Do you know of a natural cure for a sore throat?!
Question: Besides honey....
I have a really sore throat. Probaby due to all the germs I picked up from my neices and nephews... Help!
I want to avoid any OTC medication because I work nights with mentally-challenged patients. I need to be ready and alert at all times. Most non-drowsy formulas rarely work as well as the drowsy fomulas any way...

Try salt-water. Take a little salt and water and gargle with it. It tastes nasty, but it does work.
Lots of liquids, honey and lemon drinks, paracetamol and gargle with diluted TCP.
honey and lemon drinks (hot) Gargle with a tablespoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Repeat throughout the day. Lots of fluids will help better than otc meds. But if it does persist, go see the doc
get some tea bags, honey, lemon. Make a hot cup of tea with honey and lemon. This will help soothe your throat. Also you can gargle some warm salt water.
Good Luck, I hope you feel better.
Ok, here are the natural things that I do to cure my sore throat.
1. Gargle a warm water with salt.
or
2. Put a hand towel in a hot water and then place it on your throat and then lie down on your bed. (What I mean with hot is something that is stronger than a warm water and doesn't burn/hurt your skin)
And also don't forget to drink plenty of water.
Honey and lemon work well for me.
Hi try zinc tablets if they are ok to suck on a hard candy, this will work.
Or gargling with lukewarm salt water but not good if you have a gag relfex.
Another would be to just "let it heal"
all of the above ppl have good answers with one exception, if your sore throat is caused by a strep bacteria or you begin to have fever that will not go away after 24 hours, you will need an antibiotic. A natural remedy will not work for that.
I have great luck by simply gargling with warm salty water every hour or two. I also use hydrogen perioxide to gargle and praise it's results too.
Yes! You can use a colloidal silver spray, silver naturally is a antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiinflammatory, it works for me:)
