What is the best cure for a sore throat??

Question

i have a cold too.

Answer 1

First it depends on how sore your throat is...

Add Honey & Lemon to just boiled water. Drink it every few hours.

Apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water & gargle with it spit it out then swallow a mouthful and then gargle again and so on until the glass is empty. Do this for up to 3-4 hours and it will be gone.

Then the classic garlic with warm salt water repeatedly.

Fresh pineapple and grapefruits have been known to cure it or the juices from the fruit.

Horehound tea is not the most popular but is very effective although the taste is something.

I hate olives so I have not tried this one. However they say if you take the the pit out and suck on the meat of an olive until you finally chew it then swallow it and do this as though it was a cough drop it is helpful.

Answer 2

I have used a mixture of lemon juice and honey with much success.

Answer 3

Gargle hot (but not too hot) very salty water... it will taste disgusting but it works amazingly!!!

Do it about every 8 hours or as needed.

Answer 4

warm liquids, stay away from cold ones they make it worse!

Answer 5

Lots of liquids - room temperature water, warm tea with lemon.  My mom used to slice lemons and boil them in a little water and give us the warm lemon juice.

If you have strep throat and can't swallow, go to a doctor.  He'll prescribe Amoxicillan (not sure of the spelling) which is a bacteria remover.

Answer 6

You can't go past honey and lemon mixed into a glass of warm water and sip it slowly over 30 minutes. It is an old cure that has been around for centuries. Best time to do it is just before you go to bed but you can do it any time or all day if you wish. It is totally natural and can't harm you just don't try and drink the lemon juice straight as it is too strong on sensitive tissue like the throat. If you find after a couple of days that there is no change or it is getting worse you may have to go to the doctor for antibiotics as there are some nasty bugs that need something stronger to get rid of them.
