue, and even nausea and vomiting as well as congestion and upper respiratory symptoms.  You should probably go to a doctor to get it ruled out since it needs to be treated with antibiotics.

Answer 4

Stay home.  Why do you want to spred that disease to other people one of which can pass it to someone who could die from complications.  You have four or five days left to get over.  I use 1 tbs honey and 1tbs lemon juice in a cup of warm water to soothe the scratchy feeling.  Again in case you misunderstood STAY HOME.
