Sore Throat


Question Posted Thursday January 26 2006, 1:53 pm

I got sick yesterday morning, and i stayed home from school today because of it. I have a really bad scratchy sore throat. Like those ones where you constantly have to cough and your throat feels dry and scratchy. Thats' what I have and I want to know how i can get rid of it asap because I have a dance to go to tomorrow night. Anyway have any home remedies I can try? Thank-you..

You can try gargling with salt water, drinking tea, or eating soup. Also, make sure you *drink fluids!* (try drinking pepsi or coke warm, its carbonated) Good luck and feel better! ♥

Chicken soup lowers the inflammatory responce.
You can also get some spray that will numb your throat.
Also, just be perky at the dance to make up for your voice. It will probably be too loud to talk much anyway.

this sounds so gross//it also tastes gross. but whenever i have a sore throat my mom tells me to gargle salt water..just gargle it for a min and then spit it back out. just get a cup of water. and put a lot of salt in it. its really gross but it honestly works. you should try it.
hope it works.

Try a glass of hot tea sweetened with a little bit of honey and add a squirt of lemon juice. If you have any zinc lozenges with vitamin C, they may help as well. Halls Daily Defense is what I always use.

Have lots of water, get a good night sleep.
And lay down alot, gargle (sp?) with salt water ( but table salt in the water) Make sure you take all your medicine (if you leave in the US zicam i thinks that how you spell it, works wonders) and dont be overly active. GET WELL fast<3

rinse your mouth and gargle with warm salt water.
that breaks up all the stuff in there and makes the scratchiness go away a little. take a hot shower. and put a hot wash cloth over your face. breath deep... and do the salt water thing like 2-3 times an hour. take care!
