What are some effective remedies to CURE and relieve a sore throat?

Question

Since i was little i've had problems with my throat. I get it at least 3 times a year. What could the cause of it be? Im kinda tired of taking medicine so if you could provide some natural remedies that'd be great. Will choose best answer

Answer 1

This is what I do:

1. 3/4 cup water, 2-3 tablespoons APPLE cider vinegar, capful of lemon juice, 2-3 tablespoons honey (to taste). Warm the mixture up in the microwave, I use 1 minute. This is my hot toddy that I use for my entire family.

2. Suck on a COLD EEZE as directed on the package. This is zinc, this helps the relieve symptoms of a cold and makes it run through faster. I think it builds up your immune system or something

3. If the hot toddy doesn't help. Gargle in warm salt water.

4. If the hot toddy or warm salt water doesn't work, get some Chloroseptic throat spray and spray according to directions in your throat.

5. You can also take Advil or Tylenol to help with any pain as well.

6. For immediate and quick relief that will only last maybe 15 minutes. Drink a teaspoonfull of lemon juice.

The above helps greatly with me and my family. I hope it helps you.

Answer 3

Try hot water and lemon juice, you can gargle with warm salty water . Horehound candy and peppermint is good .

Answer 4

to relieve it use some warm water and a teaspoon of table salt. Stir until dissolved and then gargle a couple times using up the water/salt solution.

Salt is a natural healer/cleanser.

The sore throats may be from nasal drip. 3 a year is quite a bit. Allergies maybe.

For sinuses, just to be sure they are clean and healthy, look into netti pots. All that is is a little tea pot looking device that you again put warm water and salt in and you pour it in one nostril and let it come out the other. Use "sea salt" for this though, not table salt....I'll let you look it up instead of me rambling on.

Good luck.
