Anyone have any tips on curing my EXTREMELY sore throat?!


Question: I have tried cough drops, hot tea, chicken soup,steam showers, and that ceperocol numbing spray stuff.
Answers:
NO, DO NOT EAT POPSICLES.

As you said warm chicken broth, tea with lemon and honey, and take Sudafed. Take the kind that included sore throat. Also, even tho it is spring, and the weather is warm, stay in bed for 24 hours, and wrap a scarf around your neck, and sleep. Do not take the non drowsy Sudafed. Take the kind that helps you sleep. Also take some NyQuil.
Sleep and warmth help best.

Try a lollipop or those frozen popsicles. It'll keep the pain down for a little while AND it tastes good.
Have you bothered to see a doctor?
How about a tablespoon of Honey? It coats for awhile. Or gargle a class of Hot water and salt.
Get some of the zinc Cold Eze lozenges, they help pick up your immune system!
Gargle with salt water.as hot and salty as you can stand. Do it several times a day.
eat a bag of crisps, the salt will disinfect it.
lemon drops and lemon tea. Something about lemon helps soothe the throat.
You probably have strep throat and by the way, you could be snoring while you are sleeping, which makes your throat sore. You really should go to a doctor to rule out any growths, infected TONSILS or adenoids, or even something as serious as cancer.

Try zinc lozenges meantime, or zinc tabs. They might help. A teaspoon of honey several times a day will also make it feel better, but DO NOT avoid going to the doctor if this is a chronic problem.
pure lemon juice works wonders. just drink about a thumbs width in a glass. singers use it all the time when their throats are sore.

You might have some infection and if you have tried all those things then try going to the doctor and tell him you have tried all those things, he will give you anti-biotics and they hould work and if they don't go back and tell him as then he will take a specimen sample of what is in your throat and send it to the laboratory to be analysed. If you have gone that far you will know what is causing the trouble and why it is not healing.
How about Lemon with Honey? If you can stand lemon alone, you can squish half lemon add a tiny bit of salt and just gulp it through your throat.it will feel a tiny tingy and soon..it is over..if you hate sour stuff..then u can mix 1 lemon with honey (as long as ur not allergic to honey) and pour hot water..stir it and taste accordingly..if still sour put more honey..repeat as necessary. Works for me. And I follow with gurgle with salt water before bed.Good luck.
Whiskey, hot tea and lemon.
Works wonders.
salt water really does work and i always take asprin if it gets too bad and it makes the pain almost disappear for a while.feel better!

oh, also go look in the mirror and make sure you don't have white bumps all over your throat. they can either mean strep or mono
A sore throat is usually a pre-sympton to flu or the common cold. The feeling of sore and pain is your body saying you have a infection in your throat.

My grandmother has a age-old receipt that works well for us, hopefully it works for you too:

- Molesis (you can get this at local supermarket)
- 1 Lime

Mix 2 to 3 spoonful of molesis into warm water, add quarter/half of lime juice (depend how serious your sympton is). Drink one in the morning and one in the afternoon, you should feel better after a few hours.

My grandmother said it stregthen the immune system, however I don't know if it really does that. But it works great for us when we had a cold and I still drink it during flu season.

Of course you should always consult with a doctor if it really get serious.

Hope this help~
Take a couple of soluble aspirin or paracetamol (tylenol). Dissolve them in water as hot as you can stand, gargle with it and then swallow it.
gargal with warm water and alot of salt, do it before u sleep and when u wake up. also try 3big spoons of honey with 1 whole lemon and hot water, mix together and drink with a smile!

my mums advice
Try to gargle your mouth every hour with warm water. Even try ginger as candy.
Try a nasal spray to stop the post nasal drip and try tylenol sore throat, it really works.
