What is YOUR cure for a sore throat?

[Kain6th]

I don't have one, but just for the heck of it I'm going to ask this.

So what is your cure? what type of medicine? any home remedies?

Getting plenty of rest and sleep helps to fight body infection. By drinking plenty of water the throat is lubricated, moist, eases swallowing and prevents dehydration. Eat foods such as soups, cooked cereals, mashed potatoes, soft fruits, yogurt and soft-cooked eggs as they are easy on a sore throat. Cold foods such as frozen yoghurts, fruit popsicles are also soothing. It is ideal to avoid spicy and acidic foods. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day helps to relieve throat pain. Warm soaks will soothe throat pain as well, and reduce inflammation to glands. Garlic is also effective for speedy recovery and removal of bacteria with its natural antibiotic properties. And last but not least, I've found that a spoonfull of honey with cinnamon is a natural antibiotic. Make it twice a day and hopefully you will feel much better. (-:

salt in warm water - gargle and spit out. Do this several times. However, tend to find this doesn't work if it's cold/flu related. In which case, just have to stick it out - best thing is to drink plenty of warm/hot water. I find ginger slices with honey topped up with hot water also helps to soothe the throat. Or just suck on a slice of ginger, that helps to ease the pain a bit.

As for a cure for a cold - this will sound weird - boil coke with a few slices of ginger and few slices of lemon, and drink this warm.

As soon as I feel it coming on I eat half a raw lemon. It's super sour but it has magical abilities to sterilize the throat. It also has some amazing vitamins.

[Kain6th]

So what does the doctor do for you? or does he prescribe any type of medicine for you?

[Opinion Owner]

Just the simple things, small cold pills maybe a shot depending on the time of year.

Cinnamon, honey and black pepper.

Also eating chewable vitamins c's really works for me!

[martyfellow]

Hot whisky with honey. If that doesn't work, I need a doctor!

You'll think I'm crazy but Apple cider vinegar! Works amazingly. Just eat a mint before you go kissing anyone ;)

smoke a personal blunt- you'll cough a lot when smoking it, but you'll feel much better afterwards

[zagor]

Hot tea, and when you first feel it coming on, zinc lozenges with Vitamin C.

[rachiee]

Cold drinks and whatever throat lozenges I have.
