What is the best remedy to cure a soar throat?!


Question: My grandma ALWAYS made this for me. Go the store and buy 1 big chunk of ginger. Make sure it is really firm, no soft or bruised spots. You don't have to peel it. Just chop it into slices (like 1/4inch thick). Put it in a small pot with a can of coke or pepsi (cola works best) and a spoon full of sugar. Heat this on low (it will simmer just a little) until it gets to be kind of like a syrup. You can start it on like med-high heat, just remember to turn it down! It should take like 30-45mins. If you want it thicker then heat it longer with a little more sugar. When it is ready just pour the liquid (take out the chunks) in a small jar or other glass container and store it in the fridge. Every time you cough or throat hurts too bad, take a good sip. You can't overdose so drink up! It doesn't taste GREAT but its really not that bad. Your throat should feel better and cold should be gone in a couple days at MOST.

lots and lots of water...that's the best remedy of a soar throat!:)

Gargle with warm salt water. The salt will heal your throat.

Chicken soup will help for a time.
But warm water with just a little salt, then gargle with it and it will also help with a sore throat.
Get well soon.

Hot milk, ( cup) pinch of salt and turmeric powder works wonders. Turmeric is natural antiseptic.

My mother always gave me tea and honey(separate portions) and that always seemed to help.
