Question:
What is the cure for a sore throat and a cold?
i need this answer fast my throat hurts like crazy!!
Answers: Hot lemonade with honey. you should it some thing really hot like hot soup then if that don't work have a really strong mint.......hope your better........ I have found that thieves oil from www.youngliving.org basically knocks out any cold and flu symptoms within 1 day. When used on my throat the pain was gone in minutes! This is not a "cure" but for immediate relief try gargling with warm salt water. Also an OTC pain reliever may help as well. unfortunatly there is no cure for the common cold,there are some over the counter things one can take that can eleviate the discomfort that you get when these viruses bring sneezing,coughing,sore throats headaches and the like,the treatment i use makes me feel better quicker,1,for a sore throat gargle 4 times a day with warm salty water,2,for a stuffy head boil a pot of water and after you take it off the stove,get a beach towel ,put the pot of water on the table,take the beach towel and put it over your head and inhale the steam for a good 10 minutes,then stop,do this for at least 4 times a day be careful how you handle the pot,its going to be hot.,eat light foods,and keep yourself hydrated.3.lets not forget the chicken soup! it works,believe it or not. i hope you feel better! take some advil. it's anti inflammatory/pain reliever - it usually helps my throat (who woulda thunk it) and use a nasal spray like afrin when your nose starts to get clogged. Elderberry extract, if a virus is the cause.
Balanced bioflavonoids.
CatsClaw shortens the length of time you're ill.
Lots of water, & rest... & rest your voice.
AVOID Everything with animal milk in it, because it causes phlegm, which is a wonderful hiding place for virus, germs, & parasites... Your antibodies can't get at them, but they can replicate like crazy while protected by it!
AVOID sugar, because it lowers the immune system,
& can also cause phlegm.
AVOID smoke, & alcohol.
Once the virus has entered your cells, your body can't detect it to kill it, even if strengthened to do so. The life of a virus is 2 weeks, so you'll need to take something for the resulting symptoms for at least that long. Assuming that it is a virus...
Bioflavonoids --balanced-- help with the pain, a LOT.
Capsules are better than pills, fresh --i.e., the whites of the inside of orange peels, thoroughly chewed & swallowed without water-- are better. Very Soothing! (The acid in the fruit itself, however, is very painful, & best discarded.) A slice of lemon and teaspoon of honey in hot water is very soothing.
Take vitamin C and ecinacia to help speed up getting rid of it - it is now proven.
