Best Sore Throat Remedies

[RYDA]

One just started to form yesterday and I am very prone to them.

Let's hear some of your best ways of killing it off!

 

[eastie]

Bottle or three of perrier sparkling mineral water, i shit you not. This tip was passed on to me by some gendarmerie's in west africa. Whatever the french put in it, it has a good hit/miss rate. Probably just the low ph of the stuff?

 

[ucangetme1]

Gargle aspirin

You'll think I've played a horrible trick on you but this.

Lemon
Honey
Garlic
Ginger
Cayenne pepper

With hot water. Works every time and I've grown to quite like the taste.

No. That's what's causes the sore throat in the first place.

Perhaps Moorey has developed an immunity to sore throats?

0psi is right.

Stick with honey and either garlic/ginger/onion. If you put slices of onion in a bowl of honey a thin liquid will form on the top after a few hours, drink that and it soothes the throat.

As soon as you realise you are getting a sore throat gargle betadine and water, or listerine, whatever is going to kill bacteria. Cepacaine will kill bacteria and also numb whatever in you mouth it touches. Repeat gargle a few times a day. If it develops into an incessant, dry cough use a mix of honey, glycerin and lemon. Google for ratios.

Beatdine seems to do the trick nicely. Anyone used any of those sprays?

 

[Knuckles]

Single malt.

 

[David2406]

Gargle with some scotch, then slowly sip it and enjoy. Works a treat

 

[wespelarno]

tequila. Scotch is too smooth. Tequila has the savage, bloody minded aggression needed to drive bacteria away.

The very last thing you want to do is cure it! You want to sooth it, repeatedly, well into the night.

 

[C0na]

I get really bad sore throats quite often. I find that the best thing that works for me is: Difflam Forte Anti-Inflammatory Throat Spray.
Having a 1yr old = lack of sleep. Lack of sleep = constantly run down with sore throat. Sore throat + Difflam = Riding on the weekend.
That or down a bottle of voddy. Fixes everything. Except for riding on the weekend.
Job Done.

 

[0psi]

Shot glass.
Half Vodka.
Half Tabasco.

 

[Reece_STP2]

Another vote for the Difflam spray! I've been combining that with the Difflam lozengers, paracetamol & ibuprofen. Works a treat!

I guess they do say "you are what you eat!"..
lemsip MAX does the trick for me, dissolve in 50ml of boiling water, then fill up with cold- neck it in one very foul swoop... just don't have them before bed

Gargle with warm strong salt water. Do it as often as you like. Gargle aspirin (if you can take it, and aren't on other meds) and then hold the mix in the back of your throat as long as possible and swallow the lot very slowly (lay down on the bed so you can really hold it on the back of your throat)... Also another +1 for Difflam, their lozenges with anesthetic help at bedtime.
