what do you do??

when you have a sore throat??

my throat hurts sooooo bad. i think i should go to the doctor.

Re: what do you do??

  • 1) gargle warm salt water

    2) hot tea with lemon and honey (or just hot water with lemon & honey)

    3) This is weird, but it helps: rub vicks vapor rub on the bottoms of your feet and put socks on.  Sounds crazy but for some reason it works! 

  • OJ.

    Also, I've found that exercise helps. When you exercise typically you breathe a little heavier which initially would iritate your throat. However, your body will naturally produce more mucus to combat the soreness. It is usually the last thing that I want to do but it always makes me feel better in the long run.

  • Hot Toddy. Right before I take a nap or go to bed

    Traditional Scottish recipe

    Pour a shot of Whisky into a cup or mug, add boiling water to it. Add a spoonful of honey or sugar. Add a half slice of lemon, 2 cloves and, if you have one, a cinnamon stick. leave it is to brew for 3?5 minutes.

    I usually just do the whiskey, and hot tea (not hot water) with honey and lemon.
