What's good for a sore throat?

[Koenigsegg]

I can talk finely, everything else about me is normal..except when I swallow it feels like swords going down my throat. It's killing me here =/

I've tried gargling with listerine, which normally helps it, but this time no such luck..

Cyanide

 

[Azraele]

Gargle with warm salt water.

 

[Kadarin]

I would suggest some sore throat medicine...

 

[Crusty]

Spit, don't swallow.

Sperm. It's smoooooth.

(Honey, let it slowly drip down your throat. )

that might be debatable

i don't know what to do about your throat, take a nap?

It's actually been hurting since Saturday morning. Friday night I went to a bar, had a few drinks..nothing crazy, went to sleep pain free..but once I woke up it was painful..

 

[habib89]

drink boiling hot water.. well not boiling hot.. but you knwo what i mean.. maybe add some honey or lemon...

also, take a shot of tussin.. works for me

 

[astralusion]

agree with the first...warm salt water, just gargle it...if you're actually sick airborne is supposed to be decent

Get This

The burn on your tongue will linger for a while, but it's not unpleasant. Not recommended for children!

It numbs your throat.

Yo can also use to make hot-shots if you mix it with vodka and let it soak for some days.

Hot Totty.

Whiskey + Honey + lemon + hot water

 

[manohartvs]

Dayquil during day
nyquil to get u to sleep if u want to take it during day...lol..

honey+turmeric powder(if u know what it is) works excellent.

ALTOID to enjoy a nice minty flavor

 

[konakona]

lots of water, vitamin C and a good sleep

 

[Kitkat13]

Check for white spots in back of throat.. if it really huts that bad it could be Strep.

eating fudgecicles is always a good idea, sore throat or not

Cepacol cough drops are the best. They are the only ones which really work and numb your whole throat. I use them when I get cancor sores and I can't feel any problem. Hope it helps you.

1) A sore throat implies infection meaning bacteria got in. Try rinsing your mouth with listerine first. Gargle I mean + rinse. I even swallow a drop or two just to get it down there. You feel instantly better because listerine kills fast.
2) Vitamin C. Take a 250mb tablet at least.
3) If it's REALLY bad, you should get it checked by the doctor for strep. I hate the test though.
4) If you have antibiotics.... My doctor gave me 10 days worth of Cipro (generic antibiotic) for a trip to China just in case I ate something bad. I just found that in my cabinet and took like 2 days worth. It slaughters the infection instantly. BTW, this is the drug they prescribed to fight anthrax =).
5) Sprays work to numb your throat. Also Tylenol Sore Throat if its bad. I had a really bad case once for like 5 days and I went to this and it just numbed me out while my body fought the infection.

True, but I try not to eat them that often if I don't have a sore throat. It's just a good excuse to eat a lot of them!
