Treating sore throat (NBR)

chrisncassie

I have a terrible sore throat. ...I've been drinking water like crazy, and now have moved on to warm tea with honey. ....any other ideas?

I don't know if I'm getting a cold or if my thyroid has gone into hyperdrive. ....obviously if its my thyroid I don't think anything will help

Doing a sinus wash makes mine feel better. Also take lozenges (sp?) and gargle with hot/warm salty water.

Advil - every time I get a virus with a bad sore throat this is what the dr tells me and it works well!

I was going to say what PP said - gargle with warm salt water.

If the gargling with warm salt water isn't helping, my Dad and DH swear by Hot Toddy's!  It's a "mixture of whisky, boiling water or warm milk, and sugar or honey".  Hope you feel better!

I'm partial to popsicles when I have a sore throat.  Sometimes tea with honey and a splash of brandy/whiskey/whatever I have is good too.

Hope it feels better soon!
