I usually light a cigar and smoke it out but ive had this for a few days now and it isnt showing any sign of stopping, another thing i usually try is scotch, honey and lemon but that doesnt seem to have worked either.
What do you folks usually do to get rid of a sore throat when you get one?
Regards,
Lee
Cigars... scotch... well you're just all about the holistic cures, aren't ya?
:P
Apparantly Cayenne pepper... but who wants to gargle that? seriously

Gargle saltwater and lemon. Sea salt works better (according to Rachel Ray) but the normal kind always worked fine for me and my mom, a registered nurse, swears by it.
Hot things like cayenne should work as well.
*****another important thing to remember is to stay away from any phlem-producing foods like sugary things or milk products They irritate the throat as well as encourage bacteria growth.
Lee, keep an eye on that. I came down with a sore throat early last month and within a few days I was in the emergency room with swollen glands, a high fever and chills. It was horrible. I was out of work for a full week and was sick for over a month. Something's going around and it's bad.
I have a friend that swears by giving a deep throat blowjob to his partner and having him cum in his mouth.
I dunno if it works, but thought it was worth noting :cheerleader:
Sounds like that old joke... "does it help?" "no, but you won't be worrying about your sore throat afterwards". LOL!Quote:

Lee, you do want to be careful, a sore throat that doesn't go away in a couple of days is a common symptom of strep throat, and that can be pretty serious - it can progress to a heart infection if it's not treated effectively.
If your throat is a bright red inflamed color, you can try homeopathic belladonna, which any good health food store should have. PM me if you want more info, I know a bit about homeopathy and have been treated mostly homeopathically (my doc is a homeopathic MD) for about 30 years.
has gargling anything ever actually helped anyone? I've never felt that working.
Aswell as the Salt gargle (BEST) also get yourself some hydrogen peroxide and rinse your mouth with it - The one in the brown bottle in Savon can be used neat (undiluted). It will clear and kill any other nasty stuff in and around your teeth that may be causing the infection.
PS the natural bubbling effect is natural. DO NOT SWALLOW. just rinse and gargle again with salty water afterwards.
Hope you are feeling better.

Well I can tell you it works. Sucking a big cock always helps if I have a sore throat.Quote:

i'd be careful with cayenne. i used to use cayenne pepper to bring my voice back when i needed to sing at a show and my voice wasn't strong. and guess what - as a result, i now have scar tissue on my vocal chords. what worked pretty well for me was throat disks, and slippery elm lozenges aren't bad, either.
your sore throat could be caused by overuse, irritation or infection. infection should be dealt with by a doctor if it doesn't go away.
Thanks for all the suggestions :thumbsup:
I woke up today and im feeling 100% better than i have been the past couple of days with the exception of a little mucus still at the back of my throat but i think that will clear up on its own over the course of the next day.
Im going to have to try the blowjob remedy next time im ill and see if it works for things other than just sore throats too LOL

Does gargling ever RELIEVE the pain? I've seen no evidence of that. Maybe it does help in the long run, but I'm of the instant gratification generation
Okay a quick update...
Im actually better today however, Gary and 3 of our friends cant say that, they all sound like i did last week and are coughing and spluttering like crazy LOL
Whatever i had, is gone and has found 4 new victims i just hope they get better quicker than i did :)

Lee
You should have wrapped it!
Don't you hate the medicinal spray that numbs your throat (and your tongue) from the pain?
Hmm maybe it's just me
I too heard this works.... I too have a sore throat and my ear hurts went to the doc. yesturday to get a throat culture but, so far no strep it just plain old sucks :crybaby:Quote:
